Document GRSG/2015/8 proposes to amend the provisions on forward field of vision of drivers in UN R125 to promote and to support the installation of camera-monitor devices on vehicles of category M1. This proposal would clarify that the amendment only applies to regulated devices for indirect vision.

Document GRSG/2015/9 would amend the provisions of UN R10 on electromagnetic compatibility to include camera-monitor devices newly defined under UN R46. This proposal aims to clarify that the amendment applies only to regulated devices for indirect vision (UN R46) so as not to be confused with other devices for indirect vision already included within the scope of UN R10.

This proposal aims to clarify that surveillance mirrors can be mounted below 2 meters from the ground when integrated in a housing including one or several mirrors of classes II or III.

Proposal to add information reporting requirements for type approval of camera-monitor systems of classes I to IV to the proposal for a Supplement to the 04 series of amendments to UN R46 (document GRSG/2015/2).

Paper from the Electronic Displays Conference held in Nuremberg during the 25-26 February 2015.

Password-protected copy of ISO standard 16505: Road Vehicles — Ergonomic and performance aspects of Camera Monitor Systems — Requirements and test procedures. Participants in GRSG work may contact the GRSG secretariat for access.

OICA comments on the draft text introducing camera-monitor systems (CMS) provisions.

Amendments to document GRSG/2015/2 as agreed during the 8th CMS II informal working group session.

UN R107 includes a provision to prevent a folding seat used by the crew from obstructing the view of the exterior rear-view mirror. In light of the proposed amendment to introduce camera-monitor systems into UN R46 (indirect vision), this proposal would extend the same treatment to CMS used in the place of rear view mirrors.

Proposal to align UN R94 with the draft amendment to add camera-monitor systems to UN R46 (i.e., document GRSG/2015/2). Under UN R94, the measurement for the 40% overlap between the vehicle and crash barrier excludes external rear-view mirrors. This proposal would extend the same treatment where the mirror has been replaced by an exterior camera.

Proposal to adapt UN R79 in line with the proposed addition of camera-monitor systems to UN R46 (indirect vision). UN R79 refers to external mirrors in test procedures involving the vehicle turning circle. This proposal replaces the reference to mirrors with a broader reference to “indirect vision devices” that includes CMS.

Proposal to ensure that all devices for indirect vision, including exterior cameras, are covered by UN R61. This proposal is part of a package of proposals to update various regulations impacted by the proposed amendment to enable the replacement of rear-view mirrors by camera-monitor systems.

Proposal to treat camera-monitor systems the same as rear-view mirrors under UN R26 in view of the amendment to UN R46 to enable the replacement of rear-view mirrors by CMS (i.e., document GRSG/2015/2).

Proposal to align UN Regulation No. 10 with the proposed amendments to Regulation No. 46 (document GRSG/2015/2) to enable the replacement rear-view mirrors by camera-monitor systems. This proposal is also subject to the consent of the Working Party on Lighting and Light-Signalling (GRE).

Proposal to modify UN R125 in line with the proposed amendment to UN R46 (indirect vision) that introduces the use of camera-monitor systems (CMS) in place of rear-view mirrors (i.e., document GRSG/2015/2). This proposal is part of a package of proposals to amend the UN Regulations impacted by the amendment to UN R46 and would extend the provisions for rear-view mirrors to CMS devices.

Proposal by the Informal Group on Camera-Monitor Systems (IGCMS-II) to introduce the optional replacement of mirrors of Classes I to IV by camera-monitor systems.

Draft of the formal proposal (working document) to introduce camera-monitor systems into UN R46 for submission to the GRSP.

The present working document incorporates vehicles with conventional propulsion. To adopt all current propulsion systems, like EV’s, the text is modified accordingly by including a reference to the “vehicle master control switch” in addition to the conventional ignition switch.

Proposal to align the UN regulation on frontal impact (UN R94) with the proposed amendment to UN R46 that would enable the type approval of camera-monitor systems in place of rear-view mirrors. The proposal would have exterior CMS treated identically as exterior rear-view mirrors presently are under UN R94.

Proposal to align UN R10 with the amendment to UN R46 that would enable the type approval of camera-monitor systems in place of rear-view mirrors. The amendment would replace the reference to rear-view mirrors with “devices for indirect vision” including CMS.

This proposal of the IGCMS-II amends the provisions on steering equipment according Regulation 79 to include vehicles equipped with devices for indirect vision such as camera-monitor devices. Various steering effort test provisions depend on the turning circle which currently excludes external mirrors. The text is amended to exclude as well external camera’s for camera-monitor devices. The proposal would replace the reference to rear-view mirrors with the term “devices for indirect vision” to encompass exterior CMS devices.

This proposal of the IGCMS-II amends the provisions on the category M2 or M3 vehicles with regard to their general construction according Regulation 107 to include vehicles equipped with devices for indirect vision such as camera-monitor devices. A folding seat for use by the crew, in position of use and when folded, may not obstruct the driver’s view on the exterior rear-view mirror. This also applies for the view on the monitor used for camera-monitor devices, if fitted.

This study compared and assessed camera-monitor systems and conventional exterior mirrors in test drives and static tests under different external conditions. The assessments include the examination of technical aspects and of issues pertaining to the design of human-machine interaction.
