- platform candidates for the CCS PoC: are the following platforms relevant : Amazon Auto, MS Azur, Veniam ?
- project organization: add another weekly call to discuss architecture
- Sprint & backlog review
- AOB
Participants
Kevin, Guru, Glenn, Benjamin, Keith, Gunnar, Philippe, Steve
Minutes
EV charging
- Kevin: IMHO EV charging when the vehicle is connected to the charging station is totally in the scope of use cases and specifications defined by a consortium like the Open Charging Alliance. However there is a need to know the status of the EV battery charge when the vehicle is not connected
- Glenn: AKAIK the utilities request the status of EV battery charge for load balancing, I could bring an expert in the call to explain the EV/Power Utility communication use case for commercial vehicles as means possible inclusion by GENIVI in defining 'scope' for EV/Electrical Utility communication requirements - leading to the development of open specifications for broaded use of same.
- /TODO/ Geotab to provide an expert in this area to describe current use cases at Monday GENIVI call. (5:30 CET)
- Benjamin: in W3C VSS, there is a branch on battery capacity but it is empty up to now
- Gunnar: agreed, there is a need to complement VSS on this
- Gunnar: I agree that when the EV is connected to the charging station, this is not a use case for GENIVI, however when the vehicle is OTA, this is in scope of our CCS project
- Kevin: last week we at High Mobility open sourced all of our SDK with a unified set of APIs (based on data we got from BMW/Mercedes/... on the production projects), it might be good to look at data examples available at
- Gunnar: IMHO we should rename this topic to EV management (i.e. something different than EV charging) since we do not overlap with the work on EV charging
- Guru: we need also to clarify how this topic fits with the EV battery management system
- EV charging docs (reminder) - useful links
Communication infrastructure - Platform candidates for the CCS PoC
- Philippe: reminds us it would be good to look at Amazon Auto and MS Azure and Veniam (https://veniam.com/products/) as possible target platforms for the CCS project demonstrator
Kevin: does not know Veniam, will check
Gunnar: we need to undestand what role Amazon would like to play: do Amazon want to compete with companies like Geotab and others or do they simply want to sell infrastructure
Gunnar: IMHO it is time to make a generalization of the infrastructure we have in mind
Gunnar: I would like to know whether the car OEMs are already communicating their data through vehicle neutral servers ?
Kevin: we should organize a call to brainstorm on the communication with others
Gunnar: AFAIK W3C process is a little bit slow, we should organize to make faster progress, we need to put building blocks in place
decision schedule a call for brainstorming on communication infrastructure with Kevin/Gunnar on Thu 30 Jan 11:30am CET (ad-hoc call), Philippe will send a calendar invite DONE
- (added offline): Geotab proposed to provide an overview of commercial vehicle to cloud services use case as an example that GENIVI may choose to include in TBD scope for vehicle/'cloud services' (e.g. Amazon, Microsoft Azure), and development of applicable open specifications to satisfy such use cases. Geotab will join the ad-hoc call to present this.
Data categories
Gunnar: in order to keep things concrete, it would be good to give an example of data categories for VSS signals
Glenn asks for clarification
Glenn will send a note to Geotab/Ulf and asks him to sync with Gunnar on this
Gunnar: the scope of the work proposed is not the same as what Geotab is doing for the W3C VSS PoC but we could reuse the same set of data
/TODO/ Gunnar follow with Ulf/Geotab on providing examples of data categories for VSS
Keith: aks a question on VISS (not captured, apologies)
Gunnar: will provide a clarification
Project organization
- doodle-like table to gather participants' availability for a second call updated online, table is here
- Wednesdays at 4pm CET or 5pm CET are the possible common slots
- /TODO/ Glenn to check whether these timeslots fit with the availabilities for Geotab
- /TO/ Guru to check whether these timeslots fit with his availabilities
- we will make the decision for the timeslot and the periodicity of calls at next Monday call
Sprint & backlog review
- Philippe: will update the backlog and the current sprint content according to latest discussions

- Glenn reports on the event he attended in Washington DC last week, this event organized by SAE was about the real-world data collection, 1600 people attended it, including many OEMs; Glenn mentioned GENIVI CSS work in the talk he delivered at the event
- Philippe: reminds us to identify other events in different geographies
AOB
- Due to traveling constraints, Philippe proposed to re-schedule next Monday call at 5:30pm CET
- All: agreed. A calendar invite will be sent.
