Submission from the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) in order to clarify the execution of the design and test requirements for the special warning lamp while allowing for harmonization with the requirements for emergency warning lamps as prescribed by SAE.

Letter from the SAE International CEO David Schutt reiterating his organization’s support for harmonized regulatory standards and the use of references to SAE standards, and commitment to ensuring the availability of these standards.

SAE comments on the Chinese proposal to update the ‘resistence to atmospheric agents’ test by applying the spectral energy distribution of sunlight as defined in CIE Publication No. 85:1989, Table 4.

Proposal to clarify the requirements for the special warning lamp while allowing for harmonization with the requirements for emergency warning lamps as prescribed by SAE.

In document GRE/2011/35, China proposed to update the ‘resistance to atmospheric agents’ test under UN R112 by applying the spectral energy distribution of sunlight as defined in CIE Publication No. 85:1989, Table 4. Following up on its initial response (document GRE-68-41), SAE explains its opposition to the proposal.

Barouch Giechaskiel, Alessandro Zardini, and Giorgio Martini (EC Joint Research Centre) SAE paper examining the suitability of current EU particle number methods for application to motorcycle-type vehicles.

In 2011 a particle number (PN) limit was introduced in the European Union’s vehicle exhaust legislation for diesel passenger cars. The PN method requires measurement of solid particles (i.e. those that do not evaporate at 350 °C) with diameters above 23 nm. In 2013 the same approach was introduced for heavy duty engines and in 2014 for gasoline direct injection vehicles. This decision was based on a long evaluation that concluded that there is no significant sub-23 nm fraction for these technologies. This SAE paper (2015-24-2512) examines the suitability of this PN method for L-category vehicles (two- or three-wheel vehicles and quadri-cycles).

SAE input concerning VIAQ discussions on soak time and test methods, including materials on ISO test methods.

SAE paper comparing GCMS/HPLC to the Voice200 ultra, a specialized real-time instrument utilizing the technique selected ion flow tube mass spectrometry (SIFT-MS) to analyze vehicle interior air.

Proposal from Marcin Gorzkowski, SAE expert and former GRE chair.

Proposal to ensure that dipped-beam headlamps are not switched OFF inadvertently leaving no road illumination under dark ambient light conditions by mandating that the automatic switching ON of dipped-beam headlamps depending on the ambient light takes priority over manual switching.

Proposal to ensure that dipped-beam headlamps are not switched OFF inadvertently leaving no road illumination under dark ambient light conditions by mandating that the automatic switching ON of dipped-beam headlamps depending on the ambient light takes priority over manual switching.

SAE proposals regarding the proposal (document GRE-78-21/Rev.1) from the Task Force on Headlamp Switching to clarify requirements for electrical connections for headlamps, daytime running lamps, and related lighting devices.

Recent amendments to the Canada Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (CMVSS) 108 allows UN Regulation
headlamps to be used on vehicles in Canada. CMVSS 108 specifically refers to the existing UN Regulations. In order to continue the acceptance of headlamps compliant with UN Regulations in Canada after the switch to the new Road Illumination Devices (RID) regulation, the current regulations should make clear references to RID before they are frozen and superseded.

Proposal to amend the Headlamp Switching Task Force text aimed at updating requirements for headlamps and daytime running lamps.

Discussion of protections against rupture of containers in the Compressed Hydrogen Storage System (CHSS).

Proposal to require red retro-reflectors to identify the rear sides of a vehicle (presently not required for vehicles less than six meters in length).

SAE paper authored by Michael Hamm, Wolfgang Huhn, and Johannes Reschke of Audi AG concerning automated vehicle “light-driven messages” to pedestrians.

SAE comments on the working document for ADS safety requirements.

Proposal to allow the driver to make a gradual (smooth) manoeuvre instead of an abrupt one. To achieve this, the warning shall be provided in advance, when the vehicle is about to exit the lane (before it crosses the lane marking), as opposed to when the vehicle has exited its lane (started crossing or has crossed the lane marking).

Proposal for amendments to the UN R155 Interpretation Document.

Proposal to clarify the mitigation provision to address threats of spoofing of messages (e.g. 802.11p V2X during platooning, GNSS messages, etc.) by impersonation.

Proposal to introduce amendments to references to ISO/SAE 21434:2021 and ISO PAS 5112 and clarify the interpretation of the requirement in the first line of Table B1 in Annex 5 in UN R155 regarding the authentication of Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) messages.

Amended version of document GRVA/2022/17 responding to comments received.

Amended document GRVA/2022/18 responding to comments received.

Discussion of road safety and decorative car body lighting (e.g., “car lighting is the new chrome”).

Proposal to introduce an explanation of paragraph 5.1.1 in UN R155 which includes a reference to ISO PAS 5112.

Proposal to amend references to ISO/SAE 21434:2021.

Proposal to clarify that some ADS configurations would not expect any occupant role in driving the vehicle during a trip.

Proposal to clarify statement concerning driving automation systems below the level of an ADS.

Proposal to differentiate ADS capabilities to perform the DDT from other ADS functional aspects.

Proposal to clarify the introductory explanation concerning DDT performance across scenario conditions and use of representative tests.

Proposal to clarify introductory text concerning attention to ADS capabilities outside the scope of DDT performance.

Proposal to improve the applicability of examples given in Tables A1 and B1 in Annex 5 in UN R155 regarding risks due to spoofing of messages or data received by the vehicle.

Proposal to update the interpretation document for UN R156 regarding newly available international standard on software update engineering for road vehicles.

Proposal prepared by SAFE with comments from SAE.
