Updated document to provide information on a “multi-pillar approach” certification scheme to demonstrate the level of safety and reliability which allows for safe market introduction of automated/autonomous vehicles, including refinement via the synthesis of Contracting Party AV guidance to provide a framework for defining specific safety elements.

Proposal to clarify that UN R139 does not mandate the installation of brake assist systems (BAS) on vehicles but rather specifies requirements for the approval of vehicles should they be equipped with a BAS system.

Proposal to clarify that UN R140 does not mandate the installation of electronic stability control systems (ESC) on vehicles but rather specifies requirements for the approval of vehicles should they be equipped with an ESC system.

Proposal to amend the draft text (GRVA/2019/9) submitted to resolve measurement concerns in the test requirements for ACSF of Category B1 and C by introducing provisions for tolerances, including:

1. inclusion of the position at which the lateral acceleration was measured and the position of the centre of gravity of the vehicle for better traceablility,
2. sampling rate of at least 100 Hz for dynamic testing,
3. specification of filters and cut-off frequency for determination of lateral acceleration.

EU-funded project to develop and demonstrate new technologies, concepts and architectures for complete heavy-duty commercial vehicles and trailers that are energy efficient, safe, comfortable, configurable and cost-effective, while ensuring that the varying needs of customers are satisfied by being flexible and adaptable with respect to the continuously changing operational conditions.

Request to extend the ACSF mandate a further 12 months.

Changes to the draft proposal for a new UN Regulation on light vehicle AEBS as noted during the second GRVA session.

Proposal submitted by the GRVA chair for the scope and objectives of a new informal group.

Proposal from the GRVA chair.

Outcomes from the discussion of the proposal from France to clarify requirements of the optical signal for a CSF intervention to ensure sufficient flashing tell-tale visibility for the driver, to specify the duration of such ACSF signals, to ensure a safe hierarchy of signals (e.g., ESF over CSF) by priority, to clarify that deactivation when departing an ODD means the “off mode”, and to add a cross-reference pointing to paragraphs that define cases of manual and automatic deactivation.

Correction to the agreed changes to the draft AEBS regulation for light vehicles as noted by the GRVA secretariat.
