Information document submitted by the informal group on Complex Electronic Systems concerning work on clarifying Annex 6 of UN R79, especially with regard to the assessment of automated steering systems. A revision to paper, based upon a further meeting of the informal group, will be provided to GRRF-84. Please note that the phrase “Amend paragraph 5.1.10., to read:” should read “Amend paragraph 5.1.11”.

Proposal for extend the current mandate of the informal group until September 2018.

Draft amendment to UN R79, including provisions for emergency steering functions (ESF), Category C[1] ACSF for lane-change maneuvers, and updating of Complex Electronic Systems (CEL) Annex 6 provisions. This document was prepared during the 84th GRRF session for consideration during the special 85th GRRF scheduled to finalize a proposal for automated lane-change systems.

Revised proposal, as approved during the 84th GRRF session, to enable activation of the ESC optical symbol in cases of a corrective steering function intervention when the CSF intervention is activated under the control of an ESC system. The aim is to avoid separate requirements for brake-actuated and steering-actuated vehicle stability functions (VSF) that would lead to two optical warnings where only one is necessary. This would enable use of the ESC intervention tell-tale for CSF steering intervention.

Proposal to introduce provisions for driver-initiated automated lane-change systems (Category C ASCF) and for automated emergency steering functions (ESF).
