Model vehicle signals using the COVESA Vehicle Signal Specification and serve them at runtime through a KUKSA-style data broker instead of inventing your own signal naming scheme

Steps

  1. Review the COVESA Vehicle Signal Specification tree to find standardized signal paths, such as vehicle speed or cabin door state, that match the data your integration needs
  2. Adopt existing VSS signal paths in your own data model instead of creating custom names for concepts the specification already standardizes
  3. Deploy a data broker component, such as the Eclipse KUKSA Databroker, to expose VSS-modeled signals to applications over its gRPC interface
  4. Have in-vehicle or simulated data sources publish updates into the broker so consuming applications can subscribe to current signal values rather than polling a hardware interface directly
  5. Extend the standard VSS tree with custom, clearly namespaced signals only for data genuinely not covered by the specification, to preserve compatibility with other VSS-based tooling
