Proposal to introduce technical requirements for Corrective Steering Functions (lane departure prevention, lane-keeping assistance (LKAS), steering angle correction, etc.) as defined in the regulation. The proposal offers four options to ensure appropriate approvals of LKAS and related CSF systems until such time as more precise requirements can be defined:

• Option 1 and option 2: Not to grant any type approvals for corrective steering functions until detailed technical requirements for CSF are incorporated into this Regulation.
• Option 3: Amend the definition of CSF as proposed in this document.
• Option 4: Amend the definition of corrective steering functions and to include technical requirements for LKAS as an ASCF of Category B1 as proposed in this document.

OICA input on definition of corrective steering and automatically commanded steering functions.

Proposal towards defining corrective steering functions as a distinct function apart from automatically commanded steering functions.

Consideration of the borderline in distinguishing between corrective steering functions and automatically commanded steering functions towards defining requirements for the approval of automated steering systems.

Table of ACSF categories as defined by functions and requirements of the draft amendment to UN R79.

Breakdown of the requirements of the draft consolidated amendment (ACSF-06-28) for each category of ACSF.

The draft amendment to enable automated steering systems for use at speeds above 10 km/h includes provisions for a minimal risk maneuver (MRM) in the event that the driver fails to respond to a demand to assume control of the vehicle. This document proposes provisions for the automatic activation of hazard warning lights under an MRM scenario.

Proposal of provisions regarding the use of a type approval numbering system that includes information on the ACSF capabilities and software version.

Proposal of a research project to assist the ACSF informal group in the development of provisions for the approval of lane-keeping and lane-change assistance and other ACSF systems.

Proposal for new paragraphs in the draft ACSF amendment concerning provisions to ensure the system capacity to monitor and adapt to road conditions and the environment surrounding the vehicle in order to ensure safe behavior and minimize risks. This proposal replaces paragraphs in the previous document ACSF-06-28 based on the discussions of the 6th meeting and document ACSF-06-18 by OICA and CLEPA.

Draft procedure for lane-guidance assistance systems (category B1 ACSF).

Proposal for amendments to document ACSF-07-02.

Draft amendment pursuant to the 6th ACSF informal group session

NTSEL study into the effect of automated steering on the level of driver alertness. The data suggests an increase in drowsiness as measured by blinking/eyelid closing rates.

Proposal to refine the language ensuring that drivers may override the ACSF system through deliberate action.

Discussion of parameters to delineate corrective steering function (CSF) from automatically commanded steering function (ACSF) systems. The former refers to intermittent systems such as lane-keeping while the latter refers to systems in continuous control of the steering function.

Presentation and supporting materials to facilitate discussion towards clarifying provisions on sensor range and monitoring of the vehicle environment.

Presentation supporting changes proposed by Germany in document ACSF-06-05.

Proposal for amendments to the provisions on Data Storage Systems for ACSF under the draft amendment to enable the use of automated steering systems at higher speeds under UN R79.

Proposals to clarify that references to “other road users” includes pedestrians and large animals and, with respect to ensuring the driver’s availability to assume control of the vehicle, a time frequency limit for driver monitoring systems based upon the time required to travel a distance of 1500 m with an upper limit of 180 seconds (i.e., the time required to travel 1500 m at 30 km/h).

Proposals to delineate the difference between corrective steering (driver assistance) and automatically commanded steering (automated driving) functions, clarify the definition of Complex Electronic Systems, require system deactivation when sensors are blocked, and to require indication of the level/version of software in use.

Proposal to remove certain design restrictions that impede the application of new technologies, especially related to trailer power steering systems and the use of energy from the towing vehicle, including specification of the connector through which electrical energy is supplied in the proposal. This proposal also replaces references to rear-view mirrors with the term “indirect vision devices” to reflect the addition of camera-monitor systems to UN R46 and clarifies the references to Regulation No. 10 on electromagnetic compatibility requirements.
