Joint event Global Forum for Road Traffic Safety (WP.1) and World Forum for the Harmonization of Vehicle Regulations (WP.29): Automation in Transport: Safe deployment of automated vehicles in traffic, 18 February 2019

Of particular importance to WP.29, the WP.1 report includes an Annex 1 “Global Forum for Road Traffic Safety (WP.1) resolution on the deployment of highly and fully automated vehicles in road traffic”.

This document, submitted by the secretariat and originally prepared by Italy, France, and Laser Europe, provides the text of agreed amendments to Article 25bis, Article 32, Annex 1 and Annex 5 of the 1968 Convention on Road Traffic. The amendments notably address “Rules of the use of lamps”.

Proposal to update the scope of the PTI informal group activities to cover new subjects, including diesel emissions system tampering and automated vehicle in-use performance.

Draft proposal for submission to the March 2018 WP.29 session requesting authorization to pursue:

1. Revision of UN Regulations as warranted with regard to facilitation of vehicle technical inspections,
2. Development of inspection countermeasures against tampering (target: June 2019),
3. Guidance on the establishment of in-use performance requirements for equipment and systems (target: November 2019),
4. Consistency between the 1968 Vienna Convention (traffic rules) and the 1997 Vienna Agreement (vehicle inspections),
5. Prescriptions for inspection of highly automated and autonomous vehicles (draft proposal June 2019),
6. Guidance for education and certification of PTI inspectors, PTI quality assurance, and testing centres, and
7. Uniform provisions for the inspection of wheeled agricultural and forestry tractors with regard their roadworthiness.

Paper considering situations when a driver might operate a vehicle from outside the vehicle (remote-controlled maneuvering, remote activation of automated maneuver).

Presentation by the WP.1 chairperson of traffic regulator perspectives on automated driving, cybersecurity, and related subjects.

Vehicle manufacturer perspectives on the permissibility of non-driving activities by the operator of a highly automated vehicle. This presentation relates to discussions between traffic regulators (represented by UN Working Party 1) and vehicle regulators (represented by UN Working Party 29) on responses under traffic laws and vehicle regulations to the advent of automated driving systems.

Brief update on automated vehicle policy in Korea and to highlight the importance of the WP.29’s role of coordinating with WP.1, ITU and other relevant agencies.

Proposal by Italy, France and Laser Europe to rearrange the text of the Convention, including Chapter II of Annex 5.

Document WP.1/2014/4/Rev.1 for the Working Party on Road Traffic Safety (WP.1).

Document that identifies and aims to rectify conflicting provisions relating to vehicle lighting and light-signalling in the 1968 Convention on Road Traffic and the 1958 Agreement concerning the Adoption of Uniform Technical Prescriptions.

Proposal for a “joint task force” involving all stakeholders to consider the impact of automated/autonomous driving on the regulation of vehicles, traffic, and road infrastructure in order to develop coordinated and mutually acceptable responses towards improving overall road safety.

Informal document No. 2 as submitted to the 70th session of WP.1.

Note prepared by the WP.29 secretariat to support discussion of a request for guidance on how to address within the World Forum the various advanced driver assistance and automated vehicle systems.

Text prepared by IMMA in order to introduce amendments to ensure consistency of Chapter II Vehicle lighting and light-signalling devices of the 1968 Convention on Road Traffic with regulations under the 1958 Agreement and regulations applicable in the European Union.

Status of WP.1 reconciliation of the Vienna Convention with WP.29 technical regulations, especially with regard to automated systems.

German proposals for revision of the Vienna Convention to address the rise of automated driver assistance systems which currently would conflict with ‘driver always in control of the vehicle’ provisions.

WP.1 document, prepared by Belgium, France, Italy, Sweden, and the United States transmitted to WP.29 by Germany, proposing revisions to the Vienna Convention in order to address the rise in automated driver assistance systems.

The requirement that “every driver shall at all times be able to control his vehicle” has recently given rise to discussions regarding the compatibility of the Convention with modern driver assistance systems. This proposal offers language to set parameters for the use of automated systems.

Report on discussions aimed at reconciling the requirements of the 1968 Vienna Convention on Road Traffic with
UN Regulations on lighting equipment.

Notes from the 64th session of Working Party 1 on Road Safety related to consistency between the Convention on Road Traffic (1968) and lighting regulations established through WP.29.

Proposed amendments to the Convention on Road Traffic (1968 Vienna Convention) in order to eliminate inconsistencies between the Convention and the vehicle regulations established by WP.29, especially with regard to driver-assist systems and the concept of driver responsibility for vehicle behavior.

Notes on Working Party 1 consideration of WP.29/GRE proposals to update the 1968 Vienna Convention on Road Traffic in line with advances in automated lighting technologies.
