Proposal for New MME Header Field - Data Source Type
Posted: Tue May 12, 2026 10:53 pm
Dear colleagues,
As discussed in the meeting of today, I would like to propose adding a new field to the MME header to identify the data source type:
Type of data source: <Simulation | Hardware>
Rationale:
Euro NCAP is proposing a similar field in their data formats to distinguish between simulation-based tests and physical tests. Incorporating this into MME would:
Improve data traceability and interpretation
Align with evolving industry standards
Support mixed virtual/physical testing workflows
This would be a simple addition with broad applicability across all MME-based test data.
I welcome your feedback on this proposal.
Best regards,
Miguel Ángel Gallego
