The agenda includes a review of the schedule with next meetings on 7th July and 24th August, continuation of database analysis presentation from RDW, review of decisions and work for the next meeting, report to IWG RD-ASEP.
Task Force Data Analysis (Sub Group to IWG RD-ASEP) held its 13th meeting on Wednesday, 3rd June 2026. The group reviewed database analysis including statistical analysis of differences between expected and measured sound levels, sub-model construction, and optimization calculations for parameter tables. Discussion addressed model construction concerns, vehicle failure differentiation, and data collection requirements including approval values according to UN R117. Next meetings are scheduled for Tuesday, 7th July and Monday, 24th August 2026.
This presentation analyzes RD-ASEP model performance using test run data from Annex_9_test_runs where both left and right sound were measured. Current model shows 1.3% of measurements above L_exp; without the 2 dB margin this increases to 8.4%. Model overestimates at low speeds and underestimates at higher accelerations. Tyre rolling sound parameters have most influence on results and dominate most of the data set. Optimizing all 13 parameters reduces mean absolute error from 2.1 to 1.1 dB. More high acceleration measurements are needed to reliably calibrate the dynamic component.
Proposal to amend UN R160:
The agenda includes discussion of EDR Step 2 documents and EDR for ADS documents, review of action items and schedule of future meetings, and adjournment. Future meetings are scheduled for September 8, 2026, and October 6-8, 2026.
Working draft of notes concerning future activities to update the initial resolution on A-LCA.
