Proposal to:

1. add a footnote to the scope to exempt electrified vehicles where the internal combustion engine (ICE) operates under the test conditions
2. clarify the intention of paragraph 6.2.:
   • that AVAS may be operational outside the specified speed ranges (e.g., in the USA where the speed range extends to 30 km/h),
   • align maximum sound with UN R51.03 ASEP, and
   • explicitly specify that the AVAS may function even when the ICE is running
3. clarify under paragraph 6.2.6. that a manufacturer may install an attenuation to enable the system to operate at different sound levels
4. split and clarify indoor and outdoor testing specifications under Annex 3 paragraph 2.2. to account for different needs such as a weather station
5. amend the flowcharts in the Annex 3 Appendix to better reflect the regulation text.

Amended proposal for a new UN Regulation on uniform technical prescriptions concerning approval of immobilizers and approval of a vehicle with regard to its immobilizer. This proposal has been developed to facilitate the integration of UN R116 into UN R0 on whole vehicle type approvals by extracting immobilizer provisions into a stand-alone regulation. The proposal also clarifies the exclusion of radio transmission frequencies.

Proposal for a new regulation on uniform provisions concerning the approval of vehicle alarm systems and approval of a vehicle with regard to its vehicle alarm system. The regulation would extract provisions from UN R116 in order to facilitate the integration of UN R116 into the UN R0 international whole vehicle type approval system.

Proposal to remove the exclusion of M₁ and N₁ not equipped with a side airbag and to specify that the AECS shall be able to output the navigation solution in an NMEA-0183 protocol format (RMC, GGA, VTG, GSA and GSV message), among other clarifications.

Proposal to allow external blind spot information system components integrated into external indirect vision devices (e.g. mirrors) approved under UN R46 to extend up to 250 mm beyond the overall vehicle width. The present text limits installation to 100 mm.

This proposal relates to the proposal in document GRSG-116-15. This proposal would:

1. clarify that the application of an AECD approval to other vehicle categories than M₁ and N₁ is not mandatory,
2. align the power supply requirement of Part III, para. 34.1 with the corresponding requirement in Part II, para. 25.1.
3. clarify with regard to para. 34.1 that if the vehicle is equipped with both
   • -a “back-power supply” as listed in para. 35.10.1 and
   • -a “Power supply other than back-up power supply mentioned in paragraph 35.10.1” as listed in para. 35.10.2
   both should be tested according to Annex 9. The “Power supply other than back-up power supply mentioned in paragraph 35.10.1” should indeed only be tested if it is the only power supply for the AECS.
4. Since informal document GRSG-116-15 deletes the existing exemptions in para. 1.3, and hence introduces more severe requirements, the changes should be introduced via a new series of amendments with appropriate Transitional Provisions of 2 years. (In effect, the application of AECS requirements would be based solely on the scope of UN R94 and R95 and no longer takes into account the presence of an airbag and its triggering system. The manufacturers need sufficient time to ensure AECS compliance for new vehicle types and in the same time, the changes should not affect existing vehicle types that were given an AECS type approval already.)

Proposal to refine the provisions on the number and position of emergency exits of vehicles of Classes A and B. The transition from 05-series to 06-series of amendments is based on the final proposal of the Informal Group for Service Doors, Windows, and Emergency Exits (SDWEE) adopted by GRSG as document GRSG/2012/15. One of the consequences of the new wording is that, if one escape hatch is fitted, it must be positioned in the middle third of the passenger compartment. For Class A and B vehicles with sometimes short passenger compartments (< 3 m), this can be problematic because the middle third position can overlap with the position of the service door, close to which lateral roof reinforcements are necessary to provide structural stability and meet provisions of UN R66. Given that the exact position on shorter vehicles is of lower relevance than for long compartments, this proposal would provide latitude on the exact placement for Class A and B vehicles.

Proposal to introduce provisions for aerodynamic devices at the rear end of the vehicle that do not compromise the functionality of rear underrun protection devices.

OICA presentation reviewing the work on

1. key testing (GRSG/2018/25)
2. smart keys (GRSG/2019/7)
3. separation of UN R116 into three regulations

Proposal to clarify that UN R116 covers protection against unauthorized use “by means of a locking system”.

Proposal to clarify the measurement method of the lateral distance of the pedals to the nearest “wall” to the left.

Proposal to define indication lines within the text to enable display of a combined continuous image in a monitor system.

