OICA opposes introducing a regulatory requirement for horizontal adjustment of passing-beam/driving-beam and for AFS/ADB to the current SLR agenda. The proposal does not contribute to simplification of lighting regulations, no identified safety concern or ambiguity justifies this requirement, and it lacks a formal proposal from a Contracting Party, NGO, or other stakeholder. The SLR group is managing several longstanding unresolved issues, and introducing this topic risks further delaying progress. Harmonized requirements require comprehensive understanding of Periodic Technical Inspection specifications across all Contracting Parties, which are currently unavailable.
Adaptive Driving Beam: A main beam of an AFS that adapts its beam pattern to the presence of oncoming and preceding vehicles in order to improve the long-range visibility for the driver without causing discomfort, distraction or glare to other road users.
Adaptive Front-lighting System: A lighting system providing beams with differing characteristics for automatic adaptation to varying conditions of use of the dipped-beam (passing-beam) and, if it applies, the main-beam (driving-beam)
Non-Governmental Organization: A not-for-profit group, principally independent from government, which is organized on a local, national or international level to address issues in support of the public good.
