10:30-11:30 | Title: HIM and an interface using it Abtract: The Hierarchical Information Model (HIM) is an evolution of the COVESA Vehicle Signal Specification (VSS) that adds the ability to have multiple trees representing different domains, and representing different types of information. Besides the information type “resource data” that is what is represented by the VSS tree, HIM also supports “service data” where microservices represented by procedures with input and output parameters can be defined. Analogously to VSS, the HIM model does not specify an interface that exposes this information, it leaves this to separate interface specifications. One candidate for this is an evolution of the W3C Vehicle Interface Signal Specification version 2 (VISSv2), that in its current version uses VSS for modelling the data. It is the presenter’s view that this interface can with small modifications be extended to use HIM instead of VSS. This would provide a single interface that can be used to access both information types, that will possibly also be standardized in W3C. The presentation will give the presenter’s view on how this extension could look like. | 360° View of EV Alliances and Initiatives in the Public Charging World: There is no shortage of Alliances and Initiatives related to EV Public Charging. In this session we will walk through the major Alliances and Initiatives highlighting the need for VSS and other common data models. 10:45-11:30 |
| 11:30 - 12:00 | Title: uServices – A Step towards a standardized vehicle Interfaces for SDV Abstract: The automotive industry is undergoing a rapid transformation with increased connectivity and digitalization, necessitating the development of standardized interfaces to ensure seamless integration and interoperability across diverse systems. uServices, a platform-independent solution, offers a comprehensive catalog of vehicle interfaces that provide a standardized approach for accessing vehicle data and sending commands and requests to vehicles from in-vehicle software, cloud, or mobile applications. By establishing these interfaces, uServices facilitate seamless communication and data exchange between different components, promoting efficient collaboration within the automotive ecosystem. uServices interfaces support a variety of interaction patterns, including Publish/Subscribe and Client/Server, enabling flexible and efficient data exchange. These interfaces are defined using protobuf, a widely adopted technology, ensuring compatibility and interoperability. uServices are also compatible with eclipse-uProtocol and are largely compatible with COVESA Vehicle Signal Specification (VSS) further enhancing their integration capabilities.. This session will introduce uServices and explain how the standardized vehicle interfaces are fostering seamless integration, interoperability, and streamlined data exchange across diverse systems within automotive industry.f | |
| 11:55 - 12:15 | Seeing Around the Corner: SDV in the year 2040 John Ellis - JTE Consulting Abstract: What do Germany, the UK, the EU, Japan, and the Republic of Korea all have in common? Besides being home to strong automotive manufacturers, they are contracting parties to the UN 1958 Agreement - a multilateral agreement made under the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe (UNECE) with the objective of establishing uniform regulations for vehicles and their components relating to safety, environment, energy, and anti-theft requirements. On January 22, 2021, UNECE 155 and UNECE 156 entered into force. This talk will give a high level overview of the impact these rules will have on SDVs in the year 2040 and beyond. | |

