    • There has been proposals on modeling fron Ford and BMW
    • Paul is happy to help if someone wants to drive it forward
    • Gunnar: The proposal from Swen - adding info on source of data items, has been discussed, adding metadata or ontology
    • Gunnar: Found some drafts on layers, we should put them somewhere

VSS Layers was discussed in Cloud & Connected Services project, end of 2019 and beginning of 2020.

The VSS Layers draft was attached to the page.

Meeting notes  2024-04-18 (April 2024 AMM Working Session on Raw vs. Derived signals):

  • The definition of derived signals is not as straightforward as the definition of raw signals
    • Distraction levels of 0% and 100% are clear but what does 66% or 34.5% distracted really mean?
    • Should distraction really be represented as a percentage? Or, perhaps an enum?
  • Units are one way in which clarity can be achieved
    • Requires introspection (ability to ask the model) support in the API or equivalent
  • Even if enums are used to "bucketize" or categorize the values, interpretation of what each bucket means is still important or not necessarily clear
    • For example, what is a crash and severity of crash can have different interpretations depending on culture, context, etc.
    • Same for aggressiveness
  • How could we make available information on how a signal is derived?
    • Where it may be needed or useful
    • How can this be expressed to the user?
    • Does it need to be digital?
  • Margins of error and calculations may vary in time
    • Remaining distance based on fuel consumption varies over time
    • Some signals from which a derived signal is generate may become unavailable or become available again
    • The rate of incoming signals may affect the derivation
    • How do we plan to repesent this?
  • Even an OEM may not know how some signals are derived
    • The Tier-1 may have their own way of doing the derivation and this is not available to the OEM
  • What is a raw signal?
    • Is there such a beast?
    • Clearly there are some, but perhaps the great majority of signals are derived?
  • Would adding all the information discussed above impact simplicity?
    • One main goal of VSS is simplicity
    • Perhaps less precise definitions of signal values is actually simpler
  • Should we define the set of parameters to evaluate in order to decide if a derived signal should be added to the signal catalog?
    • Is portability of applications (where they can rely on a "standard" definition of a signal) a concern?
      • And therefore should the signal catalog only contain clearly defined signals as opposed to leaving definition to interpretation?
    • Options to consider:
      • Determine if the signal should be made part of the catalog or left for manufacturers to add using overlays
      • Require that signal definitions refer to a standard
      • Allow liberal interpretation, but mention in signal definition comments that interpretation is left to the implementation

Meeting notes  2024-04-09:

  • Crash detection/events - car immobilized

  • AMM
    • No regular VSS meeting next week
      • Erik has asked Paul to delete

Meeting notes  2024-03-18:

  • AOSP
    • Merge ok
  • VSS vs. VSS-tools compatibility
  • Overlay and remove
    • Shall new keyword "state" be considered to be part of "std VSS syntax", i.e. described in VSS doc
      • Alternative is to consider it just as a VSS-tools-specific feature
    • https://github.com/nwesem/vss-tools/pulls
    • Adnan: Does not really understand the use of active/inactive
    • Daniel: Is it intended only for exporter, or also other function
    • Adnan: Inactive/active fills a different purpose, not needed for vss-tools for purpose of removing signals of tree
  • Terminology:
  • AMM

    • Topics for discussion:

    • Raw vs. derived signals; does VSS need to define or state how signals are derived?
      • Is this useful to clients?
    • For signals derived through ML; should confidence level, variance, precision, error, etc. be reported?
      • Is this useful to clients?
    • How should model-generated derived signals such as "driver attentiveness" be represented (in the absence of a standard)?
      • Confidence percentage? Enum?
    • To what level of specificity should VSS describe signals?
      • Leave semantics to OEMs (flexibility for OEMs but affects portability) or define them precisely?

Meeting notes  2024-03-12:

  • Adnan -overlay and remove node
    • See https://github.com/nwesem/vss-tools/pull/2 - not ready for official VSS repo yet
    • Keyword "deleted"
    • Comments welcome
    • Pierre Pierre: Interested, will share some feedback. We have thought of a private "x-delete" but better if public/agreed
  • AMM Planning
    • We should plan content for the VSS Working Session Wed 16.45-17.30. Here is one possible agenda, but it can be adapted as needed if there are other topics someone wants to bring up.


      Agenda


      • 5 minutes – introduction to VSS maintainer team (i.e. Erik, Adnan, Sebastian) and general requirements if we should refactor VSS
      • Recap & Way Forward (10 min each) – Quick recap of the topic and discuss if there is anyone that wants to drive the topic.
        • VSS Type Representation and Reusable Properties
        • Tree vs. Flat Structure
        • Instance Handling
        • Overlays
      • Other topics (10 min)

      A potential abstract for the official agenda could be something like below, unless someone else has a better proposal:

      “ At the last AMM we discussed several potential improvement areas for VSS like property support and refactored instance handling. In this session we will continue the discussion and align on VSS roadmap for 2024-2025

    • Discussion
      • PPB: Value discussing various concepts (40 minutes)
        • A number of signals are "raw" signals, others derived. Sometimes it matters how they are derived
        • Driver attentiveness/sleepiness, what is meaning of 63% sleepiness, how to handle confidence
        • VIN - is static/attribute, what should we do we signals if value comes regularly but never change
      • Erik: Would be great if you present it PPB
      • Daniel: Aspects of having derived information, all participants of the driving env. Concentrate on model, rather than individual signals like VIN - have a session 4:00 PM - 4:45 PM Wed (Towards a Vehicle DATA Specification), but would like to have some time in working session as well
      • Paul: need agenda, slides does not be prepared
      • Paul: There might be remote participants
    • AP: PPB to prepare slides
    • AP: Erik to propose agenda/abstract
  • VSS data (time series) discussion
  • VSS Release Planning
    • https://github.com/COVESA/vehicle_signal_specification/issues/689
    • Erik: "5.0 Only" - only some minor signal rename and datatype changes, but they have been for quite a while
    • PPB: The delete functionality could be nice to have in 5.0 - a major capability
    • Erik: That would be ok, good to announce that 5.0 will include delete
    • Erik: working assumption - wait with 5.0 until delete-functionality
    AMM Planning
    • We should plan content for the VSS Working Session Wed 16.45-17.30. Here is one possible agenda, but it can be adapted as needed if there are other topics someone wants to bring up.
