Overview
ISO 23150-2:2026 defines the logical object-level interfaces between environmental perception sensors and the data fusion unit in road vehicles equipped with automated driving functions. As part of the ISO 23150 series, this document focuses specifically on the object level, including interfaces for potentially moving objects, road objects, static objects, and free-space objects. It establishes a standardized structure for sensor data integration, ensuring compatibility and interoperability for automated and autonomous vehicle systems, while deliberately excluding electrical, mechanical, and raw data interface specifications.
Key Topics
- Object-Level Interfaces: The standard specifies four primary object-level logical interfaces:
- Potentially Moving Object Interface: Handles data related to objects capable of movement (such as vehicles, pedestrians, and other moving obstacles), including their status, dynamics, and classification.
- Road Object Interface: Covers objects integral to the road environment (e.g., road markings, signs, barriers).
- Static Object Interface: Manages objects considered permanently stationary, like parked vehicles and fixed infrastructure.
- Free-Space Object Interface: Relates to the representation and detection of areas without objects, crucial for safe path planning.
- Modular Data Structure: Emphasizes a modular approach based on generic object-level interface specifications, supporting clarity and scalability in implementation.
- Semantic Representation: Utilizes clearly defined signal groupings and profiles for complex object attributes (e.g., object position, motion type, recognition classification, and observation confidence).
- Exclusion of Raw and Physical Interfaces: Focuses solely on logical data abstraction, without dictating hardware connectors, electrical signals, or raw sensor outputs.
Applications
Implementing ISO 23150-2:2026 delivers practical value to a wide range of stakeholders in the automotive and automated driving ecosystem:
- Sensor Integration: Enables multi-sensor environments (camera, radar, lidar) to standardize the output provided to vehicle data fusion units, supporting accurate environmental perception.
- Data Fusion Consistency: Provides a uniform interface for object-level information, enhancing the consistency, reliability, and interpretability of fused data used by automated driving functions.
- System Interoperability: Facilitates compatible and scalable development of automated driving systems by third-party suppliers, OEMs, and Tier-1 integrators, contributing to faster and more reliable deployment.
- Safety Enhancement: Ensures that critical object-level information, such as entity status, object tracking, and confidence levels, is communicated clearly-supporting robust situational awareness for autonomous and semi-autonomous vehicles.
- Scalable Architecture: Supports both single-sensor and clustered-sensor configurations, enabling flexible deployment in passenger cars, commercial vehicles, and future mobility solutions.
Related Standards
ISO 23150-2:2026 is part of the broader ISO 23150 series, which addresses multiple layers of logical interfaces in vehicle sensor and data fusion architectures:
- ISO 23150-1:2026 - General information and principles for logical interfaces between sensors and data fusion unit for automated driving functions
- Other Parts of ISO 23150 (e.g., Parts 11-15, 20) - Covering additional interface types, technology-specific features, and supportive or sensor input interfaces
- ISO/TC 22/SC 31 - Relevant technical committee documents on road vehicles and data communication
For comprehensive implementation and integration, referencing the full ISO 23150 series is recommended to ensure compliance and maximize the interoperability benefits provided by these logical interface standards.

Introduction
Vehicle environmental perception sensors (single sensor or sensor cluster) provide logical interfaces
according to the ISO 23150 series to the fusion unit or automated driving functions. The fusion unit
generates a surround model and interprets the scene around the vehicle based on the sensor data. Interfaces
are defined on different levels and described in a modular and semantic representation. The interfaces
on feature level, advanced detection level and detection level are technology specific and differ by each
technology.
Figure 1 shows the schematic and contextual relationships between the documents relating to logical
interfaces of the ISO 23150 series.
Key
scope of this document
Figure 1 — Relationship of the ISO 23150 series
This document specifies the object level interfaces. Object interfaces such as the "potentially -moving -object
interface" (5.2.1), the "road object interface" (5.3.1), the "static object interface" (5.4.1) and the "free-space
object interface" (5.5.1) are part of the object level. These interfaces are based on the generic specifications
[1]
of the object level interface in the ISO 23150-1 , which are supplied by single sensors or sensor clusters.
This document references generic specifications of signals of the header and the generic interface levels.
A sensor or sensor cluster may also implement (provide or receive) logical interfaces:
— on feature, advanced detection or detection level (see technology specific parts of the ISO 23150 series);
— for additional interfaces as supportive sensor interfaces and sensor input information interfaces (see
[7]
ISO 23150-20 ).
This document is not intended to replace the logical interface specifications of other documents in the
ISO 23150 series.

