Workshop: ASAM DMS / VOMS concept project
Project update

as Online Meeting
Driver Monitoring Systems (DMS) and Vehicle Occupant Monitoring Systems (VOMS) are critical components of modern vehicles, helping prevent accidents caused by driver fatigue, distraction, and other forms of impaired driving. Ensuring the quality and reliability of these systems is essential to advancing automotive safety and saving lives. The rapid proliferation of VOMS solutions has created a fragmented landscape characterized by proprietary interfaces, incompatible data formats, and inconsistent integration approaches.
By developing a standardized framework, we aim to address critical industry challenges including integration complexity, interoperability issues, and escalating development costs. This new ASAM project aims at standardizing two key aspects of Vehicle Occupant Monitoring Systems (VOMS) in the automotive industry:
- A standardized Application Programming Interface (API) for VOMS
The project aims to develop a language-independent and technology-agnostic interface that enables seamless integration of VOMS capabilities across different vehicle platforms. It will reduce development complexity, support safety-critical features, and foster innovation in occupant-related vehicle functions. Proposal - A standardized VOMS-QA data model
This data model shall define the specific data structures required to represent VOMS-related test and evaluation results in a consistent, machine-readable format. It will be designed to support performance comparison, regulatory reporting, continuous improvement, and efficient toolchain integration. Proposal
While this is a new initiative, it may align with existing ASAM standards related to automotive systems and interfaces, such as the ASAM OpenX standards for data formats. Specific connections to other standards will be identified and explored during the project.
Note: The Standard will not replace existing testing procedures (like Euro-NCAP's DMS testing), define hardware specifications for VOMS, or address non-VOMS vehicle systems.
Support us: To ensure the framework reflects real-world needs, we aim to gather insights from all relevant experts. Help us reach the right people by forwarding this information to partners and clients in In-Cabin sensing.
