Overview

ISO 23150-20:2026 - Road vehicles - Logical interface between sensors and data fusion unit for automated driving functions - Part 20: Supportive and sensor input interfaces is a standard developed by ISO to specify logical interfaces for sensors and sensor clusters in automated driving systems. This standard focuses on the supportive sensor interfaces for sensor performance, health information, and calibration, as well as a common sensor input interface. It is designed for in-vehicle use where sensors feed data into a data fusion unit to deliver automated driving functionalities.

Crucially, ISO 23150-20:2026 applies only to logical interfaces. It does not cover electrical or mechanical interface specifications, nor does it provide guidelines for raw data interfaces. Instead, it builds on generic specifications from ISO 23150-1 and is intended to work in parallel with other parts of the ISO 23150 series.

Key Topics

  • Supportive Sensor Interfaces (SSI):

    • Sensor Performance Interface: Communicates the operational performance and field of view (FOV) segment details, including performance characteristics and real-world recognition rates.
    • Sensor Health Information Interface: Reports the health status of sensors, such as operational modes, fault detection, voltage and temperature status, and input signal statuses.
    • Sensor Calibration Interface: Provides logical structures for conveying sensor calibration data, including alignment and position information needed for optimal sensor performance.
  • Sensor Input Interface (SII):

    • Common Sensor Input Interface: A unified interface for providing essential parameters and environmental data from multiple sources to a sensor or a sensor cluster, supporting the configuration and operational efficiency required for automated driving systems.
  • Interface Structure and Signal Grouping:

    • Logical structuring and grouping of information via headers, segment entities, and profiles ensure standardized communication between vehicle sensors and the data fusion unit.
    • Multiplicity and grouping rules define how entities such as FOV segments, health signals, and calibration data are organized and exchanged.
  • Scope Exclusions:

    • The standard excludes the specification of physical (electrical, mechanical) connections and raw sensor data formats, focusing exclusively on logical data structures.

Applications

ISO 23150-20:2026 is applicable across a range of automated driving functions in road vehicles, supporting robust and modular integration of sensor data into fusion units. Typical applications include:

  • Automated and autonomous vehicles: Ensures sensors feed harmonized, reliable, and context-rich data into the vehicle’s decision-making systems.
  • Sensor clusters in Advanced Driver-Assistance Systems (ADAS): Facilitates rapid diagnosis, reconfiguration, or recalibration in the event of faults or changing operational conditions.
  • Modular vehicle platforms: Promotes reuse and interchangeability of sensor modules by standardizing logical interface definitions, improving safety and maintainability.
  • System validation and simulation environments: Enables consistent sensor interface emulation for testing and validation of automated driving platforms.

Related Standards

ISO 23150-20:2026 is part of the broader ISO 23150 series, which standardizes logical interfaces between vehicle sensors and data fusion units. Related standards include:

  • ISO 23150-1:2026 - General information and principles: Lays the foundational specifications for all logical interfaces in the series.
  • ISO 23150-2 - Object level interface: Defines interfaces at the object detection and classification level.
  • Technology-specific parts (ISO 23150-11, 12, 13, 14, 15): Provide detailed interface specifications for different sensor technologies and detection levels.

Practical Value

Implementing ISO 23150-20:2026:

  • Promotes interoperability and scalability in automated driving systems.
  • Reduces integration effort for multi-sensor environments.
  • Increases system safety and reliability through standardized health monitoring and calibration exchange.
  • Supports compliance and future-proofing for manufacturers and suppliers aiming for international market access.

By following this standard, automotive stakeholders can achieve more robust sensor-data communication, simplify functional updates, and speed up development cycles in the fast-evolving landscape of automated vehicles.

