Presentation in support of Japan’s noise limit values proposal (document GRB/2012/7).

Japanese responses to the US OEM comments on the FlexPLI cost-benefit analysis.

Presentation on injury thresholds by researchers from Toyota, Honda, and Nissan.

Injury Risk Curve (IRC) and Injury Criteria (IC: WAD2+ risk 5%, 95% value) based on FE simulation in comparison with the IV-NIC by the PMHS tests done by NHTSA.

Proposal to require a high initial state of charge for the rechargeable energy storage system in the electric vehicle safety test procedures.

Presentation with recommendations for approaching vehicle audible systems for use in electric and other quiet vehicles.

Revised version of the earlier document.

A comparison of tibia bending moment time histories has shown that the exaggerated secondary peak of the FlexPLI model relative to the human model may affect the maximum value for some specific vehicles.

Development of the Flex-GTR Master Leg FE Model and Evaluation of the Validity of the Current Threshold Values against the Flex-GTR Master Leg

Presentation in support of document GRB-58-06 proposing amendments to UN R51 with regard to the categorization of flat-front light (kei) commercial vehicles.

Presentation concerning child restraint systems and testing of movable versus fixed ISOFIX seat anchorages, side-impacts and seat-belt anchorages, and the test bench specifications.

Logistical information for the 10-12 December 2013 session of the GTR for QRTV expert group.

Japan analysis of JRC chassis dyno test results under the Validation Test Program 2.

As part of the work on establishing an International Whole Vehicle Type Approval (IWVTA) system, Japan has noted differences between European and Japanese vehicle registration (license) plates. Since UN R4 would be part of the IWVTA process, Japan seeks to add its plate requirements to the European requirements embodied in UN R4 in order to enable Japan to adopt this regulation and thereby adhere to the IWVTA.

Since the system output is different between WHTC, the test cycle for conventional vehicles, and WHVC, a compensation method has been proposed. JASIC reports on its verification of the compensation method and its impact on test results.

Technical report on the development of a uniform light vehicle emissions and fuel-consumption test cycle to represent typical driving characteristics around the world in order to enable the use of a globally harmonized type-approval procedure by 2014.

Japan’s opinion for the R129 Phase 2 and
correction of an editorial error in the Draft of Phase 2

Presentation on Japanese research into
dummy responses and chest injury measures for different seat-belt paths under the full-width rigid barrier and sled tests. Since the seat-belt path influences chest deflection results, Japan proposes that UN R94 include seat-belt path definition.
