Proposal to exclude M and N1 vehicles from the close-proximity field of vision requirements pursuant to the establishment of the international whole vehicle type approval system.

Amendments by Japan to its proposal to remove the provisions for welded constructions of compressed natural gas (CNG) cylinders or metal liners, including high-strength steel CNG cylinders.

Presentation of data to supplement discussions on improvements to the driver field of view, especially with respect to indirect vision (rear, blind spot, mirrors, camera systems).

Proposal for improvements to the driver rear field-of-view requirements towards reducing pedestrian accidents.

Proposal to introduce new requirements and test procedures for rear-view systems in order to reduce risks of pedestrian collisions while vehicles move in reverse.

Proposal to add a new condition to paragraph 18.1.7.2. such that the number of filling cycles will be verified at the time of type approval in order to prevent exceeding the maximum number of filling cycles.

Proposal to introduce requirements for “obstacle detection systems to support fields of vision” (e.g., wide-view mirrors, sensors, camera systems). The aim is to decrease backover fatalities and injuries due to driver failure to adequately scan for obstacles when driving in reverse gear.

Research in support of the AECS sled test pulse corridor as presented in GRSG/2016/19 (draft AECS regulation). The research demonstrates that the proposed peak G crash pulse specification is a reasonable representation of real-world crash dynamics.

Presentation on Japanese legislation concerning the “Facilitation of Mobility of the Elderly, Disabled, and Other Vulnerable People through Public Transit System”.

Proposal for an informal group to develop a draft regulatory proposal for a new UN Regulation on close proximity vision and obstacle detection systems in order to establish uniform technical requirements for such close proximity vision and obstacle detection systems to prevent accidents by enabling the driver to notice any pedestrians around or behind the vehicle.

Proposal to correct misalignment between GRSG/2022/10 as amended and adopted by the 123rd GRSG session and subsequently submitted for adoption by WP.29 during its November 2O22 session with document GRSG-123-15/Rev.1 as discussed and agreed during the 123rd GRSG session.

Proposal to add a direct vision case figure for ambinocular vision to avoid misinterpretation of the indirect vision case figure and to modify the impact safety requirements for FLVCS and Detection system for consistency with CMS requirements of UN R46.

Proposal to make editorial corrections to WP.29/2024/98.

Proposal for amendments to ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRSG/2024/40 to make the qualitative criteria in
paragraph 15.2.4.9.2. (new) ambiguous if they are separated from the concept of an
obstruction rate of 10% or less as stipulated in the current regulations.

To improve the effectiveness of LPDs in preventing left- or right-turn collisions, Japan intends to submit the following proposals:
1. Eliminating the exemption for semi-trailer tractors
2. Reducing the lower edge ground clearance of LPDs
3. Clarifying the upper edge structure of LPDs
4. Adding exemption to ensure BSIS requirements

Proposal to amend UN R73 on Lateral Protection Devices, amending ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRSG/2024/38. The proposal adds safety requirements including a new definition of Blind Spot Information System referencing UN R151. Key modifications lower the minimum height of the lower edge of LPD from 550 mm to 450 mm for most vehicles, while maintaining 550 mm for vehicles with axle distance exceeding 6.5 m. The proposal includes transitional provisions and references GRSG-113-13. Japan and France submitted this based on traffic accident data showing reduced fatalities with lower LPD height requirements.

Proposes additional requirements for LPD installation on vehicles equipped with blind spot information systems are specified.

Proposal to amend GRSG/2026/30. This document proposes amendments to UN Regulation No. 46 to clarify definitions and requirements for devices for indirect vision. The amendments include revised definitions of external original surface, protruding supports, housing, and arm; clarifications to paragraphs 6.1.1.10 and 6.2.1.4 regarding projection limits in folded positions; modifications to paragraph 15.2.4.9.2 concerning obstruction and horizon visibility; and amendments to paragraph 16.1.1.3.1 addressing safety-related rearward indirect vision information.

Proposal to amend para. 6.2. to clarify application to mirrors installed inside a vehicle, amend para. 6.2.2. to relocate a reference to Annex 13, delete paras. 6.2.1., 6.2.2.3., 6.2.2.3.1. and 6.2.2.3.2., amend para. 6.2.2.2.6.2. to provide that compliance with impact test requirements may be deemed satisfied where a mirror is mounted on the same mounting as a Class II or III mirror type approved to UN R46, amend Annex 9, para. 1.2. to add an explicit reference to para. 15.2., and delete Figure 2 in Annex 9, para. 1.2.
