The document describes an ACPE system for judging pedal misapplication from driver accelerator pedal operation and vehicle motion without object detection sensors, and suppresses sudden acceleration. The system performs pedal error checks to determine whether sudden accelerator operation may be pedal misapplication, non-operation checks to verify whether the scene involves intended acceleration, and suppresses acceleration if steps determine pedal error. The system does not activate during intended acceleration in hard-to-distinguish scenes including turning, changing lanes, starting at stop signs or signal lights, and steep uphill driving. False positive activation depends on driver maneuver; measures applied in Japan include offering the system as an option, restricting access to dedicated key users only, and explaining possible false positive activation at point of sale.
The IWG on ACPE shall review UN Regulations on ACPE, modify them if necessary, add provisions for a new draft UN GTR on ACPE, and prepare a draft UN GTR on ACPE for submission to GRVA for adoption. The text shall be performance based and technology neutral. The IWG will be managed by three Co-Chairs (Japan, Germany, and Canada) and a Secretary (OICA), report to GRVA, remain open to all WP.29 participants, conduct work in English, and reach decisions by consensus. The IWG will deliver a new UN GTR on ACPE for the September 2028 session of GRVA, with adoption expected at WP.29’s 206th session in March 2029.
The agenda includes discussion of research outcomes and possible conclusions, other business, and list of action items and next meetings. The next meeting is scheduled for 12-14 January 2027 in Japan with 15 January 2027 for leadership to prepare report for GRVA.
Document presents proposed text for Emergency Door Opening requirements to be discussed by Canada and Korea at the next EDO meeting. Proposals address owner’s manual provisions requiring detailed information on door opening and confirmation that the door opening system is intuitive and door handles are readily identifiable; secondary power supply requirements for latch release controls with warnings of failure; intuitiveness of latch release controls and door handles; replacement of the term ‘close vicinity’ with objective boundary criteria within the perimeter of the door frame; and inadvertent operation provisions for side doors with front-mounted hinges requiring interior door handles to be inoperative at vehicle speeds of 4 km/h or greater and provision of door closure warning systems.
Proposal for an updated justification section.
Proposal from the EDO task force on “unlocking” to amend the working draft for the 05 series (EDO-Intermediate-03-02).
