The document addresses open issues and comments regarding UN R11 and GTR No. 1 concerning emergency door opening. It proposes defining vehicle master control switch as the device bringing onboard electronics from off to normal operation mode, and suggests activating this switch rather than switching ignition on in test procedures. The document defines main power supply as power source(s) and supply path(s) normally used for door system operation, excluding secondary or back-up supply. It raises concerns about secondary or back-up power supply failure occurring in the field before emergencies despite compliant test results. The document discusses objective intuitiveness criteria including visibility, accessibility, discoverability, identification, and operability. It recommends standardized marking for exterior door handles and proposes that door opening and closing procedures be described in vehicle owners’ manuals.
Proposal to insert a new definition of functional test configuration, amend para. 2.1.1.2. to clarify that test conditions are agreed between manufacturer and technical service and that tables provide guidance which may be extended or amended depending on vehicle characteristics, add tables specifying basic vehicle test conditions for “50 km/h mode,” “Brake mode,” and “Active ADS Mode,” add an alternative “Brake mode” with active ADS for vehicles where braking mode cannot be applied with ADS operational without ADS feature(s) activated, add AECS and AVAS test condition tables, and insert a new table cross-referencing UN Regulations with specific provisions and test configurations to demonstrate compliance with UN R10.
Proposal to require test reports provided by manufacturers to comply with paragraph 3.3. and to be attached to the test report of the technical service.
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.
