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 insert new paragraph 5.3. into UN R178 (Emergency Lane Keeping Systems). The new paragraph requires that the effectiveness of ELKS shall not be adversely affected by magnetic or electrical fields, demonstrated by fulfilling technical requirements and respecting transitional provisions of the 06 or any subsequent series of amendments to UN R10. This proposal aims to ensure Electromagnetic Compatibility and make the reference future proof for potential ELKS requirements in future series of amendments to UN R10, based on GRVA-24-05/Rev.2.

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 introduce clarifications and references to lane markings and ELKS provisions:

• Include ELKS effectiveness not be adversely affected by magnetic or electrical fields per UN R10 05 series
• Vehicle operating instructions include situations where ELKS is automatically deactivated
• Reference lane markings in UN R130 01 series amendments in paragraphs 6.5.2, 6.6.2.1, 7.2.1, and 8.2.1
• Amend tyre pressure and warning threshold test procedures
• Insert transitional provisions (May 2027-May 2029)

Proposal to increase the usability and safety of the ELKS and to align the technical requirements with technological progress:

• Ensure that an ELKS is not adversely affected by magnetic or electrical fields
• Clarify when the system shall automatically deactivate to prevent unintended consequences, which should be at least detailed in the vehicle’s operating instructions as a minimum
• Include dashed lane markings for CDCF and road edges for ELKS, ensuring all systems fitted meet the highest safety standards and utilise the latest technology to prevent unintended lane departures 1
• Include the latest lane markings located in Annex 3 to UN Regulation 130. This is important as the 01 series of amendments to UN Regulation 130
  includes Australian lane markings, ensuring compatibility
• Eliminate the option for an acoustic warning for LDWS to reduce confusion with the CDCF intervention acoustic warning required in paragraph 6.6.4.
• Correct minor grammatical errors
• Enhance usability by establishing system response limits, where recent research has highlighted the prevalence of consumers turning these lifesaving systems off
• Ensure consistent and repeatable testing.

Proposal to increase the usability and safety of the system and to ensure that the technical requirements reflect the latest system capabilities.

Proposal to transpose EU Regulation 2021/64 on emergency lane-keeping systems into a new regulation under the 1958 Agreement on the mutual recognition of type approvals.

Proposal to transpose EU Regulation 2021/64 into a new regulation under the 1958 Agreement on the mutual recognition of type approvals.

Proposal to establish a UN Regulation based on EU Regulation 2021/646 to address collisions involving unintentional lane departures. An ELKS is defined as a system combining a lane departure warning system (LDWS) and a corrective directional control function (CDCF).

Proposal of a research project to assist the ACSF informal group in the development of provisions for the approval of lane-keeping and lane-change assistance and other ACSF systems.

This is a copy of the document prepared during the third LKAS ad hoc group session (document LKAS-03-09) proposing refinements to the draft amendment to UN R79 that would enable the type approval of lane-keeping systems that incorporate automatic steering functions operating above 10 km/h (document GRRF-78-14).

The LKAS group proposes several options for the transitional period for consideration and eventual decision by the GRRF. Industry proposes a three-year period before entry into effect while some government representatives propose immediate entry into effect for new type approvals since they believe current LKAS systems already meet the requirements.

Refinements to the text as developed during the 3rd LKAS ad hoc expert group session.

“If fitted” clause for application to the LKAS requirements proposed for introduction into UN R79.
