Working draft of the informal working group on Camera-Monitor Systems under preparation to introduce type-approval provisions for the use of CMS in place of conventional rear view mirrors.

Proposal to add field-of-vision provisions to enhance the safety of pedestrians and other vulnerable road users in narrow alleys and by-streets and other improvements to UN R46.

Report of the third meeting of the expert group working on an amendment to enable the type approval of camera-monitor systems in place of rear-view mirrors.

Presentation on current positions for allowed and disallowed configurations of rear-view monitor systems and OICA proposal for regulatory language.

Presentation reviewing ISO 16505 treatment of overlays, comparison of UN R46 Annex 12 current proposals with ISO 16505, and a new OICA proposal.

Working draft of Annex 12 on functional safety requirements under development by the Informal Group on Camera-Monitor Systems for introduction into UN R46 to enable the replacement of rear-view mirrors with CMS devices.

Explanation of pixel fault testing. Pixel faults arise erratically across production and cannot be directly quantified by testing product samples. Moreover, pixel faults are a problem only when they affect visual perceptions of the driver. Therefore, the testing needs to determine the probability for a “disturbing” disruption of the image that could significantly interfere with a driver’s perception of the image.

Proposal for pixel fault (white and dark blemish) testing of monitors in camera-monitor systems.

Review of the latest amendments to UN Regulation 46 as adopted by WP.29 through its March 2014 meetings which have not yet been fully incorporated into the IGCMS working draft to amend UN R46 with regard to camera-monitor systems.

Review of ISO 16505 and applicability to type approval under UN R46 as amended for camera-monitor systems (Annex 12).

Review of justifications for proposed specifications.

Second part of a presentation on BASt research into the configurations and use of camera-monitor systems, covering:
- Analysis of Gaze Behaviour
- Study on Farsightedness

Proposal to add field-of-vision provisions to enhance the safety of pedestrians and other vulnerable road users in narrow alleys and by-streets and other improvements to UN R46. This document replaces documents GRSG/2013/5 and its Corrigendum 1.

Adaptation of ISO 13406-2 to camera-monitor systems for vehicle rear vision, proposing a visual inspection for bright and stuck pixels on the monitor screen.

Working draft of the proposed amendment to introduce provisions for the approval of camera-monitor systems as replacements for conventional rear-view mirrors pursuant to discussions during the 2nd CMS-II informal working group session.

Proposed changes to the working draft of the amendment (document CMS II-01-02/Rev.1) to introduce camera-monitor systems into the regulation on indirect vision devices (UN R46) pursuant to decisions taken during recent sessions of the Working Party on General Safety (GRSG).

Overlays are rendered over the main image presented by a monitor to convey information to the driver. This presentation discusses questions and concerns over the use of overlays in rear vision camera-monitor systems.

At night, conventional mirrors reflect headlamps and similar light sources as points of light. This presentation reviews evaluations of camera-monitor systems in rendering point light sources compared against conventional exterior rear-view mirrors and methods for laboratory testing of their performance.

Proposals concerning the location of rear-view camera-monitor devices as replacements for conventional exterior rear-view mirrors.

Presentation on the results of driver evaluations of conventional exterior rear-view mirrors compared with camera-monitor systems.

Draft Proposal for Regulation No. 46 Annex 12, Appendix 3 on special requirements to be applied to the safety aspects of camera-monitor systems for indirect vision.

Proposed amendments to introduce provisions for camera-monitor systems (CMS) as indirect vision devices in place of conventional mirrors. This document provides a table of changes to Annex 12 of the working draft proposal to amend UN R46 (document CMS II-01-02/Rev.1) and their justifications

Editorial corrections to document CMS II-01-02/Rev.1 (draft of amendments to UN R46 to enable the approval of camera-monitor systems as indirect vision devices in place of conventional mirrors.

Proposal to require automatic mirrors to unfold automatically when the vehicle reaches a speed higher than 10 km/h. The concern is to address certain mirrors designed not to unfold at speeds up to 45 km/h.

Proposal to introduce, for special cases, adjustments to the coordinates of the ocular points used to check compliance with the required field of vision provided by the rear-view mirrors.. The proposal would align the definition of the “driver’s ocular points” with that of Regulation No. 125 (forward vision) as also used in EC Directive 2003/97/EC as amended by Directive 2005/27/EC. This document is based on informal document GRSG-105-19.

Brief note on the outcomes of the first session of the expert group developing language to enable the type approval of camera monitor systems as a replacement for conventional rear view mirrors.

Overview of the work on the ISO 16505 international standard intended to define minimum safety, ergonomic and performance requirements for Camera-Monitor-Systems to replace mandatory inside and outside rear-view mirrors for road vehicles (e.g. Classes I to IV as defined in ECE-R 46).

Brief notations from the first session of the expert group developing type-approval requirements for camera-monitor systems for vehicle rear (indirect) vision.

Text drafted by Germany to introduce camera-monitor systems into the regulation on indirect vision devices, including for use in place of conventional mirrors, pursuant to discussions during the first session of the informal working group.

List of participants from the February 5-6 2014 session of the reconstituted expert group on camera-monitor systems.

Initial draft of the amendments that would enable type approval of camera-monitoring systems in the place of convention rear-view mirrors presented as a consolidated version of UN R46. This draft is based upon the earlier proposal that was set aside pending work on related ISO standards (i.e. document GRSG/2011/23/Rev.1.).
