Proposal to add a trigger threshold requirement and to modify the sampling rate, deceleration limit and data selection criteria for category B brake-assist systems.

UN R13 allows for the exemption of certain vehicles from the requirement for electronic stability controls. This proposal seeks to clarify the scope of the exemptions to include any special purpose vehicle with a non-standard chassis. The change was prompted by a modified vehicle where use of ESC was not feasible, but where the current UN R13 language left doubt as to whether the ESC requirement was applicable.

The previous GRRF session considered a proposal to add a trigger threshold requirement and to modify the sampling rate, deceleration limit and data selection criteria for category B brake-assist systems. CLEPA has provided this presentation to clarify the background behind the BAS provisions and facilitate further discussion.
