Proposal to extend the mandate of the DDADWS informal group until October 2028 to enable development of new (01) series of amendments to the original texts of the driver drowsiness and driver distraction warning systems regulations.

The initial regulations for Driver Drowsiness and Attention Warning and Advanced Driver Distraction Warning systems were adopted at GRSG-130 and WP.29-198. DDADWS is developing 01 series regulations, with workshops and online meetings planned. The group seeks a mandate extension to October 2028 to complete 01 series development, with proposed submission for approval to GRSG-136.

Proposal for a new type-approval regulation concerning vehicles equipped with systems designed to detect prolonged distraction of the driver’s visual focus away from the driving task and issue warnings if such distraction events are detected (based on European Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2023/2590).

Programme for the DDAWS workshop.

Proposal for amendments to the working documents ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRSG/2025/51

Proposal for amendments to working document GRSG/2025/51, This proposal is aimed at allowing the certification for peculiar vehicle architectures (e.g.
high-performance vehicles), where generally the “R” point of the driver seat is not more than 450 mm from ground level. High-performance vehicles have peculiar characteristics. For instance, in order to reduce the aerodynamic drag the frontal surface is reduced. This leads to specific architectural solutions such as thinner and very tilted “A” pillar, smaller field of view, low volume cabin compartment, compared to mass-market vehicles. As a consequence, for high performance vehicles:
