Proposal to modify the introductory comments of the LDWS regulation in order to emphasize the focus on highway driving and impracticality of deploying LDWS on certain types of vehicles such as off-road equipment or special purpose vehicles.
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.

6. The expert from OICA, recalling its presentation at the seventy-eighth session of GRRF and the proposed alternatives proposed e.g. in GRRF-78-30 to explore possibilities of exemption for specific vehicle applications (e.g. off-road vehicles), sought for guidance on how to proceed. He explained that with the given texts of Regulations No. 130 and 131, vehicles not benefiting from Advanced Emergency Braking Systems (AEBS) or Lane Departure Warning Systems (LDWS) get individual single approvals, which is costly and time consuming. The expert from FEM explained that in their views mobile cranes vehicles should not be equipped with AEBS or LDWS.
7. GRRF preferred the proposed option to amend the introduction of Regulations Nos. 130 and 131, providing useful information to Contracting Parties applying these Regulations.
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).
6. GRRF adopted ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRRF/2015/17 with the amendments below, 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 1 to Regulation No. 130.