Proposal to introduce an optional (on the choice of the manufacturer) test procedure for frontal airbags in combination with rearward facing child restraint systems in the rear seat to demonstrate that no deactivation of the airbag is needed.

Presentation in support of the proposal to allow an option for demonstration that an airbag deployment is safe in the presence of a rear-facing child restraint system in a rear seating position.

Proposal to raise requirements for the attachments and fittings of the seat (as a prelude to the eventual deletion of static test methods in favor of dynamic testing).

Proposal to clarify that the warning signal to alert a driver of an M₂ or M₃ vehicle with more than 22 seating positions if the vehicle is in active-driving-possible mode when the driver leaves the seat shall be activated upon leaving the seat, not the vehicle.

Proposal to introduce objective criteria for evaluating whether a door remains latched following the pole impact test. Under UN R135, rear doors on the impacted side of the vehicle not directly struck by the pole may nonetheless be subjected to heavy loads and therefore need to be assessed. This proposal corresponds to a similar clarification already introduced into UN R95 on side impacts.

OICA request for clarification on the interpretation of Supplement 6 to the 07 series of amendments to UN R83 which enables the use of compliance assessments of vehicles with a reference mass less than 2,610 kg for the purposes of extending the type approval to special purpose vehicles (including armoured ones) having a reference mass exceeding 2,840 kg.

Update on the status of work regarding the transition from NEDC to WLTP, particularly pending the transposition of GTR 15 into one or more UN Regulations under the 1958 Agreement.

Proposal to clarify “permanent default” and “limp-home mode” in UN R83.

Proposal to amend current definitions to allow fault code erasing in cold regions (< -7°C) and high altitude (> 2440m), harmonizing the definitions with those used in China and the United States.

Proposal to allow for the use of use special denominator conditions for certain components or systems. The current definitions of the specific denominators are based on engine/aftertreatment system combinations designed as one TWC for gasoline vehicles and DOC, DPF and SCR respectively NSC for diesel engines. Upcoming emission requirements will bring up additional aftertreatment components like Gasoline Particulate Filters (GPF) or new designs with more than one SCR catalyst. Such new systems or catalyst combinations might require specific conditions to enable the monitoring, especially when their purpose is designed for such conditions.

Proposal to allow an alternative test method to “set the charge air cooler outlet temperature during bench test to temperature which was observed by vehicle test and corrected to the reference temperature specified in paragraph 5.2.1.” of Annex 5. This alternative method is well recognized in SAE J1349.

Matrix illustrating a possible way that use of simulation, track, and real world testing might be applied to the various automated vehicle safety elements identified by WP.29 Contracting Parties.

Rough draft discussion document for an eventual new UN Regulation.

Proposal to clarify that the gear ratio i+1 by definition has an acceleration (not an “engine speed”) lower than gear ratio i.

Proposal to allow for the use of the maximum operable steering wheel angle of a steering system’s design in cases where the normalized angle as calculated under the regulation cannot meet the fixed values of the regulation (i.e., between 270 and 300 degrees). The intention is to enable approval of eventual systems (e.g., steer-by-wire) that may use low steering gear ratios.

Proposal to introduce provisions for a “two-step Human Machine Interface” in the requirements for Automatically Commanded Steering Functions (ACSF) of Category C lane-change functions.

Proposal to introduce a definition for “Aerodynamic devices” and ensure that such devices shall not compromise the functionality of rear underrun protection devices.

Proposal in line with ISO 2575 to allow for the use of different colors (e.g., red, yellow, green) to convey the status modes (e.g., failure, active) of seven functions via modification of footnote 18 under Table 1.

Proposal to extract provisions from UN R116 in order to establish a separate regulation for the approval of devices to protect against unauthorized vehicle use. The splitting of UN R116 into three separate regulations has been proposed to advance the implementation of the International Whole Vehicle Type Approval system.

Proposal to extract provisions from UN R116 in order to establish a separate regulation for the approval of immobilizers and vehicles equipped with immobilizers. The splitting of UN R116 into three separate regulations has been proposed to advance the implementation of the International Whole Vehicle Type Approval system.

Proposal for a new regulation on uniform provisions concerning the approval of vehicle alarm systems and approval of a vehicle with regard to its vehicle alarm system. The regulation would extract provisions from UN R116 in order to advance UN R0 on the international whole vehicle type approval system.

Proposal to enable the use of small indicative lines to assist the driver in discriminating among two or more fields of vision rendered as a combined continuous image on a display.

