Drowsiness/Distraction Warning Systems: Minutes of the 10th (October 2026) session
Reference Number: DDADWS-10-16/Rev.1

Meeting report documenting discussions on proposed amendments to the driver drowsiness alert warning (DDAW) system regulation. Topics addressed include: clarification of warning acknowledgement and continued monitoring; mandatory microsleep detection as a distinct safety-critical event; expanded operating conditions for system effectiveness; interaction between DDAW and Driver Control Assistance Systems (DCAS); system performance under driver occlusions such as eyewear; drowsiness warning thresholds and advisory information; false negative event classification methodology; test participant selection and validation procedures; specificity and positive predictive value as performance metrics; and Observer Rated Drowsiness (ORD) as an alternative to KSS measurement. The IWG discussed these proposals to inform development of a 01 series of amendments to UN Regulation No. 182.

Submitted by: DDADWS
Meeting Sessions: 10th DDADWS session (5-7 Oct)
Document date: 23 Oct 26
Relevant to: UN Regulation No. 171 | Driver-Control Assistance Systems (DCAS) and UN Regulation No. 182 | Driver Drowsiness and Attention Warning Systems

Comparison of RD-ASEP with NExUS Results
Reference Number: TFVS-23-06/Rev.1

Presentation comparing results of Switzerland’s NExUS study on electric vehicles and internal combustion engine vehicles with RD-ASEP Sound Expectation Model predictions. NExUS study objective was to compare EVs with ICE vehicles of the same consumer segment to better understand EV modelling. Key findings show overall sound levels of EVs and modern ICEs are close under constant speed, while ICE sound is higher under low-speed acceleration. RD-ASEP SEM predictions align closely with NExUS measurements for both accelerated and constant speed conditions.

EqOP Frontal Impact Workshop: Agenda for the 1st (November 2026) session
Reference Number: EqOP-WS-FI/2026/1/Rev.4

The workshop on frontal impact assessment in Tokyo, 4-6 November 2026, will address robustness, defined as the vehicle’s ability to protect occupants of varying body height, weight, shape, and seating position in real-world relevant collisions by maintaining structural integrity and effective safety systems so that the risk of injury is minimized for all types of people. The agenda includes review of relevant regulations, clarification of roles of ATDs and HBMs, and conceptual ideas for future regulatory upgrades addressing brain injury, soft tissue neck injury, lower leg injury, thorax injury, submarining, abdominal loading, and lower severity collisions. The workshop will develop an HBM-based robustness assessment matrix to complement current ATD-based requirements.
