New ASAM OSI architecture for high fidelity sensor simulation
Ideation workshop
on: Sep 11, 2025 | 10:00 am - 1:00 pm CEST
at: Hybrid: ASAM e.V., Hoehenkirchen, Germany | Online
Motivation
High-fidelity sensor Simulation is becoming increasingly important for verifying and validating advanced driver assist and automated driving functions. New virtual methods can now replicate more physical effects, increasing the need for accurate interaction between signal generators and data consumers.
In actual sensor-ECU combinations, communication is bidirectional which means that an ECU may request e.g. specific exposure settings from a camera (see figure).

However, ASAM OSI primarily supports one-way communication, with limited reverse data flow support. Given ASAM OSI’s broad industry adoption and active maintenance, it provides a solid foundation for expanding support in this area.
Goal
The ideation workshop aims to explore use cases in sensor Simulation where control data flows from the data consumer back to the signal generator (see figure), particularly for sensor types such as:
- Camera
- Radar
- Lidar
- potential other technologies (e.g. ultrasound).
Outcome of the workshop
The outcome of the workshop shall be a preliminary list of topics (per sensor technology) that need to be addressed in the Standard ASAM OSI to support seamless high-fidelity sensor Simulation. It will also recommend whether to pursue a concept project or a standardization project and assign responsibilities for drafting and presenting a project proposal to ASAM’s Technical Steering Committee.
