Proposal to clarify the need to have a support device for centre axle trailers, independent of the type of coupling device.

Proposal to define a Subsection Frontal Visible Volume within the area of greatest risk with the aim of ensuring that VRUs directly in front of the vehicle cannot be in a blind spot between direct vision and indirect vision.

Proposal from the VRU-Proxi informal group to amend provisions concerning “temporarily modified view” for “automatic change of view” and deletion of related provisions under “deactivation” in order to allow systems providing enhanced visibility during manoeuvres. Additional proposal to permit temporary obstruction of view subject to conditions.

Proposal from the VRU-Proxi informal group to introduce an alternative method for assessment of the frontal visible volume to address future cab designs with narrower distances between A pillars. The current measurement method is dependent on the position of the A pillar. The alternative method is independent of the cab design and would be available for use at the manufacturer’s discretion.

Proposal submitted by Germany on behalf of the GRSG task force on UN R46 to address surveillance cameras/mirrors under UN R26 (while removing related provisions from UN R46 on indirect vision).

Proposal from the GRSG task force on UN R46 to

• clarify the diameter of the impact test rig,
• introduce provisions for centre-steered vehicles and corresponding magnification factors and for frameless outside mirrors,
• clarify the possibility of having foldable camera wings,
• exclude Class I CMS camera (mounted on the roof of the vehicle) from the impact test,
• clarify impact positions for the pendulum test,
• remove provisions for surveillance cameras (to be covered under UN R26 and UN R61),
• replace references to “mirror” with “indirect vision device”,
• clarify markings for devices capable of displaying more than one field of vision, and
• clarify positioning of pure Class I CMS.
