Project Proposals

This new ASAM project aims at standardizing key aspects of Vehicle Occupant Monitoring Systems (VOMS) in the automotive industry. The project will create two deliverables:

• 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.
• 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.

By developing a standardized framework, we this project aims to enhance road safety, improve integration and interoperability of VOMS solutions, and foster innovation.

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.

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.

The project goals are to identify critical elements of VOMS that need standardization, develop effective strategies for standardization, and create a proof of concept to demonstrate the feasibility and benefits of the proposed standards.
