He mentioned several activities related to scenario databases around the world and highlighted that industry were developing their own databases for research and product development purposes. He proposed that WP29 should consider the need for a separate independent database for regulators with the direct oversight of the contracting parties and the ECE. An expert from the United Kingdom introduced WP.29-178-29 which presents their work on a Multi-User Scenario Catalogue for Connected and automated vehicles (MUSICC). He explained what was to be understood as a scenario and presented the vision proposed by United Kingdom: a scenario-based certification process, and proposed that the scenario catalogue would be stored at ECE, for the purpose of simulated tests, physical tests and other processes leading to the certification of a vehicle. He raised the question whether this vision was shared.

37. The representative of France supported the proposal made by the representative of United Kingdom. He welcomed the effort made to develop a common language for descripting and parametrizing scenarios that could be classified according to their criticality.

84. The Chair of the IWG on IWVTA presented, on behalf of the IWG on DETA, WP.29-178-21 proposing amendments to the proposed Annex 6 of draft 02 series of amendments to UN Regulation No. 0. The representatives of the United Kingdom and OICA noted the additional workload required from the industry in order to generate the DoC because the storage format of Type Approval documents currently does not allow automatic generation from already available data. WP.29 requested the secretariat to distribute WP.29-178-21 and WP.29-178-05 with an official symbol at the November 2019 session of WP.29/AC.1.

85. WP.29 took note of the specifications and application guidelines for UI and DoC (WP.29-178-24, WP.29-178-25 and WP.29-178-26/Rev.1) and requested the secretariat to issue them as official documents.

60. The World Forum considered the draft amendments under agenda item 4.3 and recommended their submission to AC.1 for voting.

82. The representative of Germany, on behalf of the IWG on DETA presented the status report (WP.29-178-22) of the activities of the group, and the report of the last session (WP.29-178-23). He informed WP.29 that DETA was operational for the exchange of type approval documentation and that 16 contracting parties already had notified [Germany of] their DETA focal point. He explained that DETA was still being developed to include the Unique Identifier (UI) and the Declaration of Conformance (DoC) functionalities. He presented the expected timeline for their implementation. He invited WP.29 to consider for endorsement the specifications of UI (WP.29-178-26/Rev.1) and DoC (WP.29-178-25). He recommended that WP.29 invite GRs, in the context of UI, to consider whether current additional marking provisions were still to be considered part of the approval marking and could be replaced by the UI marking, or these additional markings have an information character and could be provided by alternative means (e.g. insertion in the Communication Form). WP.29 agreed with this suggestion. This was necessary as the current version of the software was not able to render all marking variations

83. The secretariat insisted on the need to review the specifications of the DETA software extensions (delivering UI and DoC) as these would be the basis for developing these functions and as future amendments to them could have financial implications. He added that IWG was informed of difficulties for the involved parties, software house and sponsors, to establish contracts because contractual clauses would involve parties not being signatories of the contact (e.g. the DETA host).

66. The expert from the Russian Federation introduced ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRVA/2019/25, proposing amendments to UN Regulation No. 90 on provisions on the approval making and the approval number. The expert from CLEPA thanked the expert from the Russian Federation for having developed an elegant and creative solution to the marking requirement. GRVA supported the proposal. GRVA also agreed to identify the provisions for Category L6 and L7 vehicles as being identical to the M1 and N1 provisions (as noted in GRVA-04-54). GRVA agreed that the Unique Identifier should not be used as an alternative to the marking provisions in the Regulation. GRVA asked the secretariat to add provisions on the marking size for small parts that could not accommodate the size provision in the Regulation. GRVA requested the secretariat to provide a consolidated text to WP.29 and AC.1 for review and vote at their March 2020 sessions.

82. The representative of Germany, on behalf of the IWG on DETA presented the status report (WP.29-178-22) of the activities of the group, and the report of the last session (WP.29-178-23).

He added that IWG was informed of difficulties for the involved parties, software house and sponsors, to establish contracts because contractual clauses would involve parties not being signatories of the contact (e.g. the DETA host).

