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.

No vehicles have received certification under UN R175-00/01. The document lists representative ACPE-equipped vehicle models from various manufacturers and markets, detailing their sensor configurations, target objects, and operation speed ranges. Sensor types include ultrasonic sonar, monocular camera, stereo camera, and milli-wave radar. Target objects are stationary objects and pedestrians. Vehicles exhibit variation in forward and rearward equipment and low-speed braking function inclusion. Performance definitions differ by OEM and are not directly comparable across manufacturers or to UN R175 requirements.

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.

The draft document identifies potential research questions for ACPE (Acceleration Control for Pedal Error) systems across three categories: basic data collection on system specifications and cost-benefit analysis; performance requirements and test procedures; and human factors analysis. Research priorities include surveying existing ACPE technologies, analyzing accident data and system costs, establishing control philosophy, defining triggering conditions, and investigating pedal misapplication.

Proposal to insert initialisation provision: “If ACPE is not ready to perform an intervention 6 s after the initiation of the vehicle powertrain, information of this status shall be indicated to the driver. This information shall exist until the system has been successfully initialised.”

Proposal to insert initialisation provision: “If ACPE is not ready to perform an intervention 6 s after the initiation of the vehicle powertrain, information of this status shall be indicated to the driver. This information shall exist until the system has been successfully initialised.”

Proposal to include provisions for the approval of ACPE for vehicles of Category N1 and to introduce additional performance requirements for additional scenarios.

Proposal to align the original text with the 01 series of amendments concerning initialisation: “If [the] ACPE is not ready to perform an intervention 6 s after the initiation of the vehicle powertrain, information of this status shall be indicated to the driver. This information shall exist until the system has been successfully
initialised.”

Proposal to extend the scope to include N₁ category vehicles.

Proposal to introduce a status indicator in the event that the ACPE is not ready to intervene within the six-second time limit after the initiation of the vehicle powertrain (in alignment with the 01 series).
