Japan comments on the “skeleton draft” (document AEBS-03-02/Rev.1).

Consideration of vehicle-to-vehicle, vehicle-to-pedestrian, and vehicle-to-cyclist tests.

Interim draft text for a light vehicle AEBS regulation prepared on behalf of the informal group on AEBS. It provides the state of play of the discussions held the informal group up to date. It aims at providing the experts of Working Party on Automated/Autonomous and Connected Vehicles (GRVA) the opportunity to react, comment and contribute to work performed by the informal group until now.

The False Reaction scenarios in Annex 3-Appendix 2 were based on UN R131 (on-highway heavy vehicles) without verification of their applicability to urban light vehicles. Japan has begun research and anticipates proposing changes to the UN R152 scenarios in the near future. This proposal identifies scenarios under study and recommends tolerances for the vehicle and pedestrian dummy placements. Japan also raises concerns over the provision “the AEBS shall not provide a collision warning” in cases where there is no imminent collision risk.

Proposal concerning “false reactions” (false positives).

Proposal for amendments concerning “false reactions” (false positives).

Proposal to clarify that the tolerance for the speed of the pedestrian dummy crossing the vehicle path is 0.4 km/h across all the series of amendments.