84. The Chair of the IWG on IWVTA presented, on behalf of the IWG on DETA, WP.29-178-21 proposing amendments to the proposed Annex 6 of draft 02 series of amendments to UN Regulation No. 0. The representatives of the United Kingdom and OICA noted the additional workload required from the industry in order to generate the DoC because the storage format of Type Approval documents currently does not allow automatic generation from already available data. WP.29 requested the secretariat to distribute WP.29-178-21 and WP.29-178-05 with an official symbol at the November 2019 session of WP.29/AC.1.

85. WP.29 took note of the specifications and application guidelines for UI and DoC (WP.29-178-24, WP.29-178-25 and WP.29-178-26/Rev.1) and requested the secretariat to issue them as official documents.

28. The expert from China introduced WP.29-178-27, containing detailed information on the Chinese mandatory standard on Event Data Recorders (EDR) was being finalized. He stated China is willing to submit its national standard on EDR to the Compendium of Candidate for UN GTRs when it is officially released. WP.29 welcomed the willingness of China to share its experience with WP.29 on this matter.

32. On behalf of Japan, the United Kingdom and the United States of America, the representative of the United Kingdom introduced WP.29-178-28, containing the revised ToR for IWG on ITS.

33. In response to a question of the secretariat, WP.29 confirmed that ToR were not meant to restrict or provide guidance on the communication and reporting work of the WP.29 secretariat with ECE bodies or other stakeholders.

34. WP.29 was grateful that the ECE secretariat would undertake the secretariat for IWG on ITS, given the meeting frequency and location, and adopted the ToR.

36. The representative of United Kingdom recalled the challenge of assuring the safety of these new vehicles as well as the ideas proposed by the industry (multi-pillar approach) and IWG on VMAD. He mentioned several activities related to scenario databases around the world and highlighted that industry were developing their own databases for research and product development purposes. He proposed that WP29 should consider the need for a separate independent database for regulators with the direct oversight of the contracting parties and the ECE. An expert from the United Kingdom introduced WP.29-178-29 which presents their work on a Multi-User Scenario Catalogue for Connected and automated vehicles (MUSICC). He explained what was to be understood as a scenario and presented the vision proposed by United Kingdom: a scenario-based certification process, and proposed that the scenario catalogue would be stored at ECE, for the purpose of simulated tests, physical tests and other processes leading to the certification of a vehicle. He raised the question whether this vision was shared.

37. The representative of France supported the proposal made by the representative of United Kingdom. He welcomed the effort made to develop a common language for descripting and parametrizing scenarios that could be classified according to their criticality. He mentioned WP.29-178-20, prepared by the representative of OICA, providing information on a number of activities in various countries and encouraged them to continue this compilation work.

38. The representative of Japan, Co-Chair of the IWG on VMAD, confirmed that this vision is shared by WP.29 because the framework document adopted at this session of WP.29 included it and allocated it to VMAD IWG. He recalled the current IWG activities and invited the experts of MUSICC to contribute to IWG on VMAD.

39. The representative of Germany expressed interest in this matter and agreed to investigate. He recalled that establishing a database was difficult and that such activities could build on the electronic database for the exchange of type approval documentation (DETA) to be hosted at ECE.

29. The Chair of GRVA informed WP.29 on the outcome of the third session of GRVA: reviewing the framework document and drafting ToR for IWG on EDR/DSSAD, on FRAV and on VMAD.

30. On behalf of CLEPA and OICA, the representative of CLEPA introduced WP.29-178-30 and WP.29-178-31 expressing their concerns on the draft ToR of IWG on VMAD.

31. WP.29 adopted the ToR for the three groups, as reproduced in Annexes V, VI and VII of this report.

29. The Chair of GRVA informed WP.29 on the outcome of the third session of GRVA: reviewing the framework document and drafting ToR for IWG on EDR/DSSAD, on FRAV and on VMAD.

30. On behalf of CLEPA and OICA, the representative of CLEPA introduced WP.29-178-30 and WP.29-178-31 expressing their concerns on the draft ToR of IWG on VMAD.

