European Commission priorities for EDR Step 3 include improving detection of vehicle-to-vulnerable road user collisions and low-severity vehicle-to-vehicle collisions through adjusting delta-v trigger thresholds, developing new jerk-based trigger criteria, and exploring ADS collision detection for EDR triggering in automated vehicles on a long-term timeline. Data elements and format must be ensured to remain up-to-date with new safety system developments and close gaps between light and heavy vehicles through reviewing data elements in light of newly regulated safety systems and mirroring DDAW, ADDW and DCAS data elements from UN R160 to UN R169 on short-term and ongoing timelines.

Proposal based on GRSG/2026/38 to amend para. 2.18. to define end of event time separately for planar events and all other events, amend para. 2.20. to redefine engine throttle percent full, insert new definitions for Advanced emergency braking system (AEBS) and Trigger activated, amend para. 5.4.3. to modify crash test data requirements and reference UN Regulations Nos. 95 and either 94 or 137, and amend Table 1 in Annex 4 to modify data element requirements including changing Air bag warning lamp and other elements from conditional to Mandatory, adding AEBS event recording, modifying Yaw Rate recording intervals and sample rate, clarifying Vulnerable road user secondary safety system warning indicator status recording, modifying Accident emergency call system status recording interval, and revising footnotes regarding TTC calculation and AEBS requirements, effective upon entry into force of the 03 Series of Amendments.

This document presents draft provisions for UN Regulation No. 11 concerning door latches and door retention components. Inspired by justifications in GRSP-79-19 and GRSP-78-48, amendments address vehicles equipped with Automated Driving System features (ADSF-1 and ADSF-2), extending requirements to vehicles of category X while excluding category Y. Key EDO additions include definitions for latch release controls, door handles, power loss, and unlock/unlatch operations. New performance requirements mandate intuitive latch release controls and door handles; power-assisted exterior and interior controls must remain functional for at least 60 minutes after power loss through secondary mechanical means, active secondary power supplies, or fail-safe principles. Annex 7 introduces a power loss test procedure verifying door operability following emergency events, with interior and exterior opening procedures conducted within 10 minutes after 60-minute power disconnection periods.

AI IWG 12th session will be held October 26–27, 2026, at the Zennihon Truck Sogo Kaikan, 3rd Floor, Tokyo. October 26 runs 10:00–17:30 with reception at 18:30; October 27 runs 09:30–17:00. The meeting room opens 9:30 a.m. October 26 and 9:00 a.m. October 27. In-person attendance is limited to the first 50 registrants. Participants must complete the survey by September 25. JASIC staff contact information and accommodation recommendations are provided.

Proposal to amend para. 1.1. to clarify that the Regulation applies to vehicles of categories M₁ and N₁ with respect to latches, door retention components, latch release controls, and door handles to prevent the risk of occupants being thrown from a vehicle and to ensure evacuation at emergency events, insert new paras. 2.30. to 2.36. defining latch release control, door handle, retractable door handle, unlock, unlatch, door opening, and power loss, insert new para. 5.4. establishing exterior and interior door operation requirements, insert new para. 6.4. establishing requirements for latch release controls and door handles to be intuitive and to remain capable of operating after power loss for at least 60 minutes, and insert new Annex 7 establishing a power loss test procedure to verify door opening systems remain functional following an emergency event leading to loss of the vehicle’s ordinary power supply.

RD-ASEP includes technical background and vehicle application guidance for Real Driving Additional Sound Emission Provisions under UN R51.03 Supplement 7 Annex 9 for the mandatory monitoring phase between 07/2023 and 06/2024. RD-ASEP, referenced in GRB-68-03, applies to vehicles of category M₁ and N₁ equipped with internal combustion engines and covers engine speeds up to 95% of typical driving in speed ranges applicable to sub-urban conditions. A Sound Expectation Model predicts vehicle sound levels at randomly selected operation conditions by splitting measured pass-by test results into tyre rolling sound, mechanical no-load sound, and dynamic sound components, using reference values from Annex 3 type approval tests with logarithmic functions and parameter table slopes. Compliance assessment allows measured sound to exceed calculated expected sound by not more than 2 dB for maximum two test runs out of fifteen. Model validation with 2024 monitoring database confirms the tyre rolling sound and power train sound models represent well approved tyres and engines, with less than 5 dB typically separating pass-by run results from the limit.
