Proposal to amend the transitional provisions of the formal proposal to update UN R106 (GRRF/2017/9).

Proposal for a harmonized symbol with option for explanatory text to signify a request for and status of the driver’s hands on the steering wheel when the vehicle is in an ACSF mode.

This is an extraction and abridged summary of recommendations from papers on vehicle cybersecurity.

Results of the April Amsterdam meeting to understand boundary conditions for rearward detection radar systems (essential to Category C lane-change ACSF).

Category G vehicles (defined in the Consolidated Resolution on the Construction of Vehicles (R.E.3)) have specific characteristics that enable them to achieve traction on, and to traverse over, off-road terrain that would defeat and/or damage conventional road vehicles. In some situations, it would be safer for the driver to be able to manoeuvre the vehicle from outside. This proposal seeks to permit remote manoeuvring capability provided that the vehicle is designed to operate in this environment and the off-road location is confirmed throughout the whole period that the function is in use.

Proposal to introduce provisions for the approval of Remote Control Manoeuvring (RCM) systems, defined as driver-actuated systems on off-road vehicles used for navigating exceptionally difficult terrain. This proposal seeks to permit remote manoeuvring capability provided that the vehicle is designed to operate off-road and the off-road location is confirmed throughout the whole period that the function is in use.

This document presents changes agreed by an informal group of experts reviewing the content of Annex 6 since the 84th session of GRRF. The proposal aims to clarify the purpose of Annex 6 and ensure its suitability when used in the assessment of steering systems featuring advances in automation (i.e., ACSF).
