GTR 13-Phase 2 transposition into UN R134.

E-mail (Outlook .msg format) to the REC secretariat conveying the outcomes of a CLEPA/OICA agreement on a amendments to the draft of the proposed REC regulation.

Proposal to amend UN R160:

• Amend definitions 2.8., 2.10., and 2.11. to clarify that automatically commanded steering function categories B2, D, and E are not part of a DCAS
• Delete definition 2.25.
• Amend definition 2.35. to simplify non-volatile memory
• Amend para. 2.45. to change service brake terminology
• Amend para. 2.51. to clarify time interval between events
• Amend para. 2.65. to abbreviate vulnerable road user
• Insert new definitions 2.71.–2.83. for rollover protection system, advanced emergency braking system, trigger activated, pre-event synchronization timer, blind spot monitoring system, emergency stop signal, turn signal, acceleration control for pedal error, advanced driver distraction warning system, driver drowsiness and attention warning system, driver control assistance system, and time to collision
• Restructure para. 5.3.1. to distinguish planar, VRU, and rollover events from AEBS events with specified triggers
• Amend para. 5.3.2. to clarify data locking conditions
• Restructure para. 5.3.3. to establish time zero for planar, VRU, rollover, and AEBS events
• Amend para. 5.4.3. to specify side and frontal collision tests
• Amend para. 6.1. to clarify post-crash acceleration measurement
• Insert transitional provisions 12.12.–12.16. providing that as from the official date of entry into force Contracting Parties shall not refuse type-approvals under the 03 series, as from 1 September 2031 or 2029 [date TBD] shall not accept type-approvals to preceding series first issued after that date, until 1 September 2033 shall continue accepting preceding series approvals first issued before 1 September 2031 or 2029 [date TBD], may grant approvals to preceding series, and shall grant extensions of existing approvals
• Amend Annex 4 Table 1 to split engine throttle and accelerator pedal data elements, increase sampling rates to 10 Hz, extend recording intervals for rollover events, add pre-event synchronization timer, trigger activated, ACPE status, ADDW status, DDAW status, blind spot monitoring status, turn signal status, DCAS status, DCAS driver monitoring system warnings, emergency stop signal status, and time to collision data elements, and modify footnotes accordingly

Proposal for a recording interval of 600 seconds prior to collision for driver drowsiness and attention warnings (DDAW), 240 seconds for advanced driver distraction warnings (ADDW), 240 seconds prior to collision for driver monitoring warnings from the driver-control assistance system (DCAS), triggers planar, VRU, Rollover, AEBS, AEBS for pedestrian, AEBS for bicycle, and AEBS for motor vehicle, and event data recording time-to-collision (TTC) range of 0 s to 5.0 s and resolution 0.1 s for AEBS events.

For vehicles equipped with an Automated Driving System, it shall be possible to retrieve DSSAD time-stamp data elements specified under paragraph 5.2. of Annex 8 of UN Regulation No. 185 recorded within at least the last 30 seconds prior to triggering of the respective EDR event, regardless of whether the DSSAD and the EDR are implemented as a single system or as separate systems. The time-stamp data elements retrievable from the DSSAD shall include the record for the last activation or deactivation of the feature used at the time of the event within the same power cycle. The data elements shall be retrievable in the format specified in Annex 8 of UN Regulation No. 185, though DSSAD location data may be omitted and dates and times recorded may be replaced with information representing the time elapsed between the recording of each DSSAD data element and the triggering of the EDR.

Proposed amendments to the proposed revisions to the 1958 Agreement pursuant to the international whole vehicle type approval project.

Clarification to affirm CLEPA’s understanding that the proposed new numbering system applies only to the numbering of type approval certificates and not to the approval mark to be put on each approved components.

Discussion paper concerning the approval markings that might be used under the international whole vehicle type approval system in association with approval codes, numbers, or markings required by individual UN Regulations.

Table of regulations and pending proposals that would in whole or in part be consolidated into the new UN Regulation on light-signalling devices.
