Revised version of the proposal in document GRE-82-25.

Discussion of uncertainties of headlamp aiming systems.

Japan proposal for the SLR ad hoc session on headlamp leveling.

This document is also available in German.

The IWG-VGL group proposed that the CoP requirements would be the same as for the type-approval. Therefore, Poland will not support the proposal to extend them by another 0.4%.

This proposal base on document GRE/2019/20 and is an alternative to document GRE/2019/14.
Currently, UN Regulation No. 48 does not allow the manual switching off all lighting devices under all circumstances. This feature is necessary for armed services and forces responsible for maintaining public order and is requested by them. It is limited only to vehicles intended for use by the armed services and forces responsible for maintaining public order. This proposal aims to reduce disadvantages and can increase safety.

Proposal concerning the conditions under which the vehicles may circulate with the dipped beam headlamps switched OFF from the SLR informal group to based on document ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRE/2019/03 taking into account the agreed modifications to the diagram introduced with GRE-81-21 (see ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRE/81, Annex II).

Proposal to amend the transitional provisions.

Proposal for changes to the draft provisions to define switching conditions for dipped beam and daytime running lamps (DRL) and the variable intensity of rear lamps in conjunction with traffic conditions.

Japan basically agrees with the proposal made by Germany but considers that certain points need clarification.

Proposal to improve the proposal submitted by the experts from France and Germany to allow under specified conditions the use of manufacturer logos inside the illuminant surface of a signalling lamp.

Proposal to clarify the conditions under which the vehicles may circulate with the dipped beam headlamps switched OFF.

Proposal to clarify the transitional provisions for the mandatory use of Emergency Stop Signal (ESS).

Comparison of adaptive driving beam provisions between the current UN Regulation No. 48 and the proposal for amendments to UN Regulation No. 53 (GRE-82-13).

Proposal of corrections to the original document from the group of interested experts.

Proposal to align UN R48 with provisions in UN R4 by introducing parameters for luminance levels, maximum gradient value, angles of visibility and light incidence angle which are necessary to determine the geometric position of devices in relation to the rear registration plate.

The proposal opens the opportunity to project driver assistance symbols on the road ahead the vehicle as part of the Adaptive Driving Beam by introducing angular limits for the placement of these projections as well as luminous intensity limits in order to guarantee a good perceptibility of the symbols for the driver at night time without distracting other road users.

Proposal to correct and clarify the requirements for daytime running lamps (DRL) in conjunction with rear position lamps and to introduce requirements for light emitting diode (LED) substitute light sources.

Proposal by a GRE Special Interest Group to define switching conditions for dipped beam and daytime running lamps (DRL) and the variable intensity of rear lamps in conjunction with traffic conditions.

Proposal to allow the manual switching off all lighting devices in all circumstances for vehicles intended for use by the armed services and forces responsible for maintaining public order.

Proposal to allow the use of logos inside the illuminating surface of a signalling lamp under certain conditions.

Proposal from a GRE Special Interest Group on the 07 series of amendments to UN R48 to clarify the definitions of “switching” and “activation” and to introduce the mandatory use of Emergency Stop Signal (ESS) to align UN R48 with the General Safety Regulation of the European Union.

Proposal to introduce requirements for testing the sun load impact, which can delay the perception of a signal in such a way that it may became a serious safety issue, if the sun load impact goes above a defined ratio.

Comments in response to document SLR-28-03.

Updated headlamp aiming diagram in the proposal for a new 07 series of amendments to UN R48 as agreed during the April 2019 GRE session.

Proposal for changes to the discussion document presenting potential new requirements for headlamp levelling, in particular regarding the vertical inclination in relation to the dipped-beam headlamp mounting height.

Supporting data justifying the headlamp aiming and cut-off points diagrammed in the proposal for a new series of amendments (GRE-81-13).

Updated proposal, superseding document GRE/2019/11, to:

1. update requirements for headlamps and daytime running lamps related to headlamp switching. In particular, the proposed 07 series of amendments aims to clarify electrical connection requirements, conditions for manual switching OFF of headlamps, and new definitions for switching ON/OFF and for activating/deactivating lamps;
2. introduce technical parameters for speed and vehicle distance, allowing reduced intensity at speeds lower than 20 km/h, in order to encourage reduced glaring effects from rear signaling lamps;
3. introduce references to the three new simplified lighting Regulations (Light-Signalling Devices (LSD), Road Illumination Devices (RID) and Retro-Reflective Devices (RRD)).

• Paragraph 5.26 contains the two proposed alternatives from France
• Paragraph 5.26.2. contains the proposals from Czech Republic and GTB
• Paragraph 6.2.7.5.1. contains 3 alternatives for subparagraph (d)
• Paragraph 6.19.7.6. (new) contains the proposal from OICA because of the replacement of “may” by “shall”
• Paragraph 12.6 contains the OICA proposed changes of the Transitional Provisions, linked to ESS introduction.

Recap of the conclusions regarding visibility and glare in terms of performance-oriented lighting criteria from the SLR-27 discussions.

Proposal to introduce provisions:

1. For vehicles intended for use by the armed services and forces responsible for maintaining public order: the manual switching off of all lighting devices in all circumstances;
2. In the absence of a “vehicle door assistance and warning system”: the mandatory application of the hazard warning lights to reduce the safety risks in the case a door is opened to the traffic side.

Proposal to allow under specified conditions the use of logos inside the illuminating surface of a signalling lamp.

Proposal to correct and clarify the requirements for daytime running lamps (DRL) in conjunction with rear position lamps.

Proposal to clarify the requirements of paragraph 5.26. for the variable luminous intensity of four different light signaling functions: rear direction indicator lamps of category 2b, rear position lamps of category R2, stop lamps of category S2,and rear fog lamps of category F2. The intent is to ensure that all the lamps maintain their proportionate relationships throughout the transitions in luminosity.

vary all together proportionally.

Proposal (submitted for the March 2019 WP.29 session) to introduce references to the three new simplified lighting Regulations (Light-Signalling Devices (LSD), Road Illumination Devices (RID) and Retro-Reflective Devices (RRD)) into the 06 series of Regulation No. 48.

Revised proposal (for the March 2018 WP.29 session) to introduce references to the three new simplified Regulations (Light-Signalling Devices (LSD), Road Illumination Devices (RID) and Retro-Reflective Devices (RRD)) into the 05 series of Regulation No. 48.