31. WP.29 adopted the ToR for the three groups, as reproduced in Annexes V, VI and VII of this report.

47. Finally, he briefed WP.29 on the GRE considerations of the signalling requirements for automated/autonomous vehicles (AV) and the establishment of a task force (TF) on this topic. On behalf of the TF Chair, the representative of Germany pointed out that TF had considered two main questions:

(a) Is there a safety requirement for AVs to provide signals to indicate their status and to communicate their next intended actions?

(b) If so, shall such signals (i) be visual, (ii) audible, (iii) or a combination of both?

48. The representative of Germany indicated that TF had come to the conclusion that replying to question (a) was not within its mandate and requested for WP.29 and/or WP.1 guidance. For question (b), on the assumption of a positive answer to (a), he reported that TF felt that AV signals should be visible, while recognizing a further task of addressing the needs of people with impaired vision.

49. The representatives of France and Japan advocated the need for AVs to have special signals for safety reasons, interaction with police and for the sake of general public acceptance of AV. The representative of the United Kingdom pointed out that the conditions for using such signals (speed, traffic conditions, level of automation, etc.) should be clearly defined and that WP.1 should be consulted on those issues. The representative of Finland recalled the general position of WP.1 that all vehicles, irrespective of their technology, should follow the traffic rules. He was of the view that, if AV signals were deemed necessary, they should be as simple as possible. The representative of China reported on the ongoing industry survey on this matter and agreed to inform WP.29 about its outcome. The EU representative stressed that TF should provide evidence for safety risks associated with use of AVs without signals. The representative of OICA warned WP.29 about the possible misuse of AV signals and behavioural issues with drivers of “conventional” vehicles. The representative of IMMA stated that in addition to the capability of AV-systems to detect motorcyclists, research may be needed to study the behaviour of other road users, such as motorcyclists, in response to AV signalling on motor vehicles.

50. The Chair thanked GRE and its TF for the work done and was of the view that WP.1 should be invited to address the concerns raised by WP.29 representatives and to provide recommendations on the use of AV signals, possibly in the framework of the WP.29/WP.1 Executive Task Force (ETF).

4. The annotated provisional agenda was adopted.

5. The list of informal documents is reproduced in Annex I to the session report.

7. AC.2 reviewed the revised Programme of Work for WP.29 (ECE/TRANS/WP.29/2019/1/Rev.1) and welcomed the work on strategic planning by the Chairs of GRBP and GRPE. Chairs of other Working Parties were requested to deliver their group’s priorities of work. This work of the GRs will be the basis for a more strategically oriented Programme of Work for WP.29.

151. The Chair of AC.3 introduced the documents that were considered under this agenda item. AC.3 considered ECE/TRANS/WP.29/2019/31/Rev.1, aimed at providing an updated overview of the priorities of the Programme of Work of the development of UN GTRs or amendments to the existing ones taking into account the decisions on document ECE/TRANS/WP.29/2019/2 from the 177th WP.29 session (ECE/TRANS/WP.29/1145, para. 49). AC.3 referred to the discussions on WP.29-178-10/Rev.2, WP.29-178-19, WP.29-178-16/Rev.1, WP.29-178-17/Rev.2 and WP.29-178-18/Rev.1 under agenda item 2.3.

He explained that the amendments included editorial amendments as well as a restructured Table 1 containing details on (i) current activities, (ii) expected future activities and (iii) references to the key safety principles mentioned in the document.

26. The representative of the Republic of Korea introduced WP.29-178-19, proposing additional amendments to ECE/TRANS/WP.29/2019/34. The representative of Sweden proposed to insert into Table 1 considerations related to para. 4 (j) regarding vehicle inspection. The representative of CITA supported the position of the representative of Sweden.

27. WP.29 adopted ECE/TRANS/WP.29/2019/34 as amended by WP.29-178-10/Rev.2 and requested the secretariat to issue it as a reference document with the symbol ECE/TRANS/WP.29/2019/34/Rev.1.

11. AC.2 reviewed and discussed documents WP.29-177-04 and WP.29-177-08. Following discussions among GR Chairs, Japan offered to merge them into a single framework document on automated/autonomous vehicles to be transmitted to WP.29 for discussion (WP.29-177-19).

25. The representative of the United Kingdom, Chair of GRVA, introduced ECE/TRANS/WP.29/2019/2. He proposed to delay the adoption of this document until the review of WP.29-177-19, which was under preparation at that time.

