Vehicle manufacturers are currently implementing AEBS on a large variety of models, e.g. to fulfil mandatory requirements of some Contracting Parties. This implementation work confirms the concerns which were brought up for discussion during the AEBS/LDWS informal group activities and sheds light on a number of technical issues that appeared when installing obstacle detection devices on some specific vehicles, in particular in case of huge technical diversity and where the vehicle environment can have negative impact on system reliability and on its ability to operate. This proposal would alter the regulation scope to exempt such vehicles from mandatory compliance.
5. The expert from OICA, recalling his presentation at the seventy-ninth session of GRRF introduced ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRRF/2015/17 and ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRRF /2015/18 proposing useful information to Contracting Parties applying Regulations Nos. 130 and 131 regarding the application of these regulations for specific categories of vehicles. GRRF received the presentation by the expert of CLEPA (GRRF-80-23).
7. GRRF adopted ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRRF/2015/18 as amended by Annex II (based on GRRF-80-30) and requested the secretariat to submit the proposal (together with ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRRF/2013/13) to WP.29 and AC.1 for consideration at their March 2016 sessions, as Supplement 2 to the 01 series of amendments to Regulation No. 131.
5. The expert from OICA introduced GRRF-78-30, GRRF-78-32, GRRF-78-33, GRRF-78-34, GRRF-78-35, GRRF-78-36 and GRRF-78-37. The documents presented two sets of proposals amending the introduction and scope of UN Regulations Nos. 130 and 131 exploring possibilities of exemption for specific vehicle applications (e.g. off-road vehicles).
6. Several Contracting Parties (CPs) expressed extensive concerns on these proposals. The expert from OICA expressed his intention to develop other options for consideration at the seventy-ninth GRRF session.
