Document prepared by the GRVA secretariat pursuant to discussions held during the 2nd GRVA session (originally posted on 3 February and reissued on 21 February 2019).

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

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.

Proposal from the GRVA chair.

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

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.

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.

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.

• Safety aspects of automated driving
• What is the Safety of the Intended Functionality (SOTIF)?
• ISO/PAS 21448 status and activities
• Connection with Automated Driving (AD) regulatory activities

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 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.

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 for amendments to the draft proposal concerning changes to the provisions introduced by the 02 series of amendments for remote-controlled parking (RCP).

Proposal for amendments to the requirements for Automatically Commanded Steering Functions (ACSF) of Category C, introducing specific provisions for the use of a lane change function with a two-step Human Machine Interface (HMI).

This document proposes amendments to the ESC prescribed test conditions in anticipation of future developments in steering systems.

Initial outline and elements for development into a new UN Regulation for data and event recording systems for L3-5 automated vehicles.

Proposal to ensure that the safety approach for complex electronics of remote controlled maneuvering addresses malfunctions, non-fault errors, and misuse.

Proposal to exclude L-category vehicles (motorcycles, etc.) from the scope of the cybersecurity and software updates activities.

Broad comparison of AV safety elements under GRVA purview and elements present in AV safety guidance issued by Contracting Parties.

Explanation of the scope of the proposed informal working group on Validation Methods for Automated Driving (VMAD), including relation to other informal working groups such as ACSF.

Including submissions received through 23 January.

Amendment proposal to the draft text for a new UN Regulation on M₁ and N₁vehicle automatic emergency braking systems.

Proposal to clarify the test method for the evaluation of performance of energy sources and energy storage devices reproduced in Annex 7 to the UN Regulation No. 13.

Status report on the consideration of new methods for the assessment of automated driving systems (pending approval of the terms of reference for a group on Validation Methods for Automated Driving).

Presentation on current OICA thinking on methodologies for the certification or approval of automated vehicles and automated driving systems. This presentation supports document GRVA/2019/13.

Proposal to

1. correct numbering of paragraph 2.3.4.18.
2. limit the initial scope to M₁ and N₁ vehicles
3. further modify the numbering to clarify that remote-controlled maneuvering (RCM) is not a form of ACSF
4. clarify that all RCM are subject to the requirements of the Electronics Annex (Annex 6 to UN R79).

Refinements to the proposal to align the GTR text with updates to UN R78 introduced in response to technological progress in motorcycle braking.

Proposal of amendments from the AEBS informal group to their original submission for a new UN Regulation.
