Proposal to establish uniform provisions for approval of automated driving system (ADS) marker lamps for power-driven vehicles and their trailers, and approval of vehicles with regard to installation of such lamps. The regulation covers component approval requirements including technical specifications, photometric and colorimetric characteristics, light distribution, marking, and conformity of production procedures for Part I; and vehicle type approval requirements including application procedures, general and individual specifications for lamp installation, positioning, geometric visibility, electrical connections, and conformity procedures for Part II.

Discussion paper presenting a proposal for technical requirements for an Automated Driving System marker lamp to improve social acceptance and facilitate traffic management and enforcement. The proposal addresses installation position (mandatory front and rear, optional side), visibility angle equivalent to direction-indicators, luminous intensity variation (continuous illumination without flashing, except nighttime dimming), combined use with direction-indicators (ADS marker lamp turned off when direction-indicator operates on same side), and applicable vehicle categories (M, N, L₆, L₇, and O when towed by automated driving vehicle). Survey results from Japan, UK, US, and Germany indicate approximately 70% of respondents support distinguishing automated from manual driving modes externally.

Status report on development of a hybrid regulation for ADS marker lamps. The task force has developed a largely completed document specifying lighting performance, installation conditions, and approval procedures for ADS marker lamps on motor vehicles of categories M, N, O, L₆ and L₇. The report identifies items requiring guidance from GRE including marking legibility requirements, lamp placement specifications, geometric visibility angles, substitution of UN R48 lighting functions, mandatory and optional lamp presence by position, and electrical connection requirements for lamp operation and interaction with direction indicator and stop lamps.
