6. Regulation No. 46 (Devices for indirect vision)
|
23. Regarding ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRSG/2011/23/Rev.1 to allow replacement of all mirrors with camera-monitor systems (CMS), GRSG noted no new information made by ISO on the progress in the publication of the updated standard on camera-monitor systems (ISO 16505), expected by mid-2014. Thus, GRSG agreed to keep ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRSG/2011/23/Rev.1 on the agenda as a reference document.

24. The expert from Germany introduced GRSG-105-27 proposing to re-establish the informal group on Camera-Monitor Systems (CMS). The expert from the Netherlands committed to continue the chairmanship of CMS. The expert from OICA informed GRSG that he would need some time to consider continuation of his tasks as Secretary of CMS. GRSG adopted the revised Terms of Reference of the informal group and the proposed time schedule for the tasks of CMS as reproduced in Annex II to the session report.
25. The GRSG Chair invited all interested experts to actively participate in the future meetings of the re-established informal group on CMS, subject to the consent of WP.29 at its November 2013 session and the commitment by OICA to ensure the tasks of the secretariat servicing.

The informal group on camera-monitor systems (CMS) produced a proposal to enable the use of CMS as an alternative to conventional mirrors (document GRSG/2011/23/Rev.1). A decision on this proposal has been pending while the Forum awaits the establishment of an ISO standard on CMS. Since the ISO standard is now in its final stages, Germany proposes to reactivate the CMS informal group in order to prepare an updated regulatory proposal for these systems.

27. The expert from Germany presented ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRSG/2013/23 clarifying the introduction of the extended field of vision on heavy goods vehicles that may be covered using different mirror classes. The expert from the United Kingdom proposed some improvements to the proposed text (GRSG-105-22). GRSG adopted the document, as amended below, and requested the secretariat to submit the amendments to WP.29 and AC.1 for consideration at their March 2014 sessions as draft Supplement 1 to the 04 series of amendments to UN Regulation No. 46.
Paragraphs 15.2.4.5.11.1. to 15.2.4.5.11.3., replace the wording “that it provides” by “that it simultaneously provides” (3 times).
Paragraph 15.2.4.5.12., second subparagraph, replace the wording “However, in that case” by “In such cases” and “that it provides” by that it simultaneously provides".

UK proposal for amendments to the German proposal on extended field-of-view in Regulation No. 46

Reference Number: GRSG-105-22
|
|
Proposal to refine the text of document GRSG/2013/23 wherein Germany proposed to clarify the provisions on the extended field of vision of heavy goods vehicles across different mirror classes. The text would require assessment of normal and extended fields of vision using a single mirror adjustment and to allow for the loss of up to 10% of the close-proximity field of vision in such configurations. The UK proposes to add the word “simultaneously” in several places to confirm that the mirror can not be re-adjusted during the approval test in order to meet the extended field of view requirements.

30. Recalling the purpose of ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRSG/2013/5 to increase the safety benefits of the driver’s field of vision and the pedestrian safety in narrow streets, the expert from Japan introduced GRSG-105-25 proposing some amendments to the initial proposal and a roadmap for further proceedings. GRSG noted a number of concerns by the experts from the EC, Germany, Hungary and the United Kingdom and OICA (GRSG-105-17). GRSG did not agree to split UN Regulation No. 46 with respect to different vehicle categories. Following the discussion, GRSG agreed to resume consideration on this subject at its next session in May 2014 on the basis of a revised document by Japan, taking into account the comments received.
