ASAM is hosting an ideation workshop on
Sep 11, 2025 to prepare 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. There,
it will also be discussed whether to pursue a
concept project or a standardization project.

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.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:
