Abstract:
Logistics companies depend on the new technology of electric vehicles when inner-city low emissions zones and their restrictions grow. The comprehensible utilization of electric vehicles in such a time and resource critical domain however requires an extensive software support regarding e-vehicle features. Since there are several logistics software systems, there is the need for a knowledge base for electric vehicles to allow a cross-application implementation of those features. In this paper, we argue for such a knowledge base and how it could basically look like. Furthermore, we motivate this base with some use cases. At the end, the paper closes with an exemplary knowledge base for the inference of possible drivers for a specific vehicle type.
