The agenda includes discussion of DSSAD regulatory text guidance, EDR Step 2 proposals comments, and EDR for ADS. The next meeting is scheduled for September 15-17, 2026, as a hybrid event in Europe.
Systems with ACSF B2, D and E functionality cannot be approved to UN R79 unless incorporated within a DCAS complying with UN R171. However, these functionalities may exist independently of DCAS, requiring clear distinction. Where not part of DCAS, this must be specified in the EDR regulation. A new EDR data element, “DCAS status”, could encompass ACSF B2, D and E functionalities. These functionalities are now treated either as individual functions or as components of DCAS.
Proposal to amend UN GTR No. 9 (Pedestrian safety). In Part B, chapter 6, paragraph 6.3.1.2.4., replace “675 Nm 25 Nm” by “a minimum of 650 Nm but no more than 850 Nm”. In Part B, chapter 8, paragraph 8.2.4.1., replace “675 Nm 25 Nm” by “a minimum of 650 Nm but no more than 850 Nm”.
[The World Forum agreed to keep this proposal on the agenda for consideration at its November 2013 session.]
