  • FMS-update
    - Carlton explained again the background of why J1939 is a good std to abstract into our guidelines using the VSS data model

    - potentially missusing overlays or need another DEG discusion required

    - explained about the wishes from the fMS standards group that SAE J1939 causes them issues/cost due to being so closely copupled to CAN and HW

    > (melissa request) Create an overview of what data is actually relavent for each additional field we are proposing for VSS overlay

    > do we define our own DSL (data sampling Language) for measuring the data or do we want to change VSS

    -currently DEG (data expert group) is discussing this topic and thinking that they need to have a way to managed this for specific vehicles  

    
    

  • J1939 questions
    - Some OEMs even considering replacing CAN with IP in the future
      how do we get VSS to become protocol agnostic  

    - Melissa asked if we want to do something with the data >

    - How do we do "plug and play" HW > can the CV BoF be a place that we also focus on this aspect of CV upfitting etc

    - Suppliers & Tiers will need to focus on the lower level abstraction (ford opinion)

    
    

  • Cummins focus:
    - Cummins to support for the FMS topic > we really need to focus on the fleet beenfits aspect
    UNECE1516 direction = Operations: Warranties status & SW updates for all makes/models/components could be highly beneficial
    - Should there be some sort of standard defiend in the control layer for updates etc in COVESA
