ActiveAutonomyLevel

Full qualified VSS Path: Vehicle.ADAS.ActiveAutonomyLevel
Description: Indicates the currently active level of autonomy according to SAE J3016 taxonomy.
Comment: Follows https://www.sae.org/news/2019/01/sae-updates-j3016-automated-driving-graphic taxonomy. For SAE levels 3 and 4 the system is required to alert the driver before it will disengage. Level 4 systems are required to reach a safe state even if a driver does not take over. Only level 5 systems are required to not rely on a driver at all. While level 2 systems require the driver to be monitoring the system at all times, many level 2 systems, often termed “level 2.5” systems, do warn the driver shortly before reaching their operational limits, therefore we also support the DISENGAGING state for SAE_2.

Eclipse Leda: Usage Example

In Eclipse Kuksa.VAL Databroker CLI:

$ databroker-cli
sdv.databroker.v1 > connect
[connect] OK
sdv.databroker.v1 > get Vehicle.ADAS.ActiveAutonomyLevel
[get]  OK
Vehicle.ADAS.ActiveAutonomyLevel: ( NotAvailable )
sdv.databroker.v1 > set Vehicle.ADAS.ActiveAutonomyLevel Foo
[set]  OK

About VSS

The Vehicle Signal Specification (VSS) is an initiative by COVESA to define a syntax and a catalog for vehicle signals. The source code and releases can be found in the VSS github repository.

Supported datatypes

The following is a list of VSS supported built-in datatypes:

Name Type Min Max
uint8 unsigned 8-bit integer 0 255
int8 signed 8-bit integer -128 127
uint16 unsigned 16-bit integer 0 65535
int16 signed 16-bit integer -32768 32767
uint32 unsigned 32-bit integer 0 4294967295
int32 signed 32-bit integer -2147483648 2147483647
uint64 unsigned 64-bit integer 0 2^64 - 1
int64 signed 64-bit integer -2^63 2^63 - 1
boolean boolean value 0/false 1/true
float floating point number -3.4e -38 3.4e 38
double double precision floating point number -1.7e -300 1.7e 300
string character string n/a n/a

Min, max and default values defined in a Vehicle Signal Specification must be in the supported range of the data type.
