Public Review

Involving all ASAM members to ensure high quality, usefulness and implementability of our standards.

Public Review

ASAM is asking for feedback on release candidates for upcoming new standards or major versions prior to their release. Purpose of this review is to improve quality and efficiency of the standards.

We ask all experts to provide their feedback by leaving comments in the release candidate. Please check particularly for:

completeness: Are there any missing parts or features that are required to use the standard?
unclarities and ambiguities: Are there any terms, definitions or content parts that are imprecise, unclear, not (sufficiently) defined or not understandable?
inconsistencies: Are there any terms, definitions or content parts that contradict each other or are incompatible with other parts of the standard? Is the structure and line of reasoning plausible and consistent?
usefulness: According to your expertise, is the standard practical and useful? Does it meet current market needs and requirements?
implementability: According to your expertise, is the standard in its current form feasible and can it be implemented cost-effectively? Does the standard allow an implementation with state-of-the-art technologies? Is the standard designed to be future-proof.
Please do not submit new use-cases, features or requirements for the upcoming release.

ASAM SOVD 1.1.0
ASAM SOVD (service-oriented vehicle Diagnostics) defines a self-describing API for accessing the diagnostic content of both high-performance computers (HPCs) with their related applications, and classic ECUs. Unlike traditional approaches, it enables Diagnostics without requiring an external description file. In addition to Diagnostics, the API also supports software updates. ASAM SOVD is used for all three usage scenarios: in-vehicle, co-located, and remote. The upcoming version ASAM SOVD 1.1.0 introduces several enhancements for HPCs, including start, stop, and restart of entities, script execution, improved locking, and in-vehicle communication locking. Basic services have also been extended, for example with trigger-based and cyclic data access. Review This is a member review. Membership is required to take part.

ASAM OpenX standards in offroad applications
Industries involving landfill, construction, agriculture, and mining are looking to deploy or have already deployed highly automated driving functionality. There is a strong overlap in the use cases for ASAM OpenX standards across on-road and offroad ADAS/AD. The off-road environment in which these systems often operate, has unique requirements that are currently not addressed by the ASAM OpenX standards. This includes characterizing soil strength to simulate slip and sinkage, simulating interaction with the terrain (digging and moving), and working in close proximity with other vehicles (loaders filling haulers). To support companies in the offroad domains and to prevent redundancy, this project group has developed a concept that: collects use cases and scenarios of offroad applications, provides a framework for representing the divers range of vehicles involved, describes the environment for modeling and simulation of the vehicles, covers scenarios for involving maniupulation and material handling. The concept depicts guidelines and recommendations for expanding the ASAM OpenX standards (namely ASAM OpenDRIVE, ASAM OpenCRG, ASAM OpenSCENARIO XML, ASAM OpenMATERIAL 3D, and ASAM OSI, to support offroad vehicle simulations.
