Lane Keeping Assist System Ad Hoc Group | Session 1 | 19-20 Nov 2013
Paris
Agenda Item 9.
Next steps

The Chair raised the question of a further meeting: the objective of the next meeting would be to check the list of items not covered by UN R79, identifying which are of importance to safety and assessing whether amending UN R79 is relevant.

Japan committed to prepare for a next meeting a recollection of the important items of the document LKAS-01-05, together with the relevant amendments for UN R79.

The Netherlands said that GRRF could not do fruitful action with a document available at such a short notice. The expert suggested that no further meeting take place before the next GRRF session, rather a report on the outcomes of this meeting.

It was suggested to establish a written report 3 weeks before GRRF session, taking into account the Industry point of view via email exchange during the month of January.

Japan was ready to wait for the results of the discussions with all ad hoc group members, then make a decision. Japan clarified that there is no obligation to report back to GRRF, yet Japan was keen not to delay input to GRRF. However Japan favoured holding a 2nd meeting before the next session of GRRF.

After discussions, Japan agreed to aim the September GRRF session.

    Conclusion:
  • Report to be delivered to GRRF by end of January.
  • In the meantime, email discussion for having a consolidated report containing the positions of all parties.
  • No second meeting before February session of GRRF.