39. The secretariat recalled the series of meetings between December 2018 and March 2019 that led to the preparation of WP.29-177-19 and presented the informal document following which the World Forum had a wide-ranging discussion.

40. The representatives from AAPC, CLEPA, Sweden, and the United States of America offered their views and questions on how the existing ongoing activities were to be included in the document. The representative of the United Kingdom, who had assisted in preparing the document explained that it was aimed at setting the strategic vision for WP.29 in this framework document rather than to intervene in how GRVA would structure its work plan. For this reason, it did not provide much details on these aspects. The representative of the European Union clarified that the said ongoing activities would be addressed as a part of the identified priorities included in the table contained in the document.

41. The representatives of Australia, China, European Union and United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland welcomed the document.

42. The representative of Japan thanked all involved delegates for their efforts to prepare a framework document for automated/autonomous vehicles based on the contributions from the European Union and the United States of America, including the prioritized topics and working management, as the framework document was vital to coordinate the activities and solve concerns of stakeholders.

43. He also mentioned that Japan would support this direction and emphasized the importance of further discussions based on informal document WP.29-177-19, which was submitted for discussion at this session of WP.29.

44. He stated that the special session of GRVA in June 2019, before the next session of WP.29, would be a good opportunity to discuss ToRs based on the document as well as the draft regulations on cyber security and software update. He also expressed the willingness of Japan to contribute to discussions for the establishment of those items.

45. He recalled the internal discussions, at political level, about the external Human Machine Interface (HMI) related to automated/autonomous vehicles, specified in the formal document ECE/TRANS/WP.29/2019/2. He underlined the importance of the function, informing the surrounding of the vehicle when it is driven in an automated mode above Level 3, to ensure safety of traffic participants around.

46. The World Forum agreed the general approach outlined in WP.29-177-19 and directed GRVA to use the issues, topics and deliverables from the document as guidance to inform its further discussions on structuring its work and delivery plans. WP.29-177-19 would be transformed into a formal document for the 178th session. The World Forum expected GRVA to report at the June 2019 session on its proposed structure, and ToRs of informal groups in this respect.

25. The representative of Japan introduced, on behalf of China, European Union, Japan and the United States of America, WP.29-178-10/Rev.2 containing amendments to ECE/TRANS/WP.29/2019/34 – Framework Document on Automated/autonomous Vehicles. He explained that the amendments included editorial amendments as well as a restructured Table 1 containing details on (i) current activities, (ii) expected future activities and (iii) references to the key safety principles mentioned in the document.

26. The representative of the Republic of Korea introduced WP.29-178-19, proposing additional amendments to ECE/TRANS/WP.29/2019/34. The representative of Sweden proposed to insert into Table 1 considerations related to para. 4 (j) regarding vehicle inspection. The representative of CITA supported the position of the representative of Sweden.

27. WP.29 adopted ECE/TRANS/WP.29/2019/34 as amended by WP.29-178-10/Rev.2 and requested the secretariat to issue it as a reference document with the symbol ECE/TRANS/WP.29/2019/34/Rev.1.

29. The representative of CLEPA presented WP.29-179-23. WP.29 referred this document to GRSP for review at its December 2019 session.

17. The expert from Germany introduced GRSP-64-21, to clarify the possibility of installing side facing seats in certain bus categories (M2 and M3 of Classes A and I). GRSP adopted the proposal as reproduced in Annex III to the session report and requested the secretariat to submit it as Supplement 1 to the 09 series of amendments to UN Regulation No. 17, for consideration and vote at the June 2019 sessions of WP.29 and AC.1.

20. The expert from IC introduced GRSP-64-32 which explained that for the forthcoming entry into force of “Phase 3” of UN Regulation No. 129 (belted Enhanced Child Restraint Systems (ECRS)), all groups and categories except Group III on forward-facing non-integral CRS would be covered. Accordingly, he explained that belted CRS could be still approved according to UN Regulation No. 44 for an undefined period. He therefore proposed to phase out this category of CRS (ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRSP/2018/26). The proposal received comments on the transitional provisions and GRSP considered GRSP-64-35-Rev.1. Finally, GRSP adopted ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRSP/2018/26, as amended by Annex IV to the session report, and requested the secretariat to submit it as Supplement 16 to the 04 series of amendments to UN Regulation No.44, for consideration and vote at the June 2019 sessions of WP.29 and AC.1.

