Proposal to include a definition of a bidirectional vehicle and to remove the references to the 3-D “H”-point machine

Proposal to amend UN R73 on Lateral Protection Devices, amending ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRSG/2024/38. The proposal adds safety requirements including a new definition of Blind Spot Information System referencing UN R151. Key modifications lower the minimum height of the lower edge of LPD from 550 mm to 450 mm for most vehicles, while maintaining 550 mm for vehicles with axle distance exceeding 6.5 m. The proposal includes transitional provisions and references GRSG-113-13. Japan and France submitted this based on traffic accident data showing reduced fatalities with lower LPD height requirements.

Proposes additional requirements for LPD installation on vehicles equipped with blind spot information systems are specified.

India proposes formulation of new UN GTR under 1998 agreement for fire protection systems in occupant compartment of IC engine buses of M₃ category Class III based on methodology followed in Indian standard AIS-135 (Parts 3 and 4). The FPS is an inbuilt alarm and protection system based on water mist system installed in occupant compartment to allow evacuation time for bus occupants in case of fire event. India requests GRSG agreement and guidance for addition of this item under listing of candidate for development of new UN GTR.

Proposal to clarify the time unit for the equation of the sinusoidal acceleration specifies in part 6.“VerificationProcedures”

Proposal seeks to remove reference to providing information in the vehicle handbook, so as to maintain current harmonised practices.

Proposal to add the definitions “escape hatch” and “emergency exit”, as well as additional requirements for the safety of living space in the bus cabin. T

Proposal aims to make extendible trailers conform to all lateral protection requirements for trailers regardless of length, in order to remove the safety risk to vulnerable road users when the trailer is in the fully extended position. This is achieved by the removal of section 13.1.1. and 16.1.1 that specify some exemptions to requirements when the trailer is extended.

Extension of the scope for the installation of surveillance mirrors and camera-recording devices

Proposal to extend the use of digital keys to L category vehicles.

Proposal to clarify the obligations of the manufacturer to provide information on the location and safe use of emergency exits and fire extinguishers per para. 7.19. of Annex 3.

Proposal to introduce two new supplemental categories (X and Y) for driverless passenger and commercial vehicles.

Proposal to introduce two supplemental vehicle categories (X and Y) corresponding to driverless passenger and commercial vehicles.

Proposal to clarify provisions referring to the “vehicle master switch”. After a battery-off (circuit disconnection) event, some vehicle settings may turn to a default setting that is not the last setting. The proposal introduces an exemption applicable to FVA systems in such “system reset” cases.

Proposal to:

• Improve the positioning of pure Class I monitors for drivers with presbyopia (difficulty in clearly seeing close objects)
• Introduce installation requirements for surveillance mirrors and surveillance camera-monitor-recording devices
• Allow for single approval number for devices with more than one field-of-view
• Refine obstruction provisions
• Introduce provisions for rounding of magnification factors
• Introduce a new definition for “Surveillance camera-monitor-recording device”
• Clarification of the “external original surface” concept
• Clarification that the radius of curvature is not be mandatory on the back of Class I mirrors
• Allow greater flexibility in conducting the pendulum testing
• Clarify the “operation readiness” with respect to partially folded camera wings
• Allow for alternatives to the test defined in annex 7 for evaluating the radius of curvature on the reflecting surface if needed
• Correct certain errors.

Proposal to improve accessibility of vehicles of categories M₂ and M₃, class I.

Proposal to introduce a definition for “bidirectional vehicle” and to remove the references to
the 3-D “H”-point machine (per their transposition to MR1 on test tools).