For escape hatches on buses of Classes A and B, proposal to allow a maximum length of 1600 mm equally spaced to cover the shortest vehicles, so the allowed space should be the maximum of either the third of the length or 1600 mm. This proposal will not affect the positioning requirements for any mid-sized and larger buses.

Proposal for amendments to the draft Supplement 6 to the 03 series of amendments submitting clarifications to the text from the ASEP II informal group.

Protection Against Unauthorized Use variant.

Proposal aimed at splitting UN R116 into separate regulations addressing unauthorized-use prevention, immobilizers, and vehicle alarm systems.

Immobilizer variant of the draft Annex under UN R116.

Draft proposal for Annex 7 of UN R116 destined for the proposed immobilizer regulation.

Draft proposal as part of the effort to split UN R116 into three regulations separately addressing protection against unauthorized use, immobilizers, and vehicle alarm systems.

Proposal concerning assessment of ACSF Category B1 lane keeping systems. Under Annex 8, proposal to delete the warning-to-deactivation cascade testing at high speed because the capability is already demonstrated under the low-speed test and the high-speed variation effectively requires a test track length of more than two kilometers. The proposal would also clarify paragraph 5.6.2.3.1. regarding the use of inputs other than lane markings where lane markings are not present.

Proposal for modifications to draft tolerances in the testing of ACSF B1 and C systems with regard to lane width, coordinate system, lateral acceleration, and overriding-force test.

The 01 series of amendments aims at increasing the performance requirements in the Car to Pedestrian
scenario by permitting only reduced maximum impact speed compared to the original version of this
Regulation. Thereby the same maximum impact speed is required for the Car to Pedestrian as for the
Car to Car scenario. However, in the original proposal (GRVA/2019/16), the permitted maximum impact speed for an N₁ vehicle erroneously corresponds to that of an M₁ vehicle. This proposal corrects the error.

Pursuant to discussions during the 9th session of the informal working group on AEBS for M₁/N₁, paragraphs 6.5.2. (pass conditions regarding “car-to-car moving” collision warning) and 6.6.2. (pass conditions regarding the collision warning in the Car to Pedestrian scenario) were deleted given that pass conditions were already defined by the general requirements. For consistency, this proposal would delete the pass conditions under the car-to-car stationary scenario.

Changes to the proposal to update and clarify Annex 6 on requirements for documentation, fault strategy and verification of the safety of electronic systems and complex electronic vehicle control systems related to vehicle steering.

Proposal for changes to the draft new UN Regulation on awareness of vulnerable road users behind vehicles.

Proposal to allow the use of a haptic signal as an alternative to the current requirement for an acoustic signal for the corrective steering function, provided the vehicle is equipped with a lane-departure warning system approved under UN R130. The proposal also introduces a requirement that the haptic warning must extend beyond the steering wheel (e.g., the signal would also include the driver’s seat) in order to address misuse (i.e., hands off the steering wheel use).

Proposal to introduce an optional (on the choice of the manufacturer) test procedure for frontal airbags in combination with rearward facing child restraint systems in the rear seat to demonstrate that no deactivation of the airbag is needed.

Proposal to clarify that the warning signal to alert a driver of an M₂ or M₃ vehicle with more than 22 seating positions if the vehicle is in active-driving-possible mode when the driver leaves the seat shall be activated upon leaving the seat, not the vehicle.

Request from the originator of the proposal (regarding the measurement of distances of the left-most foot control from the cabin “wall”) to remove it from the session agenda.

Proposal to clarify that UN R144 does not specify the frequency (number) of attempts or the duration of efforts to establish a network connection (voice or data transmission) for automatic emergency call systems.

Proposal to update the definition of “key” in line with technological progress and clarifying that a “key” is specifically a means for access, not an anti-theft system.

Presentation on technologies to provide driver with augmented view of roadway (e.g., visual overlays projected against windscreen) and restrictions under UN R125.

OICA comments on the NGV proposal (document GRSG/2019/28) to introduce changes/additions in the Change of Design Table to better specify appropriate test requirements for CNG cylinders with composite materials and, in some cases, to harmonize with International Standard Organisation (ISO) standard 11439.

OICA comments on the original proposal (GRSG/2019/11) regarding interpretation of “contactable parts” and wiper systems. GRSG/2019/11 has been superseded by a revised proposal (GRSG/2019/34) incorporating the OICA comments.
