Telematics: Remote 2-Way Communication

Telematics - Workshop III

July 13, 2016
WebEx Meeting

ASAM Members and non-Members met by WebEx on 13 July 2016 to discuss the beginning of standardization efforts for “Cloud Interfaces” and “Security / Authentication”.  The previous two meetings focused on investigation of industry interest in defining technical standards in the area broadly called “two-way radio communication”. This third workshop was to secure the commitment of the participants and to focus on clarifying the next steps for a kick-off meeting.  The slides and discussion of the workshop are listed below.

Participants

Organizations who have declared their interest in future participation:

In this early stage, ASAM encourages more organizations and participants to join the effort to ensure a wide view of a topic is included.  As these Use Case Definitions Groups transition to the actual standardization Working Groups, the ASAM Office will advise the group (based on experience) to limit the number of people involved to encourage short development cycles.  ASAM’s goal is for each version release of the Standard to be less than two years.

SAE International

SAE International participated directly in this workshop.  ASAM and SAE have begun discussions for alignment in potential Standard topics in the area of connected vehicles.  There is interest on both the sides of ASAM and SAE to continue discussion.

Specifically regarding topics, participants in these Steering Groups, Use Case Groups, and Working Groups should take care to make sure all standards are in compliance and harmonized between ASAM and SAE.

1. Various organizations who have not yet confirmed their participation may confirm participation with email to ideation(at)asam.net.

4. A first Telematics Steering Group Meeting will be planned to coincide with SAE 2016 COMVEC in Chicago, IL. Details will follow.

For the kick-off meetings, the ASAM Office requests each participant to prepare a presentation that describes:

• What is the focus of your division in relation to telematics?
• Where would standardization be useful to your organization?
• How would your organization want standards implemented?
• What is your previous experience in technical standard groups? 

ASAM also asks you to consider moderating or documenting the group activities. Please indicate so during the registration process.
