Japanese presentation proposing to focus work on the definition of the scope or range of rechargeable energy storage systems to be addressed in the proposed amendments to UN R100 given that several types of REESS exist.

JASIC presentation in support of Japanese positions for the 03 series of the UN regulation on vehicle noise (UN R51). The presentation addresses a three-stage, six-year transition to more stringent noise limitations and proposes additional vehicle subcategories.

Updated JASIC presentation in support of Japanese positions for the 03 series of the UN regulation on vehicle noise (UN R51). The presentation addresses a three-stage, six-year transition to more stringent noise limitations and proposes additional vehicle subcategories.

Presentation summarizing the expected benefits from improvements to GTR 9 and the lower legform test tool.

Presentation concerning the biofidelity of the current TRL legform and the Flex-PLI lower legform impactor under consideration for the GTR on pedestrian safety.

Presentation concerning injury criteria thresholds for the Flex-PLI legform impactor under consideration for the GTR on pedestrian safety.

Presentation of a proposal for a revised ‘Worldwide heavy-duty hybrid test cycle’.

The Vienna and Graz Technical Universities have conducted research and offered recommendations for the heavy-duty hybrid emissions regulation. Japan comments on the TU-Wien and TU-Graz proposals.

Presentation on the anticipated benefits from use of the Flex-PLI test tool in GTR 9. This improves upon the earlier submission (document GTR9-1-07-Rev1).

Presentation on Japanese investigations and crash testing concerning very light vehicles (kei-cars) performance in pole side impacts.

JASIC presentation, including embedded video clip, on the results of the comparison of CRS side-impact tests using an acceleration-type sled and a deceleration-type sled. (Non-video version available at: http://www.unece.org/fileadmin/DAM/trans/doc/2012/wp29grsp/GRSP-51-38e.pdf.)

Japanese proposal to add an additional corridor and specifications for the aceleration-type sled procedure used in Japan per the testing using acceleration and deceleration-type sleds.

Trends in rear-impact accidents and injuries in Japan and implications for criteria to be used in determining head-restraint effectiveness in preventing neck injuries in such accidents.

Results of BioRID-II dummy calibration tests with headrest conducted using heavy and light probe weights to evaluate the repeatability and reproducibility of the dummy responses.

In 2010 calibration tests without headrest （see document GTR7-06-06）, the waveform configurations （phase shift） of the 095G dummy were different from those of the 102G dummy and the 115G dummy. This presentation provides the results of investigations into this difference.

Expanded review of J-MLIT,JASIC, and JARI research into the Inter-Vertebral Neck Injury Criterion (IV-NIC) as part of collobarative investigations with the USA.

In 2010 calibration tests without headrest （see document GTR7-06-06）, the waveform configurations of the 095G dummy were different from those of the 102G dummy and the 115G dummy. This presentation, updated from the GTR7-8 session, provides the results of investigations into this difference.

Revised review of international accident injury data towards defining the cost-benefit relationship of introducing the FlexPLI test device as a means to reduce tibia fracture injuries.

Revised and corrected JASIC presentation on cost-benefit scenarios for introduction of the FlexPLI test tool based upon Japanese and US accident data.

Revised presentation on biofidelity aspects of the FlexPLI test tool to correct minor errors.

Revised presentation on injury criteria for the FlexPLI test tool correcting minor errors.

Updated proposal from Japan concerning new noise limit values for light vehicles, including low-powered and “mini” cars and trucks, under UN R51.

Japanese explanation for placing Stage 3 limit values in brackets (signifying tentative proposals subject to further consideration) because of the contradiction between measures to reduce automotive noise and technical measures to meet the aims of fuel consumption/CO2 regulations.

JASIC proposal of guiding principles for the formulation of the GTR on quiet road transport vehicles.

JASIC presentation on its evaluation of the Worldwide Heavy Duty Hybrid Cycle as proposed by Prof. Hausberger.

JASIC response to NHTSA request for experimental validation of model results of the JASIC/JARI CAE correlation study evaluating upper body mass effects in high bumper impacts.

Comparison of the FlexPLI results against the European Enhanced Vehicle-Safety Committee lower legform impactor (EEVC LFI) for same vehicles in response to NHTSA request from fourth GTR9 Phase 2 informal group session.

Additional analysis on cost reduction due to tibia fracture mitigation and on vehicle countermeasure costs.

Japan analysis of moving ram test equipment, assessment of friction impact on test results for labs using inverse test rig, and recommendation for guidance note in PADI.

JASIC proposal to establish a new regulation for category L separately from categories M/N vehicles (UN R100) because the former is different from the latter in terms of structure and safety concept.

Presentation on issues for consideration in drafting the proposed Quiet Vehicles GTR in relation to the Consolidated Resolution on the Construction of Vehciles (RE3) references to approaching vehicle audible signals (AVAS).
