Updated version of the draft text under development within the ACSF informal group, based upon the previous version in document ACSF-04-20.

Comments on the draft test procedures as described in the draft text of document ACSF-04-20.

Proposal to define and require countermeasures to ensure that a driver remains available to assume control of a vehicle from an automated lane-keeping/steering system as conditions warrant. This document proposes definitions for a “driver attention recognition [system/function]” and/or a “driver attention confirmation [system/function]”.

Presentation on paragraph 5.6.1.4 of the draft amendment to UN R79 intended to enable the approval of automatically controlled steering functions at speeds above 10 km/h. This paragraph concerns transitions between the human driver and the automated steering system.

Overview of proposed test modes/procedures for Category E automatically commanded steering systems.

Proposed changes to the working draft text ACSF-04-20.

OICA presentation on approaches and trade-offs in handling driver availability for transitions between automated vehicle system and human driver.

OICA and CLEPA note that the current work on ACSF does not address class O vehicles (trailers) and therefore leaves unsettled the issue of heavy-duty commercial vehicles. The two groups signal that the informal group must coordinate with the GRRF to ensure that trailers are eventually incorporated in the ACSF approval procedures under UN R79.

Schematic flow of events and responses for automatically commanded steering functions, including transition demands and fall-back on minimum risk maneuvers by the system.

Table of requirements for automatically commanded steering function capabilities (e.g., hazard warning activation, driver alerts, minimum risk maneuvers, etc.) according the ACSF category.

Test procedure application for advanced systems of category D depending upon the steering configuration per category B (B1:hands-on with detection system steering, B2: hands-off enabled steering).

Updated list of functions/capabilities per ACSF category, including B1 and B2 categories addressing “hands-on” and “hands-off” lane-keeping.

Consolidated draft for the approval of automated steering systems pursuant to the discussions and decisions of the 5th ACSF informal group session (January 2016).

Proposed changes to the draft amendment to UN R79 on automatically commanded steering functions.

Changes proposed by Germany to the draft ACSF amendment (document ACSF-05-16)

UK input to confirm basic understanding of the proposed categories of corrective steering and automatically commanded steering functions and to propose requirements under each category.

Proposal for ACSF systems to be programmed to function only within the maximum speed limits defined by national or regional traffic authorities.