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 at
the feature level, advanced detection level and detection level are technology specific and differ for each
technology.
Figure 1 shows the schematic and contextual relationships between the documents relating to logical
interfaces of the ISO 23150 series.

scope of this document
Figure 2 — Interfaces in the scope of this document and the related interfaces of the ISO 23150

This document specifies the additional interfaces for supportive sensor interfaces (SSI) and sensor input
interfaces (SII). These include the supportive sensor interfaces "sensor performance interface" (5.1.1),
"sensor health information interface" (5.2.1) and "sensor calibration interface" (5.3.1) as well as the
sensor input interface "common sensor input interface" (6.1). These interfaces are based on the generic
[1]
specifications of the supportive sensor interface and the sensor input interface in ISO 23150-1 . They can
be supplied by every sensor or sensor cluster. This document references to generic specifications of signals
for the interface header, the generic interface levels and the profiles.
A sensor or sensor cluster may also implement (provide or receive) logical interfaces:
[2]
— on object level (see ISO 23150-2 );
— on feature-, advanced detection- or detection level (see technology specific parts of the ISO 23150 series).
This document is not intended to replace the logical interface specifications of other documents in the
ISO 23150 series.

The data of SSI (see 5.1, 5.2, 5.3) can be required to correctly interpret information from object-, feature-,
advanced detection- and detection level interfaces. Data consistency over the sensor’s interfaces needs to be
assured. Supportive sensor interfaces may have LSGs which the sensor provides. If an SSI is not provided,
[8]
the SSI relevant LSGs will be provided by other interfaces as defined (ISO 23150-1:2026 , B.3.4).
The SII (see Clause 6) provides information and parametrisation for a sensor or a sensor cluster. The sensor
receives the SIIs via the in-vehicle communication. Each SII can be sent to the sensor or sensor cluster by
different ECUs. Also, several ECUs can provide complementary parts of the interface (for example, one ECU
provides weather information, and a second ECU provides road information of the common sensor input
interface). During the system design phase, each received SIIs of a sensor or a sensor cluster and the ECUs
that originate these interfaces are defined. The information source and how the signals are provided are
defined during the system design phase to meet the safety and system design requirements (for example,
that the fusion unit may provide certain SIIs).

The signals referring to angles as well as distances in the segments always refer to the sensor coordinate
system and its origin. This affects the signals:
[8]
— Segment azimuth {begin, end} (ISO 23150-1:2026 , A.2.64);

[8]
— Segment elevation {begin, end} (ISO 23150-1:2026 , A.2.65);
— Measurement grid resolution {radial distance, azimuth, elevation} (A.2.2);
— Detection range radial distance {begin, end} (A.2.11);
— Relative radial velocity range {begin, end} (A.2.19);
— Spatial separability {radial distance, azimuth, elevation} (A.2.20);
— Velocity separability {radial distance, azimuth, elevation} (A.2.21).
The correlation between vehicle- and sensor coordinate system is determined by the sensor origin point and
[8]
the sensor orientation of the sensor [see "Profile: Sensor pose" (ISO 23150-1:2026 , 6.5.5)].
The geometric information of the SSIs references the vehicle coordinate system [see "Profile: Vehicle
[8]
coordinate system" (ISO 23150-1:2026 , 6.5.4)] as well as the sensor coordinate system [see "Profile:
[8]
Sensor pose" (ISO 23150-1:2026 , 6.5.5)].
5.1.2 Sensor performance header
Table 4 defines the interface header for sensor performance information and the changes due to the
adaptation in comparison to the "generic supportive sensor header" as specified in ISO 23150-1:2026, 11.3,
which shall be used as the interface header. The header of the SPI specifies the list of valid FOV segment
entities (see 5.1.3).

5.1.3 Sensor performance entity
Each sensor performance segment for FOV of a sensor shall describe the performance in this segment and
consists of several LSGs.
— Status: the status describes the geometry of the FOV segment.
— Field-of-view reduction causes: the FOV reduction causes describe the causes (for example, extrinsic
or intrinsic) for an FOV reduction.
— Real-world object recognition rates: the real-world object recognition rates describe the estimated
recognition rates for real-world recognition of different real-world objects.
— Reference target recognition rates: the reference target recognition rates describe the estimated
recognition rates for synthetic, well-defined recognition of different synthetic, well-defined objects.
For two valid but geometric overlapping FOV segments (azimuth-, elevation range), the values for the earlier
defined segment in the list will always stay valid. So typically, the segments will be defined from the inside
to the outside (due to timing reasons, special regions of interest are more important than the general FOV
segments and the special regions of interest shall be known to be subtracted from the general FOV segment).

5.1.4 Sensor performance profiles
For SPI, no specific profiles are defined.
5.2 Sensor health information
