  • Future of VSSo (Paul)
    • 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.
Direct link: https://wiki.covesa.global/download/attachments/12124613/VSS%20composable%20layers%20-%20draft%2020200114.pdf?api=v2

Minutes from CCS are here, but there is a lot…

VSS-Tools PRs

  • 343 to be merged
    Python active support until 2026
  • 344 has to be checked and reviewed
  • 346 to review and merged
  • 347 to be checked by Erik, how to automate version

VSS-Tools Issues

Close issue 194 it is merged now.

Vspec PRs

  • 731 stays open 
    - PierPierB 
        - Comments are documenting summary of the discussion.
        - euro ncap is quite interesting document and it would be great to use this as base for the alignment of this topic.
        - Stefan will check as well with Allianz
  • 737
    - Resolution might be limited(Stefan)
    - What about orientation of screen?
    - What is the main usage and do we have any usecases? Are we missing anything on top.
  • 659
    • Ppb new comment reference to euro cap 


Issue VSpec

  • 735 related to issue spec to franca


We had new visitors.
Sivashankar Yoganathan
AB: Do you have myb some use cases or requirements to share?
SY: We could do exchange and understand requirements.
SY: what is missing is frequency of the signals, but we can discuss more details
SY: possible exchange in two weeks, 
AB: slot in the meeting for 15-20 min. 10min presentations, 10 min talk. cca 07.5.2024
StefanS: Would be great to have this discussion

New people from MOTER that joined us 
Mohair Yadav from Ford as well.

ViSS status.

Ulf and Peter
- Ulf: ViSS is stabilised in covesa repo and everyone can use it
- Peter: demo went well as well on the side of Volvo 

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
    • Stefan: Do we have anything?
    • Adnan: PRs welcome
    • Erik: Sometimes we create a temporary *.md file and add it to PR for discussion.. PPB to put down initial thoughts in *.md
  • AMM
    • No regular VSS meeting next week
      • Erik has asked Paul to delete
    • VSS Deep Dive being prepared by Sebastian Schildt
  • Head& Eye
  • VSS-tools
    • A lot ...

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:VSS vs. VSS-tools compatibility
  • 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?
