Draft proposal for a new UN Regulation on “the approval of devices for reversing motion and motor vehicles with regard to the driver’s awareness of vulnerable road users behind vehicles” as developed by the VRU-Proxi Reversing Motion Task Force and Japan.

Forward Motion/Moving-Off Information Signal and/or Motion Inhibit Systems Regulation (MOIS): Consensus Document for Potential Regulatory Approaches – Version 1

Proposal for a new UN Regulation on the approval of devices for reversing motion and motor vehicles with regard to the driver’s awareness of vulnerable road users behind vehicles. The purpose of this Regulation is to provide the provisions for reversing motion concerning on awareness of vulnerable road users proximity. UN Regulation No. 46 provides provisions for indirect vision of motor vehicles. This Regulation expands driver’s vision or awareness for vehicle rear direction when in reversing motion. Therefore, some requirements of this Regulation may be satisfied by devices complying with UN Regulation No. 46.

Working draft proposal for a new UN Regulation on uniform provisions concerning the approval of devices for reversing motion and motor vehicles with regard to the driver’s awareness of vulnerable road users behind vehicles

Proposal to extend the deadline for delivery a text on devices to reduce the risk of VRU impacts while moving in reverse gear (e.g. rear vision camera monitoring systems, detection system) from April 2019 to April 2020

Working draft submitted for information regarding a proposed new UN Regulation for the type approval of devices to improve driver awareness of vulnerable road users when performing reversing maneuvers. UN R46 contains provisions for indirect vision; this proposal seeks to expand the driver’s awareness, including visibility of VRU to the rear of the vehicle. Some requirements of this proposed regulation could be satisfied via approval under UN R46.

Proposal for Class IX devices to enable approval of front and lateral close-proximity passenger-side vision devices based upon current standards in Japan. The purpose is to address VRU safety risks on narrow roads and other conditions where cyclists and pedestrians must share the lane with vehicles. Please note that discussion of this proposal was deferred to a future meeting.

Proposal to measure rear vision visibility based upon 150 mm section on target poles (as opposed to measuring against entire 350 mm diameter of poles).
