Agenda Item 4.
Awareness of the Proximity of Vulnerable Road Users

11. The expert from the European Commission, on behalf of the IWG on awareness of Vulnerable Road Users Proximity in low-speed manoeuvres (VRU-Proxi), informed GRSG of the work progress (GRSG-124-37). He added that the group had convened twice (in May and July 2022) to discuss improvement of UN Regulation No. 158 on the temporary obstruction of the monitor view. Phase 2 of the draft UN Regulation on Direct Vision was also discussed and IWG noted that vehicles powered by electric battery or hydrogen data were not yet available for an assessment of the level of adaptation that would be needed. Information and data on direct vision for high-capacity transport would be provided at the next session of IWG to support adaptation. He said that a contracting party had prepared a draft new UN Regulation for a highly automated system to take over control from the driver if a VRU danger was detected.
