OICA-CLEPA proposals for improvement of the draft text pursuant to open issues from the previous ACSF informal group session.

German proposal concerning performance requirements for rear and side view assistance systems defined as “a system that provides assistance to the driver in monitoring a defined area to the rear and to the side of the ACSF vehicle by the use of means (e.g. Radar, Lidar, Camera) whereby the driver remains in the full responsibility to surveil the traffic behind and beside the ACSF vehicle.”

Netherlands proposal for incorporating the UN Regulation on software systems (under development within the Cybersecurity/OTA task force) into UN Regulation No. 79 on steering. UN R79 is being updated to address the approval of automated steering functions. This document is a version of the regulation with a new paragraph 5.1.11.: “The performance of the steering system shall not be adversely affected by the software present in the system. This shall be demonstrated by compliance with the technical requirements and transitional provisions of Regulation No. X[Software Regulations], series of amendments or any later series of amendments.”

OICA-CLEPA perspectives on the definition and use of Category C lane-change systems, especially emphasizing the need for human supervision (SAE Level 2 automation).

Japanese proposal for false positive testing of automated emergency steering systems.

Proposal based on document ACSF-12-12.

Revised proposal based upon document ACSF-12-11.

European Commission responses to document ACSF-13-04.

Proposal first presented to the ACSF informal group for a type-approval mechanism to control for updates to software dependent systems.

Working draft proposal concerning the approval of automated lane-change systems where the automated maneuver is initiated by a deliberate action of the driver (e.g., activation of direction indicator).

Draft proposal for an automated steering function to detect a potential collision and steer the vehicle in order to avoid or mitigate the impact.

Discussion of requirements for minimum distance from approaching vehicles for a safe automated lane-change maneuver.

Results of the April Amsterdam meeting to understand boundary conditions for rearward detection radar systems (essential to Category C lane-change ACSF).

OICA revision of the German/Japan draft text for Category C1 ACSF.

Presentation of concept for test procedures and performance requirements for the assessment of automated steering as a collision avoidance/mitigation countermeasure.

Presentation of technical capabilities and constraints for radar systems.

Proposal of 2.5 seconds for return to original lane after aborted lane change with 48.6-meter rearward sensing range (34.7-meter minimum distance for 2.5 seconds plus one second safety margin).

Proposal to delete obsolete paragraphs and amend the target completion date for the informal group’s work from September 2017 to September 2018.

Presentation on the detection of the range of a vehicle approaching from behind a vehicle operating under automatically commanded steering (e.g., detection of a fast approaching vehicle in order to avoid a dangerous lane change).

ACSF informal group working document on requirements for Category C ACSF systems based upon the proposals submitted by Germany and Japan.

Presentation addressing

• 2 Step Initiation (by two deliberate actions)
• Monitoring to the rear and to the side
• Restriction to a designated infrastructure
• Hands On during lane change manouevre

OICA concern over the provision whereby a Category B1 system can only be reactivated by a deliberate action of the driver after the system has been switched off. This provision could be problematic should lane-keeping systems become mandatory to the extent that it could be interpreted as meaning that the system cannot be “default-on” after such a manual deactivation.

Corrected version of the presentation delivered in January 2017.

Copy of document GRRF-81-14. Presentation on French government views on the approval of automated steering at speeds above 10 km/h under UN Regulation No. 79. The principle recommendation is to restrict amendments to UN R79 to lateral vehicle control as speeds above 10 km/h while setting other work on more advanced capabilities (longitudinal + latitudinal, lane change, passing, etc.) for future separate regulations.
