Proposal to amend UN R169 by inserting definitions for non-volatile and volatile memory, and modifying the Last Stop trigger criteria. The amendment allows threshold criterion (a) data to be written to volatile memory only, transferring to non-volatile memory when other triggers occur or the master control switch deactivates. This reduces memory wear in vehicles with frequent stops exceeding 20 seconds.

The IWG on EDR/DSSAD developed draft proposals for Event Data Recorder for conventional and automated/autonomous vehicles and Data Storage System for Automated Driving. Completed work includes UN R160 on light duty vehicle EDR, UN R169 on heavy duty vehicle EDR, and DSSAD requirements. Current activities address EDR Step 2 and DSSAD Phase 2. The IWG resolved assessment subjectiveness for vehicles with maximum mass up to 12t through a proposed Supplement 2 to UN R169.
