Supersedes official document ECE/TRANS/WP29/GRSG/2023/13

Proposal to delete the reference to “direct vision” in the paragraph regarding equivalency of approvals under UN R125 to avoid confusion due to its usage in both UN R167 and UN R125.

Proposal from the VRU-Proxi informal group to amend its formal proposal to introduce an alternative method for assessment of the frontal visible volume to address future cab designs with narrower distances between A pillars.

Proposal to improve accessibility of buses, especially to users of mobility support devices, and improve convenience to promote use of public transport, addressing

• Identification of the bus from the bus stop
• Identification of the entry door
• Bus access: ramp, handrails, safety, etc.
• Identification of the different dedicated spaces: wheelchair area, pram area, reserved seats, space for assistance dogs
• The safety while traveling: wheelchair stability, protection of seated passengers, etc.
• Communication with driver, outside and inside the bus
• Identification of the exit door
• Bus exit: ramp, handrails, safety, etc., and
• To address different situations: wheelchair users, parents with prams or pushchairs, visually impaired passengers, users of other mobility support devices, etc.

Informational document from the EDR/DSSAD informal group describing potential items for consideration in further work on light and heavy vehicle EDR provisions.

Proposal for amendments pursuant to the introduction of a headform impact test.

Proposal to introduce options to fulfil marking requirements in cases where more than one Regulation applies (e.g. avoid duplicating the E-Marking).

Proposal to require a support device for centre axle trailers, independent of the type of coupling device.

Information document to inform GRSG of the proposal to introduce provisions for the specifications and calibration procedure of the 3-D “H”-point machine and the procedure for determining the “H”-point and the actual torso angle for seating positions in motor vehicles, to be used in all referenced UN Regulations and GTR. The proposal will be formally considered by GRSP in December 2023.

Proposal to modify the definitions of the “external original surface” of the vehicle and the “impact point” relative to the hammer.

Proposal from the GRSG task force on UN R46 to

• clarify the diameter of the impact test rig,
• introduce provisions for centre-steered vehicles and corresponding magnification factors and for frameless outside mirrors,
• clarify the possibility of having foldable camera wings,
• exclude Class I CMS camera (mounted on the roof of the vehicle) from the impact test,
• clarify impact positions for the pendulum test,
• remove provisions for surveillance cameras (to be covered under UN R26 and UN R61),
• replace references to “mirror” with “indirect vision device”,
• clarify markings for devices capable of displaying more than one field of vision, and
• clarify positioning of pure Class I CMS.

Editorial correction to the French version of the Regulation.

Proposal to enable EDR approval for vehicles between 8-12t under UN R160 subject to additional verifications.

Proposal to clarify the need to have a support device for centre axle trailers, independent of the type of coupling device.

Proposal to define a Subsection Frontal Visible Volume within the area of greatest risk with the aim of ensuring that VRUs directly in front of the vehicle cannot be in a blind spot between direct vision and indirect vision.

Proposal from the VRU-Proxi informal group to amend provisions concerning “temporarily modified view” for “automatic change of view” and deletion of related provisions under “deactivation” in order to allow systems providing enhanced visibility during manoeuvres. Additional proposal to permit temporary obstruction of view subject to conditions.

Proposal from the VRU-Proxi informal group to introduce an alternative method for assessment of the frontal visible volume to address future cab designs with narrower distances between A pillars. The current measurement method is dependent on the position of the A pillar. The alternative method is independent of the cab design and would be available for use at the manufacturer’s discretion.

Proposal submitted by Germany on behalf of the GRSG task force on UN R46 to address surveillance cameras/mirrors under UN R26 (while removing related provisions from UN R46 on indirect vision).
