Proposal from the GRVA chair.

Request for WP.29 attention to the Council of Europe Resolution 2346, especially paragraph 11.2 calling on “the GRVA to conduct a human rights impact assessment as part of its preparatory work on the future regulation of autonomous vehicles, as part of a general, comprehensive framework for ensuring that safety is fully maximised during future development and production of autonomous vehicles”.

Proposal to establish requirements for automatic activation of the parking brake to address safety of drivers leaving the occupant cabin.

Note prepared by the Secretariat to assist deliberation on GRVA response to the request to conduct a human rights impact assessment for automated vehicles.

Proposal to align UN R78 with the latest amendment to UN R13-H regarding deceleration thresholds for activation of stop lamps under regenerative braking.

Proposal to clarify the text with regard to transitional provisions and extension of approvals.

Proposal for an alternative to the actuation of the remote control device for the use of Remote-Controlled Parking functions.

This document provides an update to ECE/TRANS/WP.29/2021/82 as the draft of an 04 series of amendments to UN-R79 for a Risk Mitigation Function prepared by the Task Force on ADAS. This document is also available in a version with tracked changes as GRVA-10-16/Rev.1 (pdf format and docx format).

This proposal seeks to permit manoeuvring assistance in certain low speed driving situations. The proposal is identical to that briefly presented as document GRVA-07-24 at the seventh session of GRVA (September 2020).

Additional justifications for the proposal to allow up to seven seconds to start and perform a lane change.

Proposal for amendments to the proposal to allow up to seven seconds between the start of the lane change procedure and the start of the lane change manoeuvre.

Proposal to clarify the existing text on continued support of an Automatically Commanded Steering Function of Category B1 if the boundary conditions are exceeded. It proposes to clarify that under certain circumstances, e.g. if there are no lane markings present or if the vehicle has already drifted substantially out of the lane such that the lane may no longer be recognized, a continuation of support may no longer be possible or reasonable.

Proposal from the Special Interest Group on UN R157 to clarify provisions regarding ALKS response to emergency vehicles and interpretation of the term ‘detectable collision’.

Revised proposal from the Special Interest Group on UN R157 to extend the scope of the regulation to include all M (passenger) and N (commercial) category vehicles.

ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRVA/2021/15 was prepared by the expert from the European Association of Automotive Suppliers (CLEPA) to resolve the problem of fulfilling increasingly difficult Conformity of Production (CoP) routine obligations caused by unavailability of the specifically prescribed hardware.

Input on the proposal from Germany to require electrically operated parking brake systems to automatically activate when the driver leaves the vehicle cabin and/or the motor is stopped.

Changes introduced per the GRVA deliberations on 26 May regarding ALKS response to emergency vehicles and interpretation of the term ‘detectable collision’.

Changes introduced per the GRVA deliberations on 26 May regarding extension of the scope of the regulation to include all M (passenger) and N (commercial) category vehicles.

Reissued proposal (prepared by the GRVA secretariat) from GRVA to introduce a “risk mitigation function” (RMF) to enable an automated emergency response to driver incapacitation or unresponsiveness during use of an automatically commanded steering function.

Reissued proposal (prepared by the GRVA secretariat) to allow continuous movement of the driver as an alternative to the continuous actuation of the remote-control parking device as a means to assure driver attentiveness.

Alternative proposal to clarify the text with regard to transitional provisions and extension of approvals in response to document GRVA-10-12.

Note by the secretariat to support GRVA discussions on this subject.

Proposal to resolve problems with installation of stronger spring brake actuators in trailers to realize higher deceleration in the case of emergency braking caused by a cut of the supply line between towing vehicle and trailer.

Proposal from the AEBS informal working group to improve the text with regard to peak braking coefficient (PBC) provisions.

Proposal from the EDR/DSSAD informal working group to amend the DSSAD data storage provisions to include heavy vehicles.
