Proposal to insert new paragraphs in Section I defining the background, scope, and technical rationale for emergency door opening provisions addressing power loss scenarios, insert new paragraphs 3.25. to 3.31. in Section II defining terms including “latch release control”, “door handle”, “retractable door handle”, “unlock”, “unlatch”, and “power loss”, insert new para. 4.3. establishing requirements for exterior and interior door operation with intuitively accessible latch release controls and door handles on doors providing direct occupant access, insert new para. 5.4. specifying that latch release controls and door handles shall be intuitive, that power-assisted latch release controls shall remain capable of unlatching doors after power loss for at least 60 minutes through secondary mechanical means, active secondary power supply, or fail-safe systems, that power-assisted latch release and unlocking controls shall similarly remain functional after 60 minutes of power loss, that power-assisted door opening systems shall remain manually openable after power loss, that door handles including retractable door handles shall provide accessible gripping features to unlatched doors after power loss, and that unlocking means and latch release controls shall be unobstructed, directly visible, and not located in storage devices or obstructed by interior components, and insert new Annex 6 specifying test procedures for interior and exterior door operation after power loss, including vehicle preparation steps, 60-minute waiting periods, and opening procedures to be completed within 10 minutes with up to five cycles per door.

The document addresses open issues and comments regarding UN R11 and GTR No. 1 concerning emergency door opening. It proposes defining vehicle master control switch as the device bringing onboard electronics from off to normal operation mode, and suggests activating this switch rather than switching ignition on in test procedures. The document defines main power supply as power source(s) and supply path(s) normally used for door system operation, excluding secondary or back-up supply. It raises concerns about secondary or back-up power supply failure occurring in the field before emergencies despite compliant test results. The document discusses objective intuitiveness criteria including visibility, accessibility, discoverability, identification, and operability. It recommends standardized marking for exterior door handles and proposes that door opening and closing procedures be described in vehicle owners’ manuals.

Methods for evaluating electromagnetic immunity of blind-spot detection systems are proposed using a simple reciprocating motion device equipped with a reflector. The electromagnetic immunity test is conducted after the BSD system has been activated. Vehicle’s electromagnetic immunity test methods and conditions are consistent with the previous ones. Reproducibility has been verified across various vehicle models with only minor adjustments required. The proposal seeks opinions from member countries regarding the necessity of electromagnetic immunity evaluation methods for BSD systems.

Proposal regarding methods for evaluating electromagnetic immunity of blind-spot detection systems. The proposal identifies this as a subject for discussion as part of ADAS evaluation methods. The form requests consideration of revisions to evaluation methods, with reference to presentation materials. The proposal’s disposition status remains to be determined by the IWG.