5 Object level
5.1 General
The generic specification of the object level interfaces is defined in ISO 23150-1:2026, Clause 7. The object
level interfaces shall be based on the generic object level interface as specified in ISO 23150-1:2026, 7.2.
On object level the following interfaces are available:
— potentially moving object interface (5.2.1);
— road object interface (5.3.1);
— static object interface (5.4.1);
— free-space object interface (5.5.1).
5.2 Potentially moving object
5.2.1 Potentially moving object interface
The potentially moving object interface (PMOI) contains the list of objects that could potentially move and
are relevant for driving situations. This includes all objects that currently move, have moved (see Figure 3)
and that are not definitely static three-dimensional structures. Table 1 defines the general structure of the
potentially moving object interface.

The logical structure of the PMOI shall be implemented in accordance with the interface definition specified
in Table 2, the signals as defined in Annex A and ISO 23150-1:2026, Annex A. Furthermore, the generic
profiles as defined in 5.2.4 and in ISO 23150-1:2026 as well as the signal options defined in ISO 23150-1:2026,
Annex B shall also be considered. The object interface defines sets of signals for more detailed potentially
moving object types (for example, lights, persons).

5.2.3 Potentially moving object entity
Each potentially moving object shall describe a recognised real-world object and consists of several LSGs.
Each object, which may move, even if it might have not moved yet since first recognition of the real-world
object, is an entity of potentially moving objects.
A potentially moving object is described by the following LSGs for potentially moving objects with attributes
for different parts (for example, vehicle, pedestrian).
— Status: the status describes general information of the tracked potentially moving object. This
information is based on history of the object tracking. Table 4 defines the signal grouping "Potentially
moving object entity status", which shall be used as the entity status. It defines this status LSG of the
potentially moving object and redefines the signal grouping "generic object level entity status", which
shall be as specified in ISO 23150-1:2026, 7.4.
— Information: the information describes properties such as the confidence of an object type.
— Position/ bounding box: the object pose of a potentially moving object is defined by "Profile: Object
pose" (ISO 23150-1:2026, 7.5.3). Due to recognition capabilities, small structures shall not be included
in the bounding box. The signal "Included geometric structures" (A.2.5) defines, what is included in the
bounding box. There is no signal defined to determine the minimal distance up to which an information,
relevant to the road user, is still recognizable.
— Dynamics: the dynamics describe the motion information of the tracked potentially moving object with
respect to the motion type defined by the signal "Motion type" (A.1.2) [see Profile: Motion type (5.2.4.1)].
— Lights: the lights describe the status of the tracked potentially moving object’s lights.
— Persons: the persons describe a recognised person type, its gestures and poses of the tracked persons if
the tracked potentially moving object may be a pedestrian or include persons (for example, the driver of
a vehicle).
— Lane related information: the lane related information describes the tracked potentially moving object
in relation with real-world lane boundaries.
— Motion related information: the motion related information describes additional motion information
of the tracked potentially moving object.
1)
— Camera sensor technology specific : the camera sensor technology specific data describe dynamic
information in the camera projection plane.
— Radar sensor technology specific: the radar sensor technology specific data describe different surface
and material properties of the potentially moving object with respect to the radar.
— Lidar sensor technology specific: the lidar sensor technology specific data describes different surface
and material properties of the potentially moving object with respect to the lidar (for example, reflection
strength of a surface).

