Proposal for Class VIII field of vision and provisions for sonar systems, including provisions for headrest position and draft text for transitional provisions under discussion with the VRU-Proxi Informal Working Group. This proposal introduces provisions for a full field of rear vision.

Proposal for Class VIII field of vision and provisions for sonar systems, including provisions for headrest position and draft text for transitional provisions under discussion as submitted to the April 2019 session of GRSG.

Text prepared by Japan 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 Regulation No. 46 for the April 2013 GRSG session.

OICA comments and questions regarding the proposal for Class VIII field of vision and provisions for sonar systems.

Summary presentation on performance requirements and main questions regarding the prevention of VRU collisions while moving in reverse.

Vulnerable road user casualties (pedestrians, pedal cyclists and motorcyclists), by severity, in accidents involving HGVs, LGVs, buses or coaches, cars which were reversing, in Great Britain, 2007-2017.

Germany is requesting GRSG guidance regarding the approval of CMS that adapt the field of view under certain conditions (e.g., to compensate when a vehicle and trailer combination moves along a curve).

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.

Presentation in support to Japan’s proposal to introduce approval option for close-poiximity VRU vision devices (document VRU-Proxi-08-12).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).

Proposal to introduce “temporary modified view” provisions per ISO 16505:2015 which describes a possibility for a field of view to be temporarily modified for special driving situations in order to compensate for limits of the static class II field of vision.

Proposal to define indication lines within the text to enable display of a combined continuous image in a monitor system.

Task force chair discussion presentation on “How to Reflect Revisions on Requirements for Backward Field of Vision – by Transcription or by Reference? Advantages and Disadvantages”.

Summary of discussions in the VRU-Proxi informal group on reversing detection and field of view.

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.

Proposal to introduce provisions for activation of a “temporary modified view” (such as change in image magnification or resolution) per ISO 16505:2015 to complement the static Class II field of vision using a Camera Monitoring System (CMS).

Proposal to enable the use of small indicative lines to assist the driver in discriminating among two or more fields of vision rendered as a combined continuous image on a display.

Proposal to allow for the approval of optical reflecting mirrors being introduced to the market in addition to the current spherical product.

Presentation in support of the proposal in document GRSG-117-16.

Proposal to correct a typo: “Class II to IV VI exterior device”

Proposal to align requirements for conventional mirrors and camera-monitor systems. In the latest revision (where mirror and CMS provisions were split into separate sections), the phrase “including those parts remaining attached to the
support after the test provided for in paragraph 6.3.2. below” was omitted from the CMS section.

Proposal to enable the use of small indicative lines to assist the driver in discriminating among two or more fields of vision rendered as a combined continuous image on a display.
