Draft proposal to introduce provisions for the type approval of vehicles with electro-mechanical braking (EMB) systems.

Text revised for clarity and to avoid misinterpretation especially in the certification process.

Proposal to introduce the option of using a QR code (or other type of digital data carrier) to replace the paper installation instructions physically included in the packaging.

Proposal to clarify a logical cascade of actions regarding activation of ACSF B1 and C and the indication on when the vehicle has entered an eligible road based on the following:

1. When the same means is used by the driver to simultaneously activate the Automatically Commanded Steering Function of Category B1 (ACSF B1) and of Category C (ACSF C), both functions switch to standby mode when the vehicle enters an ACSF C eligible road. But if the road is non-eligible to ACSF C, then only the ACSF B1 is activated.
2. With the current text of the regulation, once the vehicle moves to an ACSF C eligible road, the driver must operate again the means to activate the ACSF C. This second deliberate action is confusing for the driver since it makes the manipulation more complex. The current wording discourages most drivers from using this assistance function.
3. The proposed wording permits the following, logical, cascade of actions:
   1. The driver has done a deliberate action to activate ACSF B1 and ACSF C (on a non-eligible road); then
   2. He drives into an eligible road, and is clearly informed thereof; then
   3. He initiates a lane change procedure by activating e.g. the direction indicator.
4. This amendment further clarifies the requirement on the indication of when the vehicle enters an eligible road. It gives some examples of the type of indication to be given to the driver, e.g. additional popup or blinking indication, without being design restrictive.
5. A dedicated status indication of an ACSF C off-mode is by nature already different from the standby or active indication. Therefore, the driver is already sufficiently informed on a potential status change.

Proposal to prevent the approval mark from being replaced by a Unique Identifier (UI) in UN Regulation No. 16.

Proposal to clarify the packaging and labelling requirements for some types of brake lining assemblies, which could be fitted for various different applications and to allow the option of using a QR code (or another type of digital data carrier) to replace some information printed on or included in the packaging.

Correlation table showing the corresponding provisions of the current versions of UN R13 and UN R13-H as far as they are related to the proposed amended provisions by the EMB Informal Group regarding electro-mechanical braking systems.

Proposal to clarify the provisions for ACSF Cat. A “Remote Controlled Parking (RCP)” for vehicle combinations. The current definition for RCP S_RCPmax sets a maximum limit of 6m distance to the motor vehicle, which is insufficient in situations where the operation is supervised by the driver located behind the vehicle combination.

Proposal to clarify the conditions under which Enhanced Child Restraint Systems must be tested in a vehicle body shell.

Proposal to include the option to use a QR code (or another type of digital data carrier) to replace, in case of necessity, some packaging information.

Proposal to clarify the application of the proposed changes with regard to electro-mechanical braking.

Proposal for editorial improvements for clarity and consistency across regulations.

This document amends the formal proposal in document GRVA/2023/9.

Proposal to clarify the requirements on the final steering amplitude in cases where front tyre saturation occurs before the calculated magnitude angle.

Proposal to amend the Consolidated Resolution on the Construction of Vehicles (RE3) under the 1958 Agreement to introduce technical definitions for subcategories of vehicles equipped with automated driving systems.

This document summarises the reviews conducted by the GR working parties on the fitness for ADS of UN Regulations and GTR for application to ADS vehicles. This document represents the current opinions of the experts at the time of submission, and the recommendations contained inside may evolve significantly during the next steps of the process of reviewing and amending Regulations.

Proposal to introduce options to fulfil marking requirements in cases where more than one Regulation applies (e.g. avoid duplicating the E-Marking).