5.2.4 Potentially moving object profiles
5.2.4.1 Profile: Motion type
The signal "Motion type" (A.1.2) defines the interpretation of the signal "Velocity {x, y, z}" (A.2.6)", "Velocity
{x, y, z} – error" (A.2.7), "Acceleration {x, y, z}" (A.2.8), "Acceleration {x, y, z} – error" (A.2.9), "Rotation rate
at instantaneous centre of rotation {yaw}" (A.2.12) and "Rotation rate at instantaneous centre of rotation
{yaw} – error" (A.2.13) values.
5.2.4.2 Profile: Motion state vector
A potentially moving object entity provides a motion state vector. The sensor may provide a full or enhanced
[8]
error model according to ISO 23150-1:2026 , B.4.1.3.5. For example, the motion state vector of the sensor
[8]
is provided together with an enhanced error model {"Position {x, y, z}" (ISO 23150-1:2026 , A.2.43),
[8]
"Velocity {x, y, z}" (A.2.6), "Orientation {yaw, pitch, roll}" (ISO 23150-1:2026 , A.3.21) and "Rotation rate at
instantaneous centre of rotation {yaw}" (A.2.12)}.
[8]
The resulting error model based on variances, covariances and cross-covariances (see ISO 23150-1:2026 ,
[8]
B.4.1.3.4 and ISO 23150-1:2026 , B.4.1.3.5) may provide a symmetric nD matrix:
(1)
where
[8]
"Position – error" corresponds to the signal "Position {x, y, z} – error" (ISO 23150-1:2026 ,
A.2.44);
"Velocity – error" corresponds to the signal "Velocity {x, y, z} – error" (A.2.7);
"Orientation – error" corresponds to the signal "Orientation {yaw, pitch, roll} – error" (ISO
[8]
23150-1:2026 , A.3.22);
"Rotation rate – error" corresponds to the signal "Rotation rate at instantaneous centre of
rotation {yaw} – error" (A.2.13).
[8]
In addition to existing error signals "Position {x, y, z} – error" (ISO 23150-1:2026 , A.2.44), "Velocity {x, y,
[8]
z} – error" (A.2.7), "Orientation {yaw, pitch, roll} – error" (ISO 23150-1:2026 , A.3.22) and "Rotation rate
at instantaneous centre of rotation {yaw} – error" (A.2.13); the additional signals may be provided as sets
of cross-covariances. All covariances of the motion state vector error model are symmetric and therefore
additional optimisation methods are applicable; this means only half of non-diagonal elements need to be
provided.
For example, the LSG "Potentially moving object motion state vector cross-covariances" may provide, for
example, "Position {x, y, z} x Velocity {x, y, z} – error", "Position {x, y, z} x Orientation {yaw, pitch, roll} – error".
The redundant symmetrical signals for the cross-covariances: "Velocity {x, y, z} x Position {x, y, z} – error",
"Orientation {yaw, pitch, roll} x Position {x, y, z} – error" may be skipped. Similar, the symmetric covariances
[8]
of the signals "Position {x, y, z} – error" (ISO 23150-1:2026 , A.2.44), "Velocity {x, y, z} – error" (A.2.7),
[8]
"Orientation {yaw, pitch, roll} – error" (ISO 23150-1:2026 , A.3.22) and "Rotation rate at instantaneous
centre of rotation {yaw} – error" (A.2.13) shall not transmit redundant values (see optimisation method
[8]
ISO 23150-1:2026 , B.1.6).
Table 5 provides a subset of the PMOI with the relevant signals for the motion state vector of this profile and

The signal’s RL is optional by definition of ISO 23150-1:2026 , B.4.1.3.5 but for this profile (5.2.4.2) it should be defined as
mandatory during the system design phase so that at least one signal is mandatory in the LSG.
Additionally, in most cases the description of the signals in planar space (XY-plane) is sufficient. Therefore,
below covariances may either be only 2D
