Proposal to revise the terms of reference and rules of procedures for the Informal Working Group on Advanced Emergency Braking Systems. The IWG shall review current regulatory actions and data on Automated Emergency Braking Systems and provide recommendations on future regulatory actions including revisions to UN Regulation No. 152. The IWG shall examine current AEBS regulations worldwide, assess accident situations for passenger vehicles, draft state-of-the-art performance requirements for collision scenarios involving pedestrians at night, investigate regulatory improvements to performance requirements, and investigate feasibility to include updated requirements to avoid false activation of AEBS for light vehicles.

Proposal to modify the specified maximum remote controlled parking operating range from 6 m to 15 m. Large markets including Canada, USA, and China do not regulate maximum remote controlled parking operating range. Remote controlled parking systems exceeding 6 m operating range are already offered in the field. Radio wave-based ranging is inherently inaccurate due to complicated and varying electromagnetic environment in garage and changing orientation of remote device, requiring safety margin integration into product design, which reduces effective usable range below 6 m maximum. Extended range remote controlled parking systems have been used in the field for several years without negative feedback or identified safety threats.

Proposal to amend row 13© of the List of proposed decisions on the documents reviewed during the informal consultations (GRVA-25-04/Rev.2) to specify that GRVA partly included the work on DSSAD within the IWG on ADS remit, with items to be included comprising strategic directions and data elements structured as a separate workstream under an OPI’s coordination, and DSSAD activities related to data format, accessibility, survivability and location becoming part of IWG on EDR activities, with regular online meetings organized to ensure alignment and coordination between the two groups.
