GRPE-94-38
GRPE AVRS task force status report to GRPE

TF-AVRS screened UN Regulations for automated vehicle application, focusing on UN R83 and UN R154. Changes enable automated driving system vehicles to perform driver-conducted tests like coast-down tests and roller bench cycles. Modifications include defining vehicle users as drivers or ADS users, adjusting driver mass calculations for X and Y categories, and updating testing mode terminology. TF-AVRS proposes amendments to 17 UN Regulations and seeks guidance on addressing remaining topics.
