This proposal is presented by the Chair of the Lane Keeping Assistance System (LKAS) adhoc group in order to improve the wording of document ECE/TRANS/WP.29 /GRRF/2015/2, and to resolve pending questions with regard to the warning provision. The group was not able to achieve consensus on the application dates of the amendments (wording remaining in square brackets).

Updated proposal to delete provisions for electronic stability and brake-assist systems from UN R13-H as part of their transposition into new stand-alone regulations. This proposal supersedes document GRRF/2014/10.

Amendments to clarify and improve the text of the new regulation that would remove BAS provisions from UN R13-H.

Clarifications and improvements to the draft new regulation that removes ESC provisions from UN R13-H, including deletion of the “complex electronic systems” (CEL) annex and replacement with reference to compliance with the relevant safety provisions of UN R13-H.

A new regulation on tire installation has been prepared for use within the International Whole Vehicle Type Approval system. Pursuant to discussions among stakeholders, this proposal amends the scope of the draft regulation (especially in order to avoid redundant approval requirements across regulations) and clarifies the run-flat tyre requirements.

Proposal to remove tire-pressure monitoring provisions from UN R64 to enable the use of UN R64 within the International Whole Vehicle Type Approval system.

Revised text proposing a stand-alone TPMS regulation based upon the provisions currently in UN R64.

Editorial correction to the proposal (document GRRF/2014/23/Rev.1) by Italy to introduce requirements for the approval of replacement brake discs for L-category (motorcycle and related) vehicles.

Proposal to require proof of electromagnetic compatibility through compliance with UN R10 or any other equivalent test as may be agreed between the manufacturer and test service.

Amendments to the proposal by Italy to introduce requirements for the approval of replacement brake discs for L-category (motorcycle and related) vehicles.

Information on the mandatory installation of advanced brake systems for motorcycles and of Lane Departure Warning Systems for heavy-duty vehicles.

Proposal to add remote-controlled parking to the annex on guidelines for advanced driver assistance systems.

Proposal to include three-wheeled category l vehicles within the scope of ABS testing under UN R78. This would align the scope with EU Directive 93/14/EEC.

Presently, it is not fully clear whether an anti-lock braking system (ABS) switch-off or altering mode is permitted on L-category vehicles, whereas it is clearly not allowed on other vehicle categories. This proposal is aimed at ensuring a consistent approach for all motor-vehicles equipped with anti-lock braking systems, including specific exemptions for certain off-road vehicles as incorporated in UN Regulation No. 13.

Proposal for an alternative to the proposal (document GRRF/2015/9) to restore transitional provisions incorrectly deleted by Supplement 6 to the 02 series of amendments.

This document represents the result of analysis of the existing (document GRRF/2015/12) and newly introduced (GRRF-79-09) transitional provisions concerning the separation of tire-pressure monitoring systems from UN R64.

Amendment to specify the connector through which electrical energy is supplied in the proposal to remove certain design restrictions that impede the application of new technologies, especially related to trailer power steering systems and the use of energy from the towing vehicle.

Workshop Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS): “Towards a new transportation culture: technology innovations for safe, efficient and sustainable mobility”, 17 – 18 November 2014, Brussels

Proposal to develop regulatory provisions that would enable the approval of automated steering systems (i.e., systems that control vehicle lateral movement) that operate at speeds higher than 10 km/h. The proposal originates from discussions on lane-keeping assistance systems and on automated driving.

Status report, including the current state of the draft text, on efforts to reach agreement on the introduction of provisions for electro-hydraulic systems into the test conditions for trailers with electrical braking systems.

Review of items from the November 2014 World Forum session of relevance to the Working Party on Brakes and Running Gear.

Proposal to include material characteristics of the tire tread in the technical requirements since the definition of “snow tyre for use in severe snow conditions” refers both to tread compound and tread pattern.

Status of ITS/AD Informal Group consideration of guidance for WP.29 working parties on the regulation of automated driving technologies, especially concerning automatically commanded steering under UN R79.

This proposal aims to align the UN Regulation 106 with international standards (ETRTO, T&RA and ISO 4351-2 table 2). This proposal will also avoid any possible misunderstanding for the application of the EC Regulation 167/2013 that refers to UN R106.

This proposal is an alternative to that represented in document GRRF/2015/9 and GRRF-79-19.

European countries are considering new requirements to require the fitment of snow tyres for use in severe snow conditions on specific axles of heavy duty vehicles. New tyres are approved under UN R117; however, a large percentage of heavy duty vehicles are fitted with retreaded tyres which are outside the scope of UN R117. This proposal would transpose the relevant requirements for new snow tyres into UN R109 in order of avoid the exclusion of retreaded tyres from such applications/markets.

The overall aim of the study is to propose policy options concerning the use of tyres for improvement of traffic safety. Centrally to this, is the idea that end users need to make the correct assessment in relation to the tyre condition in order to achieve a level of safety as high as possible. Within this context, the tyre condition is considered in relation to technical elements (tyre inflation pressure, tyre tread depth, tyre damage, tyre age, and meteorological influences) and one information element (driver awareness). The study addresses the topics of tyre usage and the impact on road safety (which are the potential safety improvements related to tyre usage from a technical perspective) and how can road users be supported to use tyres that have a better safety performance by policy options.

Table of test procedures including plans for phase 2 development of the global regulation on tires.

Status of the draft text to introduce provisions for tyre rolling resistance and snow performance testing into the global technical regulation on tyres.

Proposal to add a trigger threshold requirement and to modify the sampling rate, deceleration limit and data selection criteria for category B brake-assist systems.

Presentation supporting documents GRRF/2015/25, /29, and /32 proposing to:
a) Align definitions and content of UN tyre regulations;
b) Include a definition of “manufacturer” extracted from the resolution “R.E.3”;
c) Adopt a common definition and use of the terms “Manufacturer’s name”, “Brand name”, “Trademark”, “Trade description” and “Commercial name” and their links; and
d) Add information in the certificate to enable approval authorities to more easily understand the products the certificate addresses.

Proposal to improve the wording of the draft amendment on lane-keeping assistance systems, based on document GRRF-79-04.

Proposal to change the draft amendments to the 02 series of amendments to Regulation No. 30 regarding tyre dimension requirements.

Document GRRF/2015/27 proposes to modify the marking requirements to replace PSI with kilopascals (“kPa”). The intent is to harmonize the pressure indication and avoid confusion between UN Regulation No. 54 and US FMVSS 119 or FMVSS 139. This proposal would allow for the use of kPa markings in place of PSI prior to the 1 January 2018 transition date.
