26. The expert from Japan introduced ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRSG/2013/5 and its Corr.1 proposing to increase the safety benefits of the driver’s field of vision and the pedestrian safety in narrow streets. The expert from OICA requested details on the formula used for the range of a blind area. The expert from Japan presented their concept of obstacles aiming at improving the driver’s vision of pedestrian or other vulnerable road user approaching the vehicle (GRSG-104-45). He also presented the results of a study on this subject (GRSG-104-46). GRSG welcomed the initiative by Japan and noted a number of comments. The experts from EC, France and Germany raised a study reservation on the proposed amendments.

27. GRSG agreed to resume consideration on this subject at its next session in October 2013 on the basis of a revised document by Japan, if available, or to keep otherwise ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRSG/2013/5 on the agenda as a reference document.