Ted Guild Unknown User (tom.spreckley) 15:45 - 16:15 Commercial Vehicle Birds of a Feather - Range anxiety mitigation through fleet level energy prediction Range prediction algorithms for EV's currently may have significant inaccuracies, including 10-20%+ errors due to environmental conditions such as precipitation or wind.. One enabler to reducing this error is through connected data. An effective approach is to utilize fleet data and its historical information to improve prediction accuracy. This can be synergized with other predictions that use lookahead horizons.
Christoff Schierjott and Christoff Reiter - Both Remote 16:15 - 16:45 Commercial Vehicle Birds of a Feather - Building COVESA guidelines into the Eclipse Fleet management blueprint In this talk I will present the Fleet Management blueprint which is focused on capitalizing on the data that a fleet of Commercial vehicles generates (Starting point Trucks). Fleet managers want to be able to capture and make use of where vehicles are, how fast they’re going, and other such details. This problem domain is already addressed by commercial vendors offering Fleet Management System (FMS) software-as-a-service , mostly using vendor and vehicle specific telematics units (black boxes) which need to be installed to the vehicle to extract data and transmit to a cloud back end. Clients of such solutions often complain about hardware and software vendor lock-in, which results in high costs for adding vehicles of additional brands and/or migrating to a different FMS vendor. In contrast to this, we built the Fleet Management blueprint with open source technology and standards (VSS) at the heart which the members of the SDV Working Group and other communities have created. This talk will not only give an overview but also propose the changes that we propose due to the new and exciting "CV BoF guidelines" and how we plan to do such work alongside implementing OSS from geotab called "curve logging" that will not only reduce data OTA but further enhance the data insights available in the cloud. We hope this blueprint (BPO) will become the collaboration technology "playground" for all future PoC's 16:45 - 17:15 Commercial Vehicle Birds of a Feather - In-vehicle Consent Management & Services at scale Getting Services working at scale in vehicles, while following GDPR and other privacy regulations, has proven extremely difficult. Aiden Auto provides a solution that scales across OEMs, across Service providers, and puts owners and drivers in the middle of the ecosystem. Finally OEMs are able to offer all the Services they want in their cars, Service providers are able to build and deploy in a scalable simple way, and people can select exactly what Services they want at any given time. Without having to resort to phones or other devices, the Aiden Service Hub unleashes the true potential of connected vehicles, finally bringing parking, charging, and any kind of in-vehicle commerce to life, in full compliance with GDPR. Niclas Gyllenram 17:15 - 17:30 Commercial Vehicle BoF Working Session Technical discussion on sampling campaigns, conventions, consent management, privacy and additional challenges of data collection and cloud offerings. | |
| 16:00 - 16:30 | Building Real-time OTA Updates with an Object Oriented Database (Realm) In this talk, we will share how you can build tools for monitoring the status of the OTA update process. This can include real-time insights into update delivery, success rates, and potential issues. The vehicle and the backend establish a handshake mechanism that streamlines acknowledgments along the OTA process | |
| 16:30 - 17:30 | Cross OEM Private Compute The automotive industry is charging ahead to deliver on the promise of the continuously connected, electrified and software defined vehicle. A promise which depends heavily on supply chain cooperation to share data and optimize architecture efficiency. How will we protect and ensure confidentiality and privacy of both customer and organizational data if we broadly share across OEMs? In this talk, we will discuss a range of privacy enhancing technologies and use EV charging as a POC scenario to walk you through the threat model of data share and mitigation techniques, such as confidential container and summary statistics privacy, to demonstrate the feasibility and effectiveness of the technologies.

| 09:45 - 10:00 | (Confirmed) Title: A strategic perspective on emerging technology trends and transformation in the automotive industry ABSTRACT: The automobile is undergoing the biggest transformation of its 100-year-old history. Beyond the traditional utility as a mode of transportation, vehicles are fast evolving as a platform that seamlessly connects with our digital living, delivering content and services, transcending to a mobile living space. While this transformation is often described using the CASE paradigm (i.e., Connectivity, Autonomous tech, Services and Electrification), the foundation of the shift is really the redesign from a mechanical hardware-centric system to a cloud-connected compute platform where each function is executed via a service-oriented architecture. Looking through this lens, the presentation will explore the emerging Software-defined Vehicle or SDV and its impact on every aspect of the industry including product development, supply chain ecosystem, talent management, and how we manage and perceive the role of data in future value creations. | ||

Adnan Bekan Erik Jaegervall Neil Puthuff Paul Boyes Halim Ragab Ulf Bjorkengren | Title: Managing vehicle life cycle: engineering, production and operation, by using Digital Twin and Simulation, based on VSS Speaker: Walter Buga (CEO at Arendai) Abstract: COVESA’s Vehicle Signal Specification (VSS) is a common approach for describing vehicle data. Its extensible data model provides a common understanding of vehicle data. The automotive industry is adopting the use of Digital Twin and Simulations in the design and manufacturing of vehicles. As an example, Denso will present a vehicle application platform, QUAD, that empowers third party developers to build vehicle applications using a Digital Twin (DUO) that stores data in VSS format. Data and data models, such as VSS are critical for both Digital Twin and Simulations. Currently VSS is primarily used for connected passenger vehicles. Bosch’s speakers will explore the VSS standard and its siblings with a particular focus on its fitness for commercial vehicles. It is important to explore this with other vehicles such as Autonomous Mobile Robots. Using VSS for vehicle life cycle, in engineering, manufacturing and operations, will provide tremendous benefits to the industry by removing silos approaches. | |
