Proposal to delete limitations regarding the choice of cryptographic modules.

Proposal to define the absence of a Cyber Security Management System certificate (e.g., expiration or withdrawal) as a modification affecting vehicle technical performance (and therefore, the type approval of the vehicle).

Amendments to refine the proposal to increase maximum lateral acceleration limit values up to 4 m/s² for speeds up to 80 km/h for M1/[N1] category vehicles, provided there is no heavy rain and ambient air temperatures are above 4°C. The proposal sets the speed at 60 kph while specifying a linear reduction of lateral acceleration to a maximum 3 m/s² at 80 kph.

• B1 lane centering
• ACSF activation conditions
• Driver override
• Clarification of ACSF standby-mode
• Clarification of “ready-to-intervene"
• Indication to the driver in case of suppression
• Clarification of suppression criteria
• Sensor test before activation.

Including all informal documents received through 7 Feb. 2020 @ 6.00 p.m.

Explanation of the rationale behind proposals for cut-in test procedure proposals.

Proposal to delete the phrase “actively seek guidance” regarding Type Approval Authority consultations, shortening the period during which authorities can express reservations regarding a draft approval from 30 days to 14 days, and clarifications to the text.

Video demonstration of RCP system.

Dutch Safety Board report on ADs-equipped vehicle safety performance issues.

The proposal to clarify that enabling the system under the test procedure is only necessary in cases where the system is not already in the enabled state.

Russia-coordinated effort to reconcile divergent views on the concept for type authority review of other type approval authority decisions on cybersecurity management system certification.

ACSF systems in use were brought to market based on exemption approvals in the EU. These systems show a good and safe performance. Approvals according to UN R79/03 would force modifications to currently used systems without any apparent safety benefit. The current formula for the calculation of s_critical does not take the dynamic behaviour of the vehicles into account, therefore requires gaps that under some traffic conditions don’t usually occur. Since there are different ways of addressing the dynamic behaviour of the vehicles with regard to the original formula, this proposal would allow the manufacturer to specify its own formula provided the safety principle is maintained.

Proposal to insert the provision, “This regulation is without prejudice to national or regional regulations dealing with the development and replacement of parts and systems, physical and digital, with regards to ensure their compatibility with cybersecurity.”

Proposal complementary to GRVA/2020/12 to adapt provisions to steering-by-wire and related new technologies with regard to steering angles and system responsiveness.

Proposal to allow ACSF-B lateral acceleration above the maximum limit value in cases where the lane position cannot be maintained by the vehicle (for example, on a tightening curve).

Presentation on the safety benefit of automated emergency steering in case of confirmed driver inability to perform the driving task.

Proposal to clarify that the AEBS may be automatically deactivated in the event that the electronic stability control system is deactivated.

Proposal to introduce software control numbers into relevant UN Regulations.

Proposal to increase maximum lateral acceleration limit values up to 4m/s² for speeds up to 80 km/h for M1/[N1] category vehicles, provided there is no heavy rain and ambient air temperatures are above 4°C.

Proposal for a maximum time of up to 15 seconds for an Automatically Commanded Steering Function (ACSF) of Category C to start a lane change.

Proposal to stipulate that “Automatic deactivation by the system of the direction indicator is required only if the lane change manoeuvre is initiated automatically, or if the direction indicator control is not fully engaged (latched position) during the lane change manoeuvre.”

Since an Automatically Commanded Steering Function (ACSF) of Category B is required to demonstrate compliance with regard to the warning cascade under testing at low speed, it is proposed to stop the high-speed test after the system has given the optical warning, meaning it has correctly detected the hands to be off the steering wheel.

Proposal to allow a corrective steering function to use haptic signals as an alternative to acoustic signals for M₂ and M₃ vehicles equipped with Lane Departure Warning System compliant with UN R130. The proposal would specify that the haptic warning may not be given solely via the steering wheel (e.g., provided in the driver’s seat).

Proposal to allow for the use of the maximum operable steering wheel angle of a steering system’s design in cases where the normalized angle as calculated under the regulation cannot meet the fixed values of the regulation (i.e., between 270 and 300 degrees). The intention is to enable approval of eventual systems (e.g., steer-by-wire) that may use low steering gear ratios.

Proposal the clarify the test method for the evaluation of performance of energy sources and energy storage devices under Annex 7. In particular, the proposal clarifies that the measurement is made on the ninth brake application.

Proposal to clarify the Russian text to improve its alignments with the English version.

Proposal to harmonise the requirements of UN R78 with the latest amendments to UN GTR No. 3 adopted by GRVA at its fourth session. Paragraph 5.1.18 aims to clarify with an explicit article that the rider is duly informed when activating a riding mode that disables the ABS on the rear axle.

Proposal to permit a function to cope with temporary driver inability to control the vehicle (e.g. caused by a health problem). The proposed emergency steering function of type (c) would warn and possibly revive the driver while automatically performing emergency lane change(s) with the aim to bring the vehicle to a standstill in an area with a low risk of collision (“target stop area” e.g. hard shoulder).

Proposal from the AEBS informal group to improve the assessment of AEBS robustness.
