Initial draft of the amendments that would enable type approval of camera-monitoring systems in the place of convention rear-view mirrors presented as a consolidated version of UN R46. This draft is based upon the earlier proposal that was set aside pending work on related ISO standards (i.e. document GRSG/2011/23/Rev.1.).

List of participants from the February 5-6 2014 session of the reconstituted expert group on camera-monitor systems.

Text drafted by Germany to introduce camera-monitor systems into the regulation on indirect vision devices, including for use in place of conventional mirrors, pursuant to discussions during the first session of the informal working group.

Brief notations from the first session of the expert group developing type-approval requirements for camera-monitor systems for vehicle rear (indirect) vision.

Overview of the work on the ISO 16505 international standard intended to define minimum safety, ergonomic and performance requirements for Camera-Monitor-Systems to replace mandatory inside and outside rear-view mirrors for road vehicles (e.g. Classes I to IV as defined in ECE-R 46).

Brief note on the outcomes of the first session of the expert group developing language to enable the type approval of camera monitor systems as a replacement for conventional rear view mirrors.

Editorial corrections to document CMS II-01-02/Rev.1 (draft of amendments to UN R46 to enable the approval of camera-monitor systems as indirect vision devices in place of conventional mirrors.

Proposed amendments to introduce provisions for camera-monitor systems (CMS) as indirect vision devices in place of conventional mirrors. This document provides a table of changes to Annex 12 of the working draft proposal to amend UN R46 (document CMS II-01-02/Rev.1) and their justifications

Proposal to align UN R125 (driver forward field of vision) with the amendments to UN R46 under development to enable the approval of camera-monitor systems as indirect vision devices in place of conventional mirrors.

Draft Proposal for Regulation No. 46 Annex 12, Appendix 3 on special requirements to be applied to the safety aspects of camera-monitor systems for indirect vision.

At night, conventional mirrors reflect headlamps and similar light sources as points of light. This presentation reviews evaluations of camera-monitor systems in rendering point light sources compared against conventional exterior rear-view mirrors and methods for laboratory testing of their performance.

Proposals concerning the location of rear-view camera-monitor devices as replacements for conventional exterior rear-view mirrors.

Presentation on the results of driver evaluations of conventional exterior rear-view mirrors compared with camera-monitor systems.

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.

Overlays are rendered over the main image presented by a monitor to convey information to the driver. This presentation discusses questions and concerns over the use of overlays in rear vision camera-monitor systems.

Proposed changes to the working draft of the amendment (document CMS II-01-02/Rev.1) to introduce camera-monitor systems into the regulation on indirect vision devices (UN R46) pursuant to decisions taken during recent sessions of the Working Party on General Safety (GRSG).

Working draft of the proposed amendment to introduce provisions for the approval of camera-monitor systems as replacements for conventional rear-view mirrors pursuant to discussions during the 2nd CMS-II informal working group session.

Adaptation of ISO 13406-2 to camera-monitor systems for vehicle rear vision, proposing a visual inspection for bright and stuck pixels on the monitor screen.

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.

Working draft of Annex 12 on functional safety requirements under development by the Informal Group on Camera-Monitor Systems for introduction into UN R46 to enable the replacement of rear-view mirrors with CMS devices.

Presentation reviewing ISO 16505 treatment of overlays, comparison of UN R46 Annex 12 current proposals with ISO 16505, and a new OICA proposal.

Presentation on current positions for allowed and disallowed configurations of rear-view monitor systems and OICA proposal for regulatory language.

Review of justifications for proposed specifications.

Review of the latest amendments to UN Regulation 46 as adopted by WP.29 through its March 2014 meetings which have not yet been fully incorporated into the IGCMS working draft to amend UN R46 with regard to camera-monitor systems.

Review of ISO 16505 and applicability to type approval under UN R46 as amended for camera-monitor systems (Annex 12).

Second part of a presentation on BASt research into the configurations and use of camera-monitor systems, covering:
- Analysis of Gaze Behaviour
- Study on Farsightedness

Report of the third meeting of the expert group working on an amendment to enable the type approval of camera-monitor systems in place of rear-view mirrors.

Working draft of the informal working group on Camera-Monitor Systems under preparation to introduce type-approval provisions for the use of CMS in place of conventional rear view mirrors.

Table of clauses and paragraphs introduced into the proposed revision of UN R46 in order to enable the type approval of camera-monitor systems in place of conventional rear view mirrors, including references to and transposition of provisions from ISO 16505.

CLEPA position on marking requirements in general and specifically concerning the requirements for camera-monitor systems under UN R46.

UN Regulations 21, 26, and 125 have provisions that relate to mirrors and/or the program to enable the approval of camera-monitor systems as a replacement for conventional mirrors. This document discusses changes that will be required under the proposed CMS revisions to UN R46.

Working draft of the informal working group on Camera-Monitor Systems under preparation to introduce type-approval provisions for the use of CMS in place of conventional rear view mirrors.

Working draft of the CMS regulatory text marked up to show changes incorporate during each CMS II informal group session, including those for review during session 6.

The experts of France and the Netherlands have verified the text of document IGCMS-II-05-02 on its consistency of the wording for the different classes of devices, corrected the wording for the class VII devices, corrected several references and replace the transitional provisions by those of Revision 5 of R46.
