Emergency door opening: Open Issues and comments for UN R11 and GTR 1
Reference Number: EDO-06-08

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.

Proposal to amend UN R53:

  • Simplify para. 2 by deleting vehicle type definition and consolidating definitions from UN Regulation No. 48,
  • Consolidate para. 5 general specifications by reorganising lamp positioning requirements into para. 5.5. and 5.6., restructuring geometric visibility provisions, and clarifying electrical connections,
  • Consolidate para. 6 individual specifications by standardising positioning formats into minimum/maximum height tables and reformatting geometric visibility angles into upwards/downwards/outwards/inwards notation,
  • Delete para. 5.20. as its content moves to para. 5.6.,
  • Delete Annex 3 as its content references UN Regulation No. 48,
  • Simplify transitional provisions by deleting para. 11.1. through 11.11. and para. 11.12. and replacing with new para. 11.1. and 11.2. containing simplified provisions applicable to the 05 series of amendments with dates to be determined (1 September 20xx),
  • Add Annexes 10 and 11 containing summary tables of lamp positioning and geometric visibility angles.

Artificial Intelligence: Illustration of Refreshed Approach to Draft Reference Document
Reference Number: AI-11-03

Document AI-11-03 illustrates a refreshed approach to the draft reference document AI-09-06/Rev.3, based on outcomes from the 10th IWG on AI session (AI-10-04). The document addresses AI uses and potential risks in regulated automotive safety systems. It identifies AI-related risks across lifecycle stages—specification, model training, data management, verification, and operation—and describes risk management practices drawn from standards including ISO 26262, ISO 21448, ISO/PAS 8800, and UN R155/R156. Annex 1 provides illustrative AI use cases in perception, planning, motion control, driver assessment, and vehicle monitoring. Annex 3 tabulates illustrative practices for managing identified risks. The document establishes foundational concepts and terminology to support manufacturers, suppliers, and regulatory authorities in addressing safety implications of AI in automotive systems.
