Draft of the formal proposal (working document) to introduce camera-monitor systems into UN R46 for submission to the GRSP.

Proposal to align the UN regulation on frontal impact (UN R94) with the proposed amendment to UN R46 that would enable the type approval of camera-monitor systems in place of rear-view mirrors. The proposal would have exterior CMS treated identically as exterior rear-view mirrors presently are under UN R94.

Proposal to align UN R10 with the amendment to UN R46 that would enable the type approval of camera-monitor systems in place of rear-view mirrors. The amendment would replace the reference to rear-view mirrors with “devices for indirect vision” including CMS.

This proposal of the IGCMS-II amends the provisions on steering equipment according Regulation 79 to include vehicles equipped with devices for indirect vision such as camera-monitor devices. Various steering effort test provisions depend on the turning circle which currently excludes external mirrors. The text is amended to exclude as well external camera’s for camera-monitor devices. The proposal would replace the reference to rear-view mirrors with the term “devices for indirect vision” to encompass exterior CMS devices.

This proposal of the IGCMS-II amends the provisions on the category M2 or M3 vehicles with regard to their general construction according Regulation 107 to include vehicles equipped with devices for indirect vision such as camera-monitor devices. A folding seat for use by the crew, in position of use and when folded, may not obstruct the driver’s view on the exterior rear-view mirror. This also applies for the view on the monitor used for camera-monitor devices, if fitted.

The present working document incorporates vehicles with conventional propulsion. To adopt all current propulsion systems, like EV’s, the text is modified accordingly by including a reference to the “vehicle master control switch” in addition to the conventional ignition switch.

This study compared and assessed camera-monitor systems and conventional exterior mirrors in test drives and static tests under different external conditions. The assessments include the examination of technical aspects and of issues pertaining to the design of human-machine interaction.

Proposal for pixel fault (white and dark blemish) testing of monitors in camera-monitor systems.

Explanation of pixel fault testing. Pixel faults arise erratically across production and cannot be directly quantified by testing product samples. Moreover, pixel faults are a problem only when they affect visual perceptions of the driver. Therefore, the testing needs to determine the probability for a “disturbing” disruption of the image that could significantly interfere with a driver’s perception of the image.

Text prepared by the International Organization of Motor Vehicle Manufacturers OICA in coordination with the Informal Working Group Camera Monitor Systems (CMS II) to clarify the treatment of camera-monitor systems and similar indirect vision devices under Regulation No. 125. Presently, UN R125 exempts rear view mirrors from the requirements concerning obstructions to the driver’s forward field of vision. This proposal would clarify that rear vision camera-monitor systems benefit from the same exemptions.
