Proposal to increase the usability and safety of the ELKS and to align the technical requirements with technological progress:
Ensure that an ELKS is not adversely affected by magnetic or electrical fields
Clarify when the system shall automatically deactivate to prevent unintended consequences, which should be at least detailed in the vehicle’s operating instructions as a minimum
Include dashed lane markings for CDCF and road edges for ELKS, ensuring all systems fitted meet the highest safety standards and utilise the latest technology to prevent unintended lane departures 1
Include the latest lane markings located in Annex 3 to UN Regulation 130. This is important as the 01 series of amendments to UN Regulation 130
includes Australian lane markings, ensuring compatibility
Eliminate the option for an acoustic warning for LDWS to reduce confusion with the CDCF intervention acoustic warning required in paragraph 6.6.4.
Correct minor grammatical errors
Enhance usability by establishing system response limits, where recent research has highlighted the prevalence of consumers turning these lifesaving systems off
GRVA agreed to resume consideration of the proposal for a new 01 series of amendments to UN Regulation No. 178 (Emergency Lane Keeping System (ELKS)) tabled by the expert from Australia.
