Proposal to increase the usability and safety of the ELKS and to align the technical requirements with technological progress:

• Ensure that an ELKS is not adversely affected by magnetic or electrical fields
• Clarify when the system shall automatically deactivate to prevent unintended consequences, which should be at least detailed in the vehicle’s operating instructions as a minimum
• Include dashed lane markings for CDCF and road edges for ELKS, ensuring all systems fitted meet the highest safety standards and utilise the latest technology to prevent unintended lane departures 1
• Include the latest lane markings located in Annex 3 to UN Regulation 130. This is important as the 01 series of amendments to UN Regulation 130
  includes Australian lane markings, ensuring compatibility
• Eliminate the option for an acoustic warning for LDWS to reduce confusion with the CDCF intervention acoustic warning required in paragraph 6.6.4.
• Correct minor grammatical errors
• Enhance usability by establishing system response limits, where recent research has highlighted the prevalence of consumers turning these lifesaving systems off
• Ensure consistent and repeatable testing.

Proposal to introduce clarifications and references to lane markings and ELKS provisions:

• Include ELKS effectiveness not be adversely affected by magnetic or electrical fields per UN R10 05 series
• Vehicle operating instructions include situations where ELKS is automatically deactivated
• Reference lane markings in UN R130 01 series amendments in paragraphs 6.5.2, 6.6.2.1, 7.2.1, and 8.2.1
• Amend tyre pressure and warning threshold test procedures
• Insert transitional provisions (May 2027-May 2029)

Amends para. 5.3. to insert requirements that ELKS effectiveness shall not be adversely affected by magnetic or electrical fields, demonstrated through UN Regulation No. 10 (06 or later) series; para. 6.2.2.1. to require vehicle operating instructions include situations where ELKS is automatically deactivated; para. 6.5.2., 7.2.1., and 8.2.1. to reference UN Regulation No. 130 in its 01 series of amendments; para. 7.2.2.3. to insert “(the latest occurring warning)”; para. 8.3.3.1. to reference para. 6.6.2.1.; and inserts para. 14. establishing transitional provisions applicable from entry into force until 1 September 2030.
