Provisional agenda for the first session of the Informal Working Group on Prioritization. The IWG will adopt its agenda, review context from WP.29-199 including the inception report, discuss draft terms of reference distinguishing final objectives such as improvements in safety, emissions, and security from proposed means to achieve them, consider reference documentation from WP.29 and related agreements, discuss prioritization by consolidating a numbered list of all Global Technical Regulation priorities for ranking by WP.29 members to identify common agreement and potential work items to pause, decide on a list of actions with assigned tasks and deadlines, and schedule the next meeting.
Final draft proposal to amend para. 1.4. to clarify that recording requirements depend on availability of the trigger or data element itself, amend para. 5.3.1.2. to permit the EDR to write last stop trigger data in volatile memory only, accommodating at least five most recent stops to be overwritten on a first-in first-out basis until any other trigger occurs or the vehicle master control switch is deactivated, and amend paras. 2.5., 2.48. and 2.49. for clarity and consistency with UN Regulation No. 160.
Final draft proposal to:
Provisional agenda for the twelfth meeting of the IWG on EV/HFCV-RS to be held on 28 September 2026. The agenda covers adoption of the agenda, approval of minutes from the previous meeting, coordination and organization of work, power determination and battery range, UN draft documents, and any other business, with the next meeting scheduled for 8 October 2026.
Presentation of traffic accident data for car-to-pedestrian collisions occurring at night in Japan. Approximately 65 to 70 per cent of traffic accidents for car to pedestrian in Japan occur at night-time. The data cover the 10-year period from 2015 to 2024 and analyse obstruction, pedestrian direction of crossing, collision point, walking speed, and age. Seventy per cent of pedestrians cross from the right at night. Accidents involving children aged 12 and under are extremely rare. Vehicle speeds range from 30 km/h to 60 km/h without obstruction and 40 km/h to 50 km/h with obstruction. The proportion of passenger cars equipped with AEBS night-time is approximately half.
Japan presents the current status of Advanced Emergency Braking System (AEBS) testing for passenger vehicles in night-time conditions under the Japan New Car Assessment Program (JNCAP). The document describes test procedures for car-to-pedestrian scenarios, including car-to-pedestrian farside (CPF) and car-to-pedestrian farside obstructed (CPFO) scenarios, conducted with and without street lighting. Test speeds range from 30 to 60 km/h. Test conditions specify tolerances for vehicle velocity, pedestrian target velocity, lateral position, collision point, yaw rate, steering angular velocity, and braking temperature.
Draft agenda for the Informal working group on Advanced Emergency Braking System meeting 24–25 September 2026. Welcome and Introduction. Approval of the agenda and previous meeting report (AEBS2-02-03). Confirmation of TOR of this informal working group (document GRVA-24-14/Rev.2). Accidentology: share accident data from other CP. Review of existing regulation, technologies and state of the art. Draft state-of-the-art performance requirements for collision scenarios involving pedestrians at night. Other business. List of action items and next meetings. 4th IWG: 2–4 November 2026 in Tokyo.
Minutes of the 48th SG-EDR conference call meeting held 15-16 September 2026. The group conducted final review of official documents for UN R160 and UN R169, reaching agreement on multiple technical specifications: DDAW recording duration of 60 minutes (bracketed for GRSG consideration), DCAS duration of 1000 seconds and 10 warnings, LDWS and data element frequencies of 4 Hz and 10 Hz respectively, yaw rate frequency increased to 10 Hz, and airbag warning lamp adjustments. Transitional provisions set for 2030 and 2035. EDR Step 3 workstream planning identified topics including triggering sensitivity, data elements, L-category vehicles, and data survivability. Governance discussion noted DSSAD separation under IWG ADS2, with EDR work continuing under potential new taskforce structure.
