“Acceptance of current Pedestrian warning systems (AVAS) in Swiss Population” report including a summary in English.

Decision to allow 50km/h urban roads vs 30km/h roads.

“Assessment framework 30 km/h” report in Dutch.

The text reproduced below was prepared by the experts from OICA in order to address the original intent of the Task Force on Quiet Road Transport Vehicles (TF QRTV). This proposes to expand the speed range of ASEP forBEVs down to speeds > 0 km/h.

EC counter-proposal on the introduction of EVs in the scope of ASEP

IWG RD-ASEP has two parts:
A) RD-ASEP for UN-R51, to develop a mandatory procedure after the
monitoring phase
B) RD-ASEP for UN-R41: ASEP second step, to develop stricter ASEP limit
curves

Technical Background Information to Supplement 11 to UN R51.03

Proposal for corrections and clarifications concerning power definition, calibration, temperature correction and Reference sound assessment.

Some corrections and clarifications concerning power definition, calibration, temperature correction and Reference sound assessment

In introducing ASEP in Annex 7 in 2016, the scope was limited to vehicles with internal combustion engines (ICE) based on the experience of variabilities in the exhaust silencing systems. Electric driven vehicles have been exempted from ASEP. For electric driven vehicles the new UN Regulation No. 138, dealing with the reduced audibility of these vehicles, was worked out until 2017. At that moment no one expected sound enhancement systems beyond the scope and aim of UN R138.

This proposal is an approach to address the concern that electric vehicles might be equipped with sound enhancement systems beyond the scope and aim of UN R138. This proposal does not require any changes to UN R138.01. This proposal is given as a supplement to enable the quickest entry into force, providing all manufacturers clear direction on the design of sound enhancement systems.
