Video demonstration of RCP system.

Dutch Safety Board report on ADs-equipped vehicle safety performance issues.

The proposal to clarify that enabling the system under the test procedure is only necessary in cases where the system is not already in the enabled state.

Russia-coordinated effort to reconcile divergent views on the concept for type authority review of other type approval authority decisions on cybersecurity management system certification.

ACSF systems in use were brought to market based on exemption approvals in the EU. These systems show a good and safe performance. Approvals according to UN R79/03 would force modifications to currently used systems without any apparent safety benefit. The current formula for the calculation of s_critical does not take the dynamic behaviour of the vehicles into account, therefore requires gaps that under some traffic conditions don’t usually occur. Since there are different ways of addressing the dynamic behaviour of the vehicles with regard to the original formula, this proposal would allow the manufacturer to specify its own formula provided the safety principle is maintained.

Proposal to insert the provision, “This regulation is without prejudice to national or regional regulations dealing with the development and replacement of parts and systems, physical and digital, with regards to ensure their compatibility with cybersecurity.”

Proposal complementary to GRVA/2020/12 to adapt provisions to steering-by-wire and related new technologies with regard to steering angles and system responsiveness.

Proposal to allow ACSF-B lateral acceleration above the maximum limit value in cases where the lane position cannot be maintained by the vehicle (for example, on a tightening curve).

Proposal from the AEBS informal group to improve the assessment of AEBS robustness, to delete the clause “for subject vehicle and target vehicle”, and add a reference to paragraph 5.2.1.4. in paragraph 6.10.2.

Summary prepared by the GRVA secretariat of the working party’s activities and programs, including its “top three priorities” for 2021.

Presentation on the safety benefit of automated emergency steering in case of confirmed driver inability to perform the driving task.

Proposal to clarify that the AEBS may be automatically deactivated in the event that the electronic stability control system is deactivated.

Proposal as approved during the 6th GRVA session for a new UN Regulation on approval requirements for low-speed, on-highway automated lane-keeping systems.

Proposal to exclude vehicles of categories R, S and T from the initial scope of the draft UN Regulations.

Proposal to require vehicle manufacturers to provide relevant cybersecurity information (cybersecurity goals, specifications, requirements) to authorised replacement-part manufacturers.

Update on the status of discussions aiming to resolve open items in the draft UN Regulation on cybersecurity following the 5th GRVA session.

Proposal from the EDR-DSSAD informal group to provide requirements for “data storage systems for automated driving” in the draft automated-lane keeping systems type-approval regulation.

Proposals to clarify the draft text.

Proposal for an “Appendix on Traffic Disturbance Critical Scenarios to the Annex on audit/assessment to the new UN Regulation on Automated Lane Keeping systems (ALKS)” applying concepts under consideration by the VMAD informal group to establish performance criteria based on “driver model” responses to traffic scenarios.

Proposal from the VMAD informal group secretary for “Special requirements to be applied to the functional and operational safety aspects of Automated Lane Keeping Systems (ALKS)”.

This document outlines the UK’s latest proposals to permit a lane change function during a minimum risk manoeuvre or emergency manoeuvre as part of the forthcoming ALKS Regulation.

This proposal intends to allow the system to have a grace time in order to deal with unexpected changes in the radius of the curvature of the bend, by allowing the system to exceed the imposed ayxsmax limit of 3 m/s² by a maximum of 40% for up to 2 seconds.

Proposal for amendments to the proposed draft Annex 4 on audit/CEL to the new UN Regulation on Automated Lane Keeping Systems (ALKS)

The proposal replaces the protection of critical elements with the protection of the vehicle type in general to ensure that a critical element can be secured by security mechanisms in other elements of the vehicle type. This clarifies that secure gateways can be used to shield parts of an E/E architecture which contain critical elements. Further, the proposal introduces a transitional period for the obligation to implement the mitigation measures of Annex 5, Part B and C. During this transitional period, the manufacturer can introduce alternative appropriate mitigation measures on the basis of technical feasibility.

Proposals to clarify provisions for collision avoidance in a cut-in scenario, collision avoidance with regard to crossing pedestrians, on “other activities than driving”, and on “permanent visibility” of the means for the driver to activate and deactivate the system.

Proposal to clarify provisions regarding

• skills and procedures required of the Approval Authority and its Technical Service(s),
• mandatory peer review of the Approval Authority’s skills, procedures and assessment methods and pass/fail criteria,
• notification of intended type approvals and availability of documentation for inspection,
• minimizing the risk of expiry of the CSMS Certificate before issuance of a new Certificate, and
• exemptions for approvals granted before 1 July 2024.

Proposal to require the definition of security requirements for the vehicle type.

Proposal for a new UN Regulation as approved by GRVA during its 6th session for the type approval of vehicles with regard to their cybersecurity protection.

CS/OTA informal group proposal for a document to assist with the implementation of the new UN Regulation on cybersecurity management. This document is also available with track changes in a word document format and portable document format.

Proposal to improve the text with editorial clarifications and restructuring.

Presentation raising concerns over discrepancies and risks of misinterpretation in the application of the regulation by technical services.

Proposal to clarify that the Approval Authority should postpone granting a cybersecurity management approval in the absence of agreement on the common interpretation of a provision where the interpretation of the Approval Authority has raised comments from other authorities under the review procedure provided for in paragraph 5.3.4.

Proposal from the Informal Working Group on Advanced Emergency Braking Systems (AEBS) for vehicles of Categories M1 and N1 to supplement the proposals of document GRVA/2020/26 to improve the text on a number of issues.
