15 Vehicle domain service (VDS)

15.1 General

Autonomous vehicles and high intelligent driver support systems will digitize the whole information
around the vehicle. Plenty of data from sensors or lidar, meta data provided by image recognition of
motion pictures taken by cameras installed outside the vehicle are integrated with communication
data from neighbouring traffic participants around the vehicle in order to generate local map
information surrounding the vehicle.
[ISO 23239], vehicle domain service will introduce such an information and recognition platform
applied to autonomous vehicles and intelligent driver support systems. The basic definition of vehicle
domain service is the service application provided by the vehicle server which is implemented in a
vehicle. It will be applied in the area surrounding the vehicle (named as vehicle domain), which is
the area identified by service connectivity between the domain master vehicle (server) and the domain
actors (e.g. other vehicles, network infrastructure sensors, other participants) , equipped (or not) with
VDS. In this context, a basic service will be provided through communication exchanges between the
master vehicle and the domain actors.

A basic vehicle domain service (VDS) scenario consists of one master vehicle and one domain actor;
this is the most simple structure with minimum elements. A typical and valuable service consists of
the capability of generating a high definition map including traffic-moving bodies surrounding the
master vehicle with driving speed. This is known as 'vehicle domain dynamic map service', the most
important use case of VDS.

This use case is carefully distinguished from the typical use case definition of vehicle multimedia
service defined in this document. Figure 16 of vehicle domain dynamic map VDDMS shows the
different actors and use case, intended to use VDS. VDDMS includes multiple inputs from outside
sensors and cameras plus other information provided by communication networks.
