Document Title Proposal for Supplement 02 to the 01 series of amendments to Regulation No. 131
Reference Number GRRF-76-17/Rev.1
Date
24 Feb 2014
Summary Proposal to include a footnote in the scope of the regulation alerting type approval authorities to the possibility for exemptions to the automatic emergency braking systems requirements based upon reasonable technical feasibility, cost/benefit, and/or other evidence. The broad notion is that AEBS is intended to prevent accidents due to inattention while driving long distances, especially on highways. Therefore, vehicles designed for purposes not given to such monotonous long-distance travel should, under this proposal, logically be exempted on a case-by-case basis from AEBS requirements.

Excerpts from session reports related to this document
GRRF | Session 76 | 17-21 Feb 2014

5. The expert from OICA introduced GRRF-76-15, GRRF-76-16 and GRRF-76-17-Rev.1 proposing to insert a footnote in the scope of the original version of Regulation No. 131, the 01 series of amendments to Regulation No. 131 and Regulation No. 130, containing guidance or recommendations to the Contracting Parties applying these Regulations for potential exemptions.

6. Several Contracting Parties (CPs), felt that guidance could be useful; however others felt that it would not be appropriate to use a regulation to advise Contracting Parties on policy considerations. OICA agreed to consider other options for consideration by GRRF.
