Proposal to insert provisions on software identification and software updates into UN R13, UN R13-H, UN R79, UN R89, UN R130, UN R131, UN R152, UN R155, UN R156, UN R157, UN R171, UN R175, and UN R178 by adding definitions referencing Consolidated Resolution R.E.3 Annex 7, requiring manufacturers to provide Technical Services with information on hardware and software influencing performance, permitting vehicle manufacturers to apply for new approvals differentiating software versions for registered versus new vehicles, clarifying that production discontinuation does not apply when manufacturers seek approval extensions for software updates of registered vehicles, and amending communication forms to include software identification numbers and related information.

Proposal to amend UN R13, 13-H, 79, 89, 130, 131, 139, 140, 152, 155, 156, 157, 171, 175, and 178 by introducing provisions on software identification and software updates. Amendments add new paragraphs referring to Software Identification Number definitions in Consolidated Resolution R.E.3, require manufacturers to provide Technical Services with information on hardware and software influencing performance, permit vehicle manufacturers to apply for new approvals differentiating software versions for registered versus new vehicles while avoiding test duplication, and modify production discontinuation provisions to exclude cases where manufacturers seek approval extensions for software updates of registered vehicles.

Proposal to insert a new paragraph at the end of the introduction, amend paragraph 1 to clarify that the Regulation does not apply to vehicles of Categories X and Y, amend footnotes 1, 2, and 3 to reference document ECE/TRANS/WP.29/78/Rev.8, and insert new paragraph 5.6. with provisions that the LDWS function shall be deactivated upon activation of an ADS feature and automatically reinstated upon deactivation of an ADS feature.

Proposal to align UN R130 with the harmonised wording approved by WP.29 with regard to conditions for automatic reinstatement of a system at the “initiation of each engine start/run cycle”.

Proposal to align the text with MR2 for initiation of the power train

Proposal to facilitate a consistent approach across all Contracting Parties for Emergency Lane Keeping Systems (ELKS) covering vehicles of category M1 and N1. Currently the European Union mandates ELKS through EU Regulation 2021/646. This document proposes to align UN R130 with the EU regulation.

Proposal to facilitate effective functioning of Lane Departure Warning System (LDWS) fitted to Australian supplied vehicles of categories M₂, M₃, N₂ and N₃ primarily used under highway conditions.

Proposal to facilitate effective functioning of Lane Departure Warning System (LDWS) fitted to Australian supplied vehicles of categories M₂, M₃, N₂ and N₃ primarily used under highway conditions.

Proposal to address cross-referencing issues in UN Regulation No. 79 with respect to UN Regulation No. 130 (Lane Departure Warning System), especially with regard to Australian lane marking specifications.

Proposal to insert a new Introduction section to the regulation in order to highlight technical issues related to the installation of LDWS on some specific vehicles included in the scope of the regulation.

Text prepared by the experts of the International Organization of Automobile Manufacturers (OICA) to insert a new Introduction to the regulation in order to highlight technical issues related to the installation of LDWS on some specific vehicles included in the scope of the regulation.

Information on the mandatory installation of advanced brake systems for motorcycles and of Lane Departure Warning Systems for heavy-duty vehicles.

Explanation of OICA’s requests to exempt certain vehicles from mandatory AEBS and/or LDWS requirements due to their uses and the technical limitations of these systems. For example, the sensors used by the systems cannot operate reliably on certain special purpose equipment (such as snow plows) where the equipment and the nature of the operating environment are prohibitive.

Proposal to modify the introductory comments of the LDWS regulation in order to emphasize the focus on highway driving and impracticality of deploying LDWS on certain types of vehicles such as off-road equipment or special purpose vehicles.

Proposal to modify the scope of the regulation in order to exempt certain vehicles from mandatory compliance with its provisions in cases where technical obstacles prevent the reliable use of lane-departure warning systems given the current state of the technology. This document includes a detailed explanation of the vehicle categories for exemption.

Proposal to include a footnote in the scope of the regulation alerting type approval authorities to the possibility for exemptions to the lane departure warning systems requirements based upon reasonable technical feasibility, cost/benefit, and/or other evidence. The broad notion is that LDWS is intended to prevent accidents due to inattention while driving long distances, especially on highways. Therefore, vehicles designed for purposes not given to such monotonous long-distance travel should, under this proposal, logically be exempted on a case-by-case basis from LDWS requirements.

Proposal for collective amendments of amendments to Regulations Nos. 13 (Heavy vehicle braking), 13-H (Brakes of M1 and N1 vehicles), 79 (Steering equipment) and 89 (Speed limitation devices) and the new Regulations on LDWS and AEBS to clarify the references to Regulation No. 10 into the UN Regulations mentioned above.

Several vehicle control regulations refer to compliance with UN Regulation No. 10 on electromagnetic compatibility. The proposal would revise these references to focus only on the technical (thus excluding administrative) requirements since some countries do not apply UN R10.

European Commission press release announcing agreement on new harmonised rules for commercial vehicle Advanced Emergency Braking Systems (AEBS) and Lane Departure Warning Systems (LDWS) as well as on a new child restraint system and new requirements for electric vehicle batteries.