7. The expert from OICA introduced ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRPE/2019/8 and GRPE-78-27 clarifying the relationship between approval levels, reference fuels and particulate number limits for positive ignition engines and to modify the calculation formulae for determining evaporative emissions in accordance with changes already agreed in UN GTR No. 19. He stated that GRPE-78-27 superseded GRPE-78-16 and GRPE-78-16 has therefore not been introduced. He stated that some amendments were about harmonizing national legislation and SAE standards. The Chair insisted that ISO or SAE standards should fit the needs of UN Regulations and not that UN Regulations should align with ISO/SAE standards. The representative from the EC opposed to the change on SCR provisions and accepted the other amendments proposed. The representative from the UK and EC sought clarifications on the use of characters to reflect emission levels.

He stated that GRPE-78-27 superseded GRPE-78-16 and GRPE-78-16 has therefore not been introduced. He stated that some amendments were about harmonizing national legislation and SAE standards. The Chair insisted that ISO or SAE standards should fit the needs of UN Regulations and not that UN Regulations should align with ISO/SAE standards. The representative from the EC opposed to the change on SCR provisions and accepted the other amendments proposed. The representative from the UK and EC sought clarifications on the use of characters to reflect emission levels.

6. The Chair of the Informal Working Group on Additional Sound Emission Provisions (IWG ASEP) proposed to introduce transitional provisions for Supplements 4 and 5 to the 03 series of amendments to UN Regulation No. 51 (ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRB/2019/9 and ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRB/2019/11). GRB adopted these proposals and recalled that Supplement 5 would still be considered by WP.29 at its session in March 2019 (ECE/TRANS/WP.29/2019/4). To speed up the amendment process, GRB requested the secretariat to issue a revised version of ECE/TRANS/WP.29/2019/4 with the adopted transitional provisions.

7. GRB also noted that, during the adoption of Supplement 4 to the 03 series of amendments, a sentence in Annex 3, paragraph 3.1.2.1.4.2. had been deleted by mistake (ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRB/2019/9). To restore the sentence, GRB requested the secretariat to issue a corrigendum to the Supplement which would be deemed applicable ab initio.

20. The expert from OICA proposed to slightly modify the wording of the transitional provisions introduced in the 01 series of amendments to Regulation No. 138 (ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRB/2017/7). The Chair proposed to postpone consideration of this document until the adoption, at the November 2017 session of WP.29, of the Draft General Guidelines for United Nations regulatory procedures and transitional provisions in UN Regulations (ECE/TRANS/WP.29/2017/107) (see para. 30 below).

13. The expert from OICA proposed to clarify the scope and some provisions of UN Regulation No. 138 (GRB-68-13) and asked GRB experts to provide their comments. Following a brief exchange of views, GRB invited OICA to consider issuing an official document for the next session.

15. The expert from OICA presented a revised proposal with the aim to clarify the scope and some provisions of UN Regulation No. 138 (GRB-69-06).

81. The proposal on amendments to UN Regulation No. 129 was commended by CI as the last phase for a full replacement of UN Regulation No. 44, which had not been designed to fully avoid the wrong use of child restraint systems. He recalled that the shortcomings of UN Regulation No. 44, had been raised by consumer groups ten years ago which had led to the decision to stop further developing UN Regulation No. 44 and to start a new UN Regulation. He declared that his organization and ANEC were satisfied by UN Regulations No. 129 that entails not only better protection of children, but makes Child Restraint Systems (CRS) easier to use. He expressed his thank to all the stakeholders involved, and in particular Mr. P. Castaing, Chair of the IWG, for their contributions to this result. He recommended the phasing out of UN Regulation No. 44 as early as possible to avoid confusion among consumers and allow only UN Regulation No. 129 that offers the highest level of protection. He clarified that since 1 September 2017, integral ISOFIX CRS were no longer approved under UN Regulation No. 44, and this would be the case also for non-integral Group 2 and Group 2/3 seats from 1 September 2019. Finally, he announced that for belted integral systems his organization would submit a proposal at the GRSP 2018 December session to stop type approvals according to UN Regulation No. 44.

