Meeting Minutes
25 February 2025
18 February 2025
- AMM Registration and CV, related track
- Business: Data marketplace: Endava (big picture)
- Business: Insurance: UBI and AI (MOTER)
- Business: Big picture panel (insurance, AOSP, CV, data marketplace, EU Data act, in-vehicle API, ACEA FMS...)
- AOSP and CV - pending (P3)
- Business: unlikely, perhaps Technical track instead. ACEA FMS: want HD OEM recommendation. Achim invited Armin + FMS committee to AMM, (Ford, DAF or Scania participants can make good candidates)
- Alternate idea: Workshop would be useful if we can get FMS attendance and space from Paul for half a day (Tuesday afternoon)/could be a shorter tech track working session
- Tech track (see below)
- Tech: Eclipse SDV Fleet Blueprint: Trucks on a leash
- Tech: Data marketplace showcase (Swen)
- Video needs (further discussion to bring to VSS and/or AMM working session)
- Issues for CV: still need to schedule w/ Erik
- Norwegian Traffic Agency project AOSP+FMD based
11 February 2025
- Co-Chairing: welcome Mouham (Bosch), others interested?
- AMM CV track - including tying to EU Data Act project, AOSP data workstream* Bosch incorporating our use cases and going to select one or more for PoC
- Business Track (main stage)
- Insurance and fleet presentations or panel?
- Big picture/ecosystem
- Do not expect to be enough of substance on FMS for AMM - maybe high level intent from HD OEM
- Technical track (breakout rooms)
- Insurance and fleet data campaign presentation and solicit input/discussion
- overview of in-vehicle API for FMS and RP1230
- Insurance use cases in AOSP - VHAL assessment (Ian)
- CVIS status update (Ulf)
- Working session (EU, AOSP, CV, Data Marketplace, FMS other, MDS)
- Insurance campaign YAML produced, needs polishing
- VHAL signals from MOTER
- accelerometer missing in VHAL but avail in Android (supported in phones)
- no units of measurement analysis/comparison yet
- GIS missing - speed and other signage (expect available in Google Maps - part of GAS of AA not AOSP) - bring up with Google
- no DMS nor AV, less ADAS
- no oil pressure, other scattered missing, no odo, travel distance
- Insurance signals and tooling, need to come up with new workflow
- nearby discussion in VSS call on more advanced representations than YAML
- "Profiles" (vss-tools #436) - meta data in overlays
- mathematical expressions in VSPEC YAML - maybe out of scope for v1 campaigns
- Min/max API, alternate sampling representations
- Would like dedicated call w/ Erik Jagervall & others to advance some of these discussions, we can be helpful in testing out
- FMS moving forward, getting started and informally (more lightweight) but slow
5 February 2025
- Call schedule shift due to conflict with EU Data act project and collapsing insurance breakout call back into CV
- AMM CV track
- ACEA FMS meet tomorrow, formalizing arrangement with COVESA
- Insurance signals and tooling, need to come up with new workflow (deferred)
29 January 2025
- ACEA FMS, 6 Feb prep - MoU w/ COVESA and other legal topics of liaison. separate from pending response from SAE on J1939 licensing
- VHAL mapping for insurance signals
- Tooling on generating YAML Overlay
- Suggestion from Achim: min/max rate on sampling/broadcast frequency when on vehicle edge (eg AOSP on IVI and/or TCU).
- Clear difference depending on whether sampled, off-boarded and available in cloud versus supporting in-vehicle environment. We should have both defined separately
- Limitations of the underlying sensor/ECU - we can have our desired range defined in VSS but the underlying system could expose actual available using the same meta-data attribute (wishlist vs actual). Variation in actual may be indicator of faulty component and maintenance need. AutoSAR always have a max - applied to filtered stream as CAN broadcast frequency might be even higher but the databroker feeding AutoSAR may have imposed limit. Want to be able to recognise difference and whether use case can be supported
- Summary: desired in-vehicle and off-board need to be defined separately, also use the same metadata to reflect actual (collected for off-board or available in-vehicle)
- When/how data is sampled is a potential additional requirement for GDPR - eg GPS only collected and shared with E911 type services in event of an accident
- Issues
- Video
- OEM outreach: candidates and contacts (Daimler NA, Stellantis NA, Asian in EU, Volvo car EU)
- additionally bring to AOSP data and EU Data Act groups in COVESA

f-stop, manufacturer, identifier (sn) - video used as evidence in legal disputes
Last calibration date - need to be done upon repairs, sometimes not done so worth tracking
\either in workshop or in-vehicle, remotely
Error/status before and after crash event
Selection of camera (internal, external front, back, left side, right side, surround view)
**Stream versus buffer (clip)
relates to consent/privacy - willingness to share with specific party in certain events
stream - higher bandwidth and cloud storage costs
review how video is being handled in Android Automotive
interest in object detection/identification - in-vehicle analysis and send observations instead of video similar to DMS in VSS
Definition of conditions for camera feed to be stored (trigger events to be configurable- e.g. accident critical event or specific situation e.g. “pedestrians close to the vehicle. Time to collision below threshold”)
Configuration of duration of video buffer - of seconds before and after an event
Configuration of post processed video (e.g. privacy mode – anonymization of license plates, faces, reduced resolution)
Live feed transmission or store video locally for later retrieval

4 December, 2023
- FMS - goals:
- Agreement to use VSS in the cloud, leverage existing mapping for translation
- Follow CV BoF recommendations - what signals are collected and how they are sampled
- What is missing in current FMS? OEM only focus of FMS - lacks perspective of fleet customers' data needs
- What are we missing in CV BoF recommendations? - likely takeaway - ongoing coordination on signals/sampling
- EU regulator influence on data access - saw article @link? about passenger vehicle OEMs considering FMS
- FMS has transport protocol but not focused on data being sent - unsure if passenger car OEM will coordinate on this level as much as EU HD OEM
- ISO 21434
Neutral Server/Extended Vehicle - has a transport but not a common data model - any relation with FMS?
- SDV Hackathon on Fleet Management
- various things connected to LinkedIn, common hashtag #
- work done in a private github repo - avoid legal issues
- 6-7 challenges, Rust eco-system, effort to combine different container solutions** - at least 3 different ways to handle containers currently in SDV
- Elektrobit container management
- RedHat System D approach
- 4 teams chose fleet management challenge
- created a dashboard, MQTT in the background to inject data into the system
- group looking at profiles - more useful for rental vehicles (relate to ELD in NA?)
- sourcing data for testing
- group wanted to perform analytics and extended range of signals being collected by FMS forwarded - unsure what they added
- Fleet Management Blueprint setup was straight forward, allowing developers to start using/adding onto it instead of wasting time
- Configuration for sampling campaigns - Node Red was used for rapid prototyping
- was too large a topic to solve in a short hackathon
- emphasis was to understand FMS forwarder (Rust component of SDV Fleet Blueprint) and extend it
27 November, 2023
- Preview landing page
- VSS needs to be emphasized more up front
- Requesting review, promotion and endorsements
- Fleet Management Systems (FMS)
- EU HD truck and bus telematics standards - OEM only group*
- Uses J1939 (rFMS/J1939 mapped to VSS)
- Technical deep dive set for 14 December, 2023 (2h), FMS leadership and reps from the 6 HD OEM
- Commercial Fleets are a mix of different classes of vehicles, rest of which do not use J1939
- Goal is to convince them on the importance of higher level abstraction
- Prove VSS abstraction can be moved to vehicle edge
- Questions raised by FMS:
How would FMS Standard look like in a COVESA API? (AutoSAR collab update on Thursday, also Bosch CV Blueprint - Eclipse SDV)
What are your plans to extend the COVESA VSS with commercial vehicle data? (HD specific branches can be added to VSS, much already there. VSS accepts contributions, want HD OEM SME to provide)
What is the status of development of the COVESA vehicle API? (update from AutoSAR)
Do you have a demo available? (yes, Bosch to present)
- What to present/demo and which goals to emphasize?
- Like FMS group to participate in CV to advance guidelines or at least some of their member companies

How to handle alternate sampling conventions
06 November, 2023
Tooling & .csv converter topic
- no comments or offers for support so we continue here between geotab and etas
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

- Privacy/Consent - ambitious but we have a number of pieces and opportunity
- Explicitly which data points will be collected (CV BoF in VSS)
- How they will be used (again CV BoF. use cases are the start of purpose for GDPR). We will use constants for names of use cases as some pertain to multiple signals in order to avoid being too repetitive, side benefit is this can be useful for localization (accommodating descriptions in other languages)
- Who is collecting the data and how to revoke consent, who is easy and can add entity name or URI to the VSS overlays in CV BoF and same for revokation interface URI. Would need to research if there are any standards around consent and revokation APIs or if this is something AiDEN is willing to propose.
- A common interface in the vehicle to interact with driver to capture consent - AOSP activity in COVESA and if generalized enough can by used on QNX and other OS instead of Android specific but worth going for the lower hanging fruit of an Android solution.
- AOSP activity with decent energy at COVESA, CV BoF also off to a good start
- VSS/VHAL mapping in AA prototype was completed, interest in making VSS more central/prominent in AOSP
- Some OEM are reluctant to provide rich data to the head unit and AA, that's fine we can simply capture consent and the data sampling campaign can be triggered to act on that on a TCU
- AiDEN's platform includes consent management for Android Automotive platform, it impressed as being well thought out, intuitive, crisp UI that well informs the individual
- We would need to convey consent was captured either by current driver (who could remain anonymous), owner and driver was informed that consent is explicit and immutable by operator, data will be collected and their recourse if they disagree is to contact owner and not operate the vehicle. What is sent to the data back end would need to be defined. In W3C Auto Working Group a PhD student and his prof have come up with a "sticky policy" to capture this, maybe too complicated for OEM who would prefer to keep it simple.
Strong industry need to handle privacy, has EU OEM tied in knots
- Open issues from Github
11 September, 2023
- Ford EV Range Prediction Team presents
- Recording, Slides
- Research performed at Ford under an EU grant to come up with Correction Factors (CF) based on in-vehicle observations and various external factors (weather, road conditions, altitude changes etc)
- Data sampling campaign can utilize the conventions for collecting EV specific data that is being proposed in the CV BoF
- Discussion on merits, interest to prove out
- Resources (algorithms, data collection techniques used, etc) can readily be opened as the EU research is intended to be public
- Agreement to align efforts
- Github repo created, issues created
- Desire to switch from bi-weekly to weekly cadence
28 August, 2023

- Attendees: Thomas Sprechley (ETAS), Paul Boyes (COVESA), Pierre Pierre Blais (BlackBerry), Ted Guild (Geotab), Sven Jeroschewski (Bosch), Sri Palacharla(GM), Melissa Morris(Ford), Richard Fernandes(GM), Jeff Reid(Google)
- How we'll work
- Spreadsheet as an initial convenience
- All deliverables and issues should be in github, repo requested
- Major announcements to group mailing list, conversations and heads up in slack
- Outline or proposed work
- Open to additional topics to explore
- Additional signal sampling campaigns that can follow these conventions, speaking with EV range prediction this week
