New proposal on blind spot information systems testing without vehicle turning for discussion.

Consolidated draft proposal for a blind spot information systems regulation as developed under the VRU Proxi informal group, based on GRSG/2017/11.

Working draft based on the proposal in document GRSG/2017/11 with marked revisions and comments.

Discussion of VRU safety data and requirements for blind spot information systems.

Final report on a Washington State Transit Insurance Pool (WSTIP) pilot program to assess the Rosco/Mobileye Shield+ system collision avoidance warning system (CAWS) specifically designed for transit buses. This project involved field testing and evaluation of the CAWS in revenue service over a three-month period. The system provides alerts and warnings to the bus driver for the following conditions that could lead to a collision:

1. changing lanes without activating a turn signal (lane departure warning was disabled for this pilot),
2. exceeding posted speed limit,
3. monitoring headway with the vehicle leading the bus,
4. forward vehicle collision warning, and
5. pedestrian or cyclist collision warning in front of, or alongside the bus.

Update on Transport Canada VRU collision research.

Draft regulation proposed by the VRU-Proxi informal working group.

Proposal to add explicit references to indirect vision systems, blind spot systems, and accident emergency
call systems.

Draft text updated pursuant to the June 7 VRU-Proxi informal group web conference.

Working draft proposal updated by Germany for the VRU-Proxi informal group for a new Regulation on uniform provisions concerning the approval of motor vehicles with regard to the Blind Spot Information System for the Detection of Bicycles

Text prepared by the Informal Working Group on Awareness of Vulnerable Road Users proximity in low speed manoeuvres (VRU-Proxi) to establish a new UN Regulation on Blind Spot Information Systems (BSIS) intended to be fitted to heavy goods vehicles.

VRU-Proxi informal group draft pursuant to its 7th session. This version is based upon the earlier formal submission to GRSG (GRSG/2018/24).

Revised version of document GRSG/2018/24 as adopted by GRSG during its 115th session.

Password protected file: ISO/CD 19206-4: Road vehicles — Test devices for target vehicles, vulnerable road users and other objects, for assessment of active safety functions — Part 4: Requirements for bicyclist targets. The proposed new UN Regulation on Blind Spot Information Systems refers to this standard presently under development within ISO. The GRSG secretariat controls access to the working party participants.

Proposal to remove ambient light constraints (e.g., 1000 lux threshold) from the draft blind spot information systems text.

Proposal to explicitly reference consideration of the time to collision in assessing the blind spot detection system performance.

Proposal to define the scope of the new regulation as vehicles of categories N₂ > 8 t and N₃. The proposal argues against inclusion of M₂ and M₃ vehicles.

Proposal to increase the 0.25 m gap between the vehicle and the bicycle to 0.50 m in order to avoid excessive false positive warnings.
