Task Force Data Analysis provides input to the Editing Task Force on three items. For vehicles with single gear ratios, remove brackets from text restricting acceleration to no more than 2.0 m/s and continue with adopted text for UN R51.04. Restructure Annex 7 paragraph 4.4. into subparagraphs for clarity. Rework paragraph 3.6.1. to define reference acceleration with v-t-e ratio and specify procedures for determining maximum reference acceleration. Add specification to factor x determination to prevent extreme results and harmonize its representation as either percentage or decimal value.

Proposal to replace the current logarithmic function with a segmented function that linearizes the curve in the unstable area near the clipping boundary. The new formulation uses a tangent line to the logarithmic curve below the tangency point and clips to a minimum value of 10 dB. Two parameters define the tangency and clipping conditions: clipping value of 10 dB and slope of 5 dB per unit. The detailed formulation provides the mathematical definitions of the logarithmic function, the linearized segment, helper variables, and constraints including tangency and asymptote conditions.
