OICA proposal for the definition of ay_smax (the maximum lateral acceleration under which an automated steering function is designed to operate).

Complete revised test of the “corrective steering” amendment to UN R79 (GRRF-82-12/Rev.3) as agreed during the 9th ACSF informal group session (for eventual approval by GRRF during its January 2017 session and WP.29 at its March 2017 session).

The Netherlands and Sweden note strongly urging consideration of system safety and software assessment issues before proceeding with approval procedures for Category B2 and/or E ACSF, including a discussion of the role, if any, of ISO 26262 under Annex 6.

Proposal to amend provisions on electronic stability control warnings under braking regulations to allow for activation of the ESC visual warning during a stability-assistance intervention of an electronic steering control. The aim is to avoid separate requirements for brake-actuated and steering-actuated stability assistance that would lead to two visual warnings where only one is appropriate.

Proposal to exempt automated parking systems from the draft requirement for tactile signals on the steering control. In a parking maneuver, the driver does not hold the steering wheel.

Proposals for the text of the draft amendment to UN R79 to enable the approval of automated lane-changing systems.

Proposals to clarify and refine provisions in the draft corrective steering function amendment to UN R79 (document GRRF-82-12/Rev.3).

Proposal to include under the complex electronics annex of UN R79, if only as an interim measure, provisions for the approval of automated systems that bring a vehicle safely to a stop in the event of driver incapacitation.

Proposal for an “Emergency Steering Function” to automatically assist drivers in avoiding an impending collision with an obstacle or other vehicle.
