This paper presents an application of an ontology in combination with multi-agent technologies in a transport domain. The need for flexibility and agility in this domain is continuously growing due to the increasing complexity in the processes where this domain is used. The ontology, we propose, is shared among agents and provides the common agreement and understanding about the used concepts. This approach offers a convenient way for design and control of distributed systems reducing their complexity, increasing flexibility and enhancing fault tolerance.
