OICA-CLEPA proposals for amendments to the draft corrective steering/ACSF B1 amendments to UN R79 (revisions to GRRF-82-12/Rev.3 approved at GRRF-82 and subsequently submitted for the March 2017 WP.29 session as WP.29/2017/10).

Proposal for category C automated steering requirements.

Supporting argument in favor of developing provisions for the approval of category C automated steering systems.

OICA concern over the provision whereby a Category B1 system can only be reactivated by a deliberate action of the driver after the system has been switched off. This provision could be problematic should lane-keeping systems become mandatory to the extent that it could be interpreted as meaning that the system cannot be “default-on” after such a manual deactivation.

Corrected version of the presentation delivered in January 2017.

Presentation addressing

• 2 Step Initiation (by two deliberate actions)
• Monitoring to the rear and to the side
• Restriction to a designated infrastructure
• Hands On during lane change manouevre

ACSF informal group working document on requirements for Category C ACSF systems based upon the proposals submitted by Germany and Japan.

Proposal to delete obsolete paragraphs and amend the target completion date for the informal group’s work from September 2017 to September 2018.

Presentation on the detection of the range of a vehicle approaching from behind a vehicle operating under automatically commanded steering (e.g., detection of a fast approaching vehicle in order to avoid a dangerous lane change).

Presentation of technical capabilities and constraints for radar systems.

Proposal of 2.5 seconds for return to original lane after aborted lane change with 48.6-meter rearward sensing range (34.7-meter minimum distance for 2.5 seconds plus one second safety margin).

Presentation of concept for test procedures and performance requirements for the assessment of automated steering as a collision avoidance/mitigation countermeasure.

Results of the April Amsterdam meeting to understand boundary conditions for rearward detection radar systems (essential to Category C lane-change ACSF).

OICA revision of the German/Japan draft text for Category C1 ACSF.

Discussion of requirements for minimum distance from approaching vehicles for a safe automated lane-change maneuver.

Working draft proposal concerning the approval of automated lane-change systems where the automated maneuver is initiated by a deliberate action of the driver (e.g., activation of direction indicator).

Draft proposal for an automated steering function to detect a potential collision and steer the vehicle in order to avoid or mitigate the impact.

Updated information, including new meeting rooms.

Revised proposal based upon document ACSF-12-11.

European Commission responses to document ACSF-13-04.

OICA-CLEPA perspectives on the definition and use of Category C lane-change systems, especially emphasizing the need for human supervision (SAE Level 2 automation).

Japanese proposal for false positive testing of automated emergency steering systems.

Proposal based on document ACSF-12-12.

Diagrams to illustrate Japan’s proposal (ACSF-13-13) for false-positive testing of emergency steering functions.

German proposal concerning performance requirements for rear and side view assistance systems defined as “a system that provides assistance to the driver in monitoring a defined area to the rear and to the side of the ACSF vehicle by the use of means (e.g. Radar, Lidar, Camera) whereby the driver remains in the full responsibility to surveil the traffic behind and beside the ACSF vehicle.”

OICA-CLEPA “homework” input addressing open issues from the previous ACSF informal group session.

Presentation covering

1. Lane change functional test
2. Abort of lane change test
3. Overriding force test
4. Deactivation test
5. Sensor performance test
6. Sensor blindness test (industry proposal)
7. Engine start/run cycle test (three phases)

Proposals concerning capabilities and requirements for ultra-sonic sensors, radar systems, and blind-spot detection and view on HMI and C1-C2 mode confusion issue.

OICA-CLEPA proposals for improvement of the draft text pursuant to open issues from the previous ACSF informal group session.

Following bench testing of steering override force of 50 N, all participants concurred that the 50 N force can be easily handled and therefore is appropriate for all categories of CSF, ACSF, and ESF systems.

Draft proposal for automated lane-change and related functions including open issues for consideration prior to the next ACSF informal group session.

Vehicle manufacturer input concerning override force requirements for automated steering systems, including a proposal for an alternative to fixed limits.

Proposal to specify a light general-purpose street motorcycle without fairings or windscreens having an engine capacity between 400 cm³ and 600 cm³ as the approaching vehicle in the testing of automated lane-change systems under UN R79.

Proposals concerning the draft amendment to introduce emergency steering and automated lane-change functions into UN R79. Document GRRF-84-36 has been formalized as document GRRF/2017/27 for consideration during the special 85th GRRF scheduled to finalize a proposal for automated lane-change systems.

Proposal for draft amendments to UN R79 for the 15th session of the ACSF informal group

Proposal to require that a lane-keeping system used in conjunction with a lane-change system keep the vehicle centered within its lane of travel. The intent is to ensure that the vehicle starts its lane-change maneuver from a position where lateral movement signaling the impending lane change would be more easily detected even before the vehicle crosses into the adjacent lane.

Draft amendment, pursuant to the 15th ACSF informal group session discussions, to introduce provisions for the approval of driver-initiated automated lane-change systems and for Emergency Steering Systems, including proposed amendments from Germany and Japan.

Results of OICA testing of driver reaction times to direction indicator activation and lane-change maneuver.
