Structure of Raw Data
Messages received from the raw data subscription are referred to as batches. Each batch contains one or more vehicle data frames. A frame, in turn, consists of one or more messages, which may include sensor data from GPS and IMU sources, as well as raw CAN bus messages.
Data Frames
A data batch contains one or more vehicle data frame a vehicle data frame has the following format:
| Field name | Type | Offset | Length | Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| header | byte | 0 | 1 | ASCII character 'F', indicating the beginning of the frame |
| version | byte | 1 | 1 | Data frame version identifier (currently must be 0x01) |
| vehicle_id | byte array | 2 | 16 | Unique vehicle identifier (GUID) |
| data_length | int | 18 | 4 | Length of the data payload |
| data | byte array | 22 | n | Data payload containing the messages |
Messages
The vehicle data frames contains messages. There are three different data message types:
- GPS
- IMU
- CAN
Special message types:
- Session start
- Packet RTC time
General structure of the messages:
| Field name | Type | Offset | Length | Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| type | byte | 0 | 1 | Message type |
| length | byte | 1 | 1 | Message length (size of the timestamp and data fields) |
| data | byte array | 6 | n | Message data |
