SAE J 3292:2026-04-12

The scope of this standard is Automated Vehicle Marshalling (AVM) of vehicles to enable remote control functionality for achieving SAE Level 4 (High Driving Automation according to the Surface Vehicle Recommended Practice SAE J3016) driving capabilities at controlled speeds within geofenced private controlled environments utilizing infrastructure-assisted sensing. It specifies a concept of operations which includes a reference-system architecture and use cases, system functional and performance requirements, multiple wireless communications protocols, and associated wireless messages to support AVM. AVM use cases such as plant marshalling, depot marshalling, valet parking, electric vehicle charging, etc. The Automated Vehicle Marshalling Central Server (AVM CS) infrastructure does detect objects, vehicles, vulnerable road users, and any obstructions that help guide the Automated Vehicle (AV) starting from uninitiated, activation, identification, automated control, unavailable and deactivation states of the respective feature lifecycle of AVM use cases by using only two wireless messages named Infrastructure Marshalling Message (IMM) and Vehicle Marshalling Message (VMM). This standard specifies the minimum requirements for the Vehicle-to-Everything (V2X) messages, such as IMM and VMM, and the corresponding data frames and elements which are defined to support Infrastructure guided AVM use cases over Direct (LTE-V2X) and Network-based wireless communications technologies. These messages are utilized to achieve desired interoperability, safety, and data integrity. This standard focuses on an infrastructure-led implementation of an AVM system analogue to a Type 2 Automated Vehicle Parking (AVP) system implementation as described in International Organization for Standardization (ISO) 23374-1; the functional allocations listed below are part of the Type 2 AVP System where AVM CS of infrastructure carries out most of the operation functions including AV Identification and Emergency Stopping: Destination Assignment Route Planning Object and Event Detection and Response (OEDR) AV Localization Path Determination Trajectory Calculation Vehicle Motion Control (VMC) NOTE 1:Functional Safety rating Automotive Safety Integrity Level (ASIL) related requirements are outside the scope of this standard.NOTE 2:This standard could be utilized as a base for human operator assisted AVM. The implementation details from human operator assistance without Infrastructure assistance is outside the scope of this standard.NOTE 3:Unless otherwise marked as Informative, all material in this standard is to be considered normative.
