Proposal to require wheel attachments with three or more fixing components (nuts or studs) in the scope of the Regulation, to restrict the difference in pitch circle diameter (PCD) of a wheel type comprised of more than two versions, to carry out additional rotating bending tests on each version with a PCD difference to a tested version of more than 6.5 mm, and to establish specifications for comparison of replica wheels with the minimum level of the vehicle manufacturer´s replacement wheels.

Request for a GRSP to establish a task force to develop Q dummy specifications under the resolution on test devices.

Explanation of the rationale behind proposals for cut-in test procedure proposals.

ACSF systems in use were brought to market based on exemption approvals in the EU. These systems show a good and safe performance. Approvals according to UN R79/03 would force modifications to currently used systems without any apparent safety benefit. The current formula for the calculation of s_critical does not take the dynamic behaviour of the vehicles into account, therefore requires gaps that under some traffic conditions don’t usually occur. Since there are different ways of addressing the dynamic behaviour of the vehicles with regard to the original formula, this proposal would allow the manufacturer to specify its own formula provided the safety principle is maintained.

The proposal replaces the protection of critical elements with the protection of the vehicle type in general to ensure that a critical element can be secured by security mechanisms in other elements of the vehicle type. This clarifies that secure gateways can be used to shield parts of an E/E architecture which contain critical elements. Further, the proposal introduces a transitional period for the obligation to implement the mitigation measures of Annex 5, Part B and C. During this transitional period, the manufacturer can introduce alternative appropriate mitigation measures on the basis of technical feasibility.

Since there are different ways of addressing the dynamic behaviour of the vehicles with regard to the original formula, this proposal would allow the manufacturer to specify its own formula provided the safety principle is maintained.

Proposal to amend the ALKS UN Regulation provisions to enable approval of systems operating at speeds up to 130 km/h.

Proposal to introduce additional requirements for a lane change functionality.

Proposal to introduce requirements for endurance braking systems for vehicles equipped with an electric regenerative endurance braking system. This proposal is an alternative to the text proposed in document GRVA/2020/37.