36. The expert from the Russian Federation introduced GRSP-64-01 to align the Russian text with the English version. The expert from France introduced a similar proposal (GRSP-64-11) to align the French text. GRSP adopted GRSP-64-01 and GRSP-64-11 as reproduced in Annex V to the session report.

10. GRPE requested the secretariat to submit Annexes IV and VI of the report to WP.29 and Administrative Committee of the 1958 Agreement (AC.1) for consideration and vote at their June 2019 sessions as draft Supplement 13 and 9 to the 06 and 07 series of amendments to UN Regulation No. 83 respectively. GRPE also requested to submit Annex V of the report to WP.29 and AC.1 for consideration and vote at their June 2019 sessions as draft Corrigendum 1 to Supplement 8 to the 07 series of amendments to UN Regulation No. 83.

93. The World Forum considered the proposal for a new UN Regulation on uniform provisions concerning the approval of motor vehicles with regard to the Advanced Emergency Braking System (AEBS) for M1 and N1 vehicles (ECE/TRANS/WP.29/2019/61) under agenda item 4.12.1.

94. The representative of OICA stated that they did not fully support the proposal. The Chair of GRVA acknowledged the position of the representative from OICA and proposed to review amendment proposals at the group’s upcoming sessions.

95. The representative of Japan thanked GRVA experts involved in the development of the draft new UN Regulation on AEBS and and expressed his strong expectation that the new UN Regulation on AEBS would be adopted, taking into consideration its recent national situation where serious traffic accidents caused by elderly drivers occur frequently. He added that Japan had started to consider mandating the fitting of AEBS at an appropriate timing.

96. The World Forum considered the proposal and recommended its submission to AC.1 for voting.

40. The expert from Japan, Co-Chair of the IWG on AEBS presented GRVA-02-28 with a status report on the activities of the group drafting a new UN Regulation with provisions applicable to vehicles of category M1 and N1 and introduced the corresponding proposal in ECE/TRANS/WP.29/2019/5. He presented the key performance requirements defined for so called vehicle-to-vehicle and vehicle-to-pedestrians AEBS. He mentioned that some provisions were contained in square brackets indicating that decisions by GRVA were needed, e.g. the provisions for manual AEBS deactivation and the definition of performance requirements for vehicle-to-bicycle systems.

41. GRVA discussed provisions allowing for the manual deactivation of an AEBS. The expert from Australia informed that according to their survey, 93 per cent of respondents answered that they never deactivated their AEBS. GRVA, taking into account the risks in case of a misalignment of sensors, agreed to include provisions allowing manual deactivation on the basis that the provisions in the proposal ensured that the process required more than one action to complete.

42. GRVA reviewed the proposal and agreed with the text as reproduced in GRVA-02-39-Corr.1.

43. GRVA requested the secretariat to submit the proposal as amended in para. 42 as draft UN Regulation on Uniform provisions concerning the approval of motor vehicles with regard to the Advanced Emergency Braking System (AEBS) for M1 and N1 vehicles for consideration and vote by WP.29 and the Administrative Committee AC.1 at their June 2019 sessions.

45. GRVA did not consider GRVA-02-02 as its content was not anymore relevant, given the decision in para. 42 above.

46. The expert from OICA introduced GRVA-02-22, proposing amendments to ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRVA/2019/5. GRVA recommended that the proposal be reviewed by the IWG on AEBS and that this proposal would either be included in the submission of the IWG for the September 2019 session or be submitted as a separate proposal for review in September 2019, if no consensus would be reached on this proposal by the IWG on AEBS.

140. Submitted for consideration and vote, the proposal for Amendment 5 to UN GTR No. 15 – Worldwide harmonized Light vehicles Test Procedures (WLTP) (ECE/TRANS/WP.29/2019/62, ECE/TRANS/WP.29/2019/63 and ECE/TRANS/WP.29/AC.3/44) was adopted on 26 June 2019 by consensus vote of the following contracting parties present and voting:
