FMI 3.0 Beta 3 Pre-Release

The Modelica Association Project has released the Beta 3 pre-release of version 3.0 of the Functional Mock-up Interface standard.

This beta pre-release is likely to be the first release candidate of the upcoming 3.0 release.

As a long-standing supporter and member of the project, we will support this release with further resources. This includes non-normative sample Test FMUs, which have been updated to the new beta 3 release.

Further test FMUs are avaliable from the MAP FMI Reference FMUs project repository, which provides test FMUs for FMI 1.0, 2.0 and 3.0.

OpenSCENARIO 2.0 Public Release Candidate

ASAM e.V. has released a public release candidate of the upcoming OpenSCENARIO 2.0 standard.

This release candidate provides a great basis for review and feedback on the language prior to the final release.

As one of the founding members and language sub-lead of the OpenSCENARIO 2.0 project, we will support this release with further resources for getting acquainted with the language. This includes a draft Python framework for parsing of OpenSCENARIO 2.0 files, named py-osc2.

OSI Release 3.4.0

ASAM e.V. has released version 3.4.0 (Gallant Glock) of the Open Simulation Interface standard. This is the second full release of Open Simulation Interface under the ASAM umbrella.

The release features numerous backward-compatible extensions, including support for Flatbuffer encoding, data volume reductions in SensorView messages by omitting static information, and support for in-vehicle data communications. It includes many other enhancements and alignments across OpenX standards.

The release can be downloaded from the OSI GitHub pages.

OSI Release 3.3.1

ASAM e.V. has released version 3.3.1 (Fabulous Fangio Update 1) of the Open Simulation Interface standard. This is the first full release of Open Simulation Interface under the ASAM umbrella.

The release features numerous backward-compatible extensions, including added support for traffic participant modeling, as well as many other enhancements and alignments across OpenX standards.

The release can be downloaded from the OSI GitHub pages.

First Release of ASAM OpenX Standards

After only one year of intensive project work since taking over the further standardization activities of the OpenX standards, ASAM e.V. has now released OpenDRIVE V1.6.0 and OpenSCENARIO V1.0.0. The newly released versions offer significant improvements over their predecessor versions, and demonstrate the succesful transition of the OpenX standards to the ASAM organization.

As participants in the transfer of these standards to ASAM e.V. as well as ongoing participation in those ASAM projects, PMSF IT Consulting is very happy with the global industry-wide interest in these standards and the succesful completion of the first standardization projects.

Pegasus Symposium 2019

The federally supported German research project PEGASUS has presented its core results during the PEGASUS Symposium 2019 held at the VW proving grounds at Ehra, Germany.

As a sub-contractor for some of the PEGASUS participating companies, with a special focus on definition and standardization of simulation interfaces, like OSI or OSMP, we are very happy to see the ideas of PEGASUS come to fruition in such a convincing manner.

ASAM OpenSCENARIO, OpenDRIVE and OpenCRG Proposal Workshops

As part of the process of ASAM e.V. taking over the further standardization activities of OpenDRIVE, OpenCRG and OpenSCENARIO, the initial project proposal workshops for OpenDRIVE/OpenCRG and OpenSCENARIO were held at ASAM headquarters in Höhenkirchen, Germany from 2019-01-15 to 2019-01-18.

As participants in the transfer of these standards to ASAM e.V., PMSF IT Consulting is very happy with the global industry-wide interest in these workshops and the standardization projects that are being set up.

We feel that the increased standardization of innovative approaches in these areas is likely to yield industry-wide benefits in the development of autonomous vehicles and their validation.
