Proposal to clarify the references to UN R10 in UN R89. This was part of a collective amendment proposal concerning (in addition to UN R89) UN R13, UN R13-H, UN R79; UN R130 and UN R131. Proposal also to

1. exempt cases where the driver has temporarily deactivated the speed limiter from the warning requirement for excess speed in in order to reduce driver distraction
2. introduce throttle control via adjustment of the accelerator pedal position
3. to correct an editorial error in paras. 5.2.5.4.2. and 21.2.5.4.2.

The European Agreement Concerning the International Carriage of Dangerous Goods by Road (ADR) requires vehicles to be equipped with a speed limitation device compliant with UN R89. UN R89 refers to speed limitation devices (SLD) and speed limitation functions (SLR) (i.e., aims to be technologically neutral). Russia requests GRRF confirmation that compliance with UN R89 can be achieved through either an SLD or SLF.

57. The expert from the Russian Federation introduced GRRF-86-19, inviting delegates to confirm the type of speed limitation systems requested for vehicles type approved for the transport of dangerous goods as specified in the European Agreement Concerning the International Carriage of Dangerous Goods by Road (ADR). GRRF confirmed that a vehicle equipped with a Speed Limitation Function would be in compliance with ADR Section 9.2.5 similarly to a vehicle equipped with a Speed Limitation Device.

59. GRRF learned that Jochen Schaefer (Bosch, CLEPA) would no longer attend the sessions of GRRF as he would enter the passive phase of his partial retirement agreement with his employer. GRRF congratulated him for his outstanding contributions to GRRF and wished him all the best for his future retirement.

Revised proposal from OICA pursuant to comments received during the previous GRRF session to

1. exempt cases where the driver has temporarily deactivated the speed limiter from the warning requirement for excess speed in in order to reduce driver distraction
2. introduce throttle control via adjustment of the accelerator pedal position
3. to correct an editorial error in paras. 5.2.5.4.2. and 21.2.5.4.2.

56. The expert from OICA introduced GRRF-86-14 with provisions on the warning activation condition, in case of the system deactivation by the driver as well as a verification simplification of the throttle control action during testing. GRRF adopted the proposal as reproduced in Annex VII. GRRF requested to submit it together with ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRRF/2013/13 as draft Supplement 3 to UN Regulation No. 89 to WP.29 and AC.1 for consideration and vote at their June 2018 sessions.

Proposal to

1. exempt cases where the driver has temporarily deactivated the speed limiter from the warning requirement for excess speed in in order to reduce driver distraction
2. introduce throttle control via adjustment of the accelerator pedal position
3. to correct an editorial error in paras. 5.2.5.4.2. and 21.2.5.4.2.

61. The export from OICA introduced ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRRF/2017/22 with provisions on the warning activation condition in case of the system deactivation by the driver as well as a verification simplification of the throttle control action during testing. The proposal received some comments. The expert from OICA agreed to prepare a revised proposal and additional information for the February 2018.

Presentation of issues raised during discussions of the GRE Task Force on EMC requirements with regard to the application of several UN Regulations to trolley buses depending upon their configuration (e.g., dual-mode operation either connected to overhead cables or in standard bus mode).

6. The expert from Belgium presented ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRSG/2016/5 proposing to remove the new safety prescriptions for trolleybuses from UN Regulation No. 107 and insert them into UN Regulation No. 100 on electric power trained vehicles. The expert from UK raised concerns about the differences in the scopes of both Regulations and their application to trolleybuses. GRSG noted the comments by the Working Party on Lighting and Light-Signalling (GRE) about possible alignments of UN Regulations Nos. 107 and 116 with UN Regulation No. 10 on electromagnetic-compatibility (GRSG-110-04). The expert from OICA introduced GRSG-110-08-Rev.1 on the applicability of UN Regulation No. 100 versus Annex 12 of UN Regulation No. 107 with respect to electrical safety provisions. The expert from France explained that the origin of the current problem of trolleybuses was linked to the application of the European Union (EU) legislation on whole vehicle type approval. The expert from Japan informed GRSG about the intention of the Chair of GRE to seek the advice of WP.29 on this subject at the forthcoming session in June 2016. The GRSG Chair questioned the need to also involve the experts of the Working Party on Passive Safety (GRSP) in charge of UN Regulation No. 100. A number of experts expressed their preference to keep the electric safety provisions within UN Regulation No. 107. Thus, GRSG agreed that the experts of the Working Parties concerned should work on a simple solution avoiding further burden for public transport operators. The expert from Belgium volunteered to conduct a more detailed analysis on the compatibility or incompatibility of the scopes and technical provisions for trolleybuses of UN Regulations Nos. 10, 100 and 107.

7. GRSG agreed to resume consideration of this subject at its next session in October 2016 awaiting the outcome of the analysis by Belgium. GRSG requested the secretariat to keep ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRSG/2016/5 on the agenda as a reference document.
