| UN R42: Proposal for a Supplement 3 |
| Reference Number: GRSP-TF-AVRS-27-02 |
|
Proposal to amend para. 6.1.5. to state that sensors, cameras, radar devices, etc. being part of driver assist systems and automated driving systems may become damaged, disoriented or broken due to an impact as long as basic braking and steering performance remain intact. The amendment enables application of UN R42 to vehicles equipped with an Automated Driving System. |

| UN R127: Status of work on application to Y-category vehicles |
| Reference Number: GRSP-TF-AVRS-27-06 |
|
A decision was taken in mid-2025 to start drafting a new regulation collecting relevant safety requirements for Category Y vehicles. UN R127 on pedestrian safety performance could be directly amended to include Y-category vehicles instead of including requirements in a new regulation. TF AVRS agreed to amend UN R127 to include Y-category vehicles. A draft regulation (v4) is available proposing supplement 5 to the 04 series of amendments, including amendment suggestions in scope to determine exemptions for Y-category vehicles based on front structural geometry dimensions rather than R-point criteria. |

| UN R94: Compatibility assessment proposal for Y-category vehicles |
| Reference Number: GRSP-TF-AVRS-27-07 |
|
Y-category vehicles are equipped with an Automated Driving System and not designed to carry occupants. They may develop aggressive front structures that could harm passenger cars in accidents. The proposal introduces the Occupant Load Criterium (OLC), derived from velocity-time graphs in crash tests, as a compatibility assessment criterion. OLC multiplied by vehicle mass indicates impact aggressivity. Data from ODB tests show OLC values range from approximately 22 to 35 g across various vehicles. The proposal suggests using a maximum OLC × mass value to prevent excessively aggressive vehicle front structures while keeping current passenger car designs unaffected. |
