Document addresses the Rear-End Collision Alert Signal (RECAS) in UN R48. It identifies unclear speed thresholds for RECAS activation, noting that RECAS may not operate when vehicles are stationary or moving at low speeds depending on system design. Accident data analysis shows 59 percent of rear-end crashes involved stopped lead vehicles and 22 percent involved decelerating lead vehicles. The document requests views on whether RECAS should flash when vehicles are completely stopped, whether owner manuals should state RECAS activation limitations, and seeks information on RECAS verification during type approval.
