Proposal for conducting the ADS Active Test Specified in Annex 6 to clarify ADS Active Mode, clarify methods to activate ADS using test equipment or by modifying in-vehicle ADS-related ECU software, clarify test objects for ESA at component-level or system-level, and clarify test methods when ADS cannot be activated in an anechoic chamber, including testing in a non-active state using warning indicators and diagnostic functions, and testing when errors occur upon ADS activation. The proposal defines ADS Active Mode as representative ADS functions remaining operational using sensors whose inputs can be simulated within the anechoic chamber environment, with alternative test methods including application based on ESA or subsystem test results, testing with ADS not activated using steady-state driving conditions with pass/fail criteria verifying no communication errors, ECU malfunction, freeze, shutdown, or ADS system malfunctions occur, and testing with simulated sensor outputs using data from real-world driving or representative driving scenarios.
Proposal to amend Annexes 11 and 17 to specify an observation time of 2.5 min for quasi-stationary equipment as defined in Table 4 of IEC 61000-3-2, with the equipment operating in the mode expected to produce the maximum total harmonic current under normal operating conditions. Currently, UN R10.07 does not specify an observation time, which may lead to different interpretations of the test method and case-by-case agreement during type approval. Specifying 2.5 min would provide a consistent observation and averaging period for vehicle and ESA type-approval tests without changing existing test conditions, limits, or evaluation method.
The agenda includes:
Proposal to amend UN R74:
Simplification work on UN Regulation No. 86 addresses five pending points: the number of additional direction-indicator lamps allowed, geometric visibility of category 6 direction-indicator lamps, height for slow-moving vehicles marking plates set as low as possible above the ground but not less than 250 mm at the lower edge, position for slow-moving vehicles marking plates with regard to the vehicle median longitudinal plane, and speed for automatic activation of manoeuvring lamps proposed at 15 km/h as a compromise.
This document presents an analysis of abdominal injuries in frontal crashes using data from CEDATU, the Central Database for In-Depth Accident Study in Austria. The study examined 1,348 cases with 2,570 occupants from accidents between 2003 and 2025, excluding vulnerable road users and crashes with more than two participants. Results show 9.3% of occupants sustained abdominal injuries, with frontal impacts accounting for 62.8% of cases. Liver and spleen injuries were most common, representing 33.8% and 31.9% respectively. Females sustained abdominal injuries more frequently with increasing age compared to males.
Draft document for submission to the January special session of GRSG.
