This document presents two proposals. (1)The new series 02 of Regulation 79 introduced requirements for RCP (remote controlled parking) systems. An RCP system requires the engagement of an EPB (electronic parking brake) once the manoeuvre has finished and the ignition is switched off. This proposal would allow the release or disconnection of the EPB by a remote control system (approved to R79) so the RCP can subsequently drive the vehicle out of a parking spot. (2) Proposal to permit illumination of the stop lamp for electric regenerative braking under 0.7m/s² deceleration in order to allow for “one-pedal driving” of electric vehicles.

Revised proposal concerning remote-controlled parking (RCP). The new series 02 of Regulation 79 introduced requirements for RCP systems. An RCP system requires the engagement of an EPB (electronic parking brake) once the manoeuvre has finished and the ignition is switched off. This proposal would allow the release or disconnection of the EPB by a remote control system (approved to R79) so the RCP can subsequently drive the vehicle out of a parking spot. The second proposal in the original document concerning regenerative braking and stop lamp activation will be discussed again as a revised formal document at the September 2018 GRRF session.
