Proposal for transitional provisions for inclusion in UN R79 – (ECE/TRANS/WP29/2017/10, as amended by WP29-171-06). In the interests of moving quickly, the ACSF informal group agreed to submit the initial amendments to UN R79 as a supplement. The proposed Supplement 6 to the 01 series of amendments (documents WP.29/2017/10 and WP.29-171-06) introduce requirements for corrective steering functions (CSF) and A and B1 categories of automatically commanded steering functions (ACSF). This approach included an agreement to ensure that existing approvals and their subsequent extensions won’t be affected by the new technical requirements given that the aim of the supplement is to regulate new systems coming to market, not to impact systems already on the market (see document GRRF-83-21 for complete background).

Amendments from the ACSF informal group to its proposal (document WP.29/2017/10) to enable the type approval of corrective steering functions and Category B1 automated steering systems (e.g., remote parking, continuous lane keeping).

Supporting argument in favor of developing provisions for the approval of category C automated steering systems.

Proposal for amendments to the draft amendment to introduce provisions for corrective steering and category A and B1 automatically commanded steering functions (ACSF) into UN Regulation No. 79 as agreed during the 83rd GRRF session, including the proposal to allow for the approval of systems that do not comply with the mandatory use of the color red for the “hands off” steering wheel warning symbol (introduced by this amendment) until 1 April 2020 for consideration by the World Forum.

Proposal for amendments to the draft amendment to introduce provisions for corrective steering and category A and B1 automatically commanded steering functions (ACSF) into UN Regulation No. 79 as agreed during the 83rd GRRF session.

Proposal to clarify the intent of “a means of detecting that the driver is holding the steering control” by specifying that the vehicle manufacturer would define “holding the steering control” (e.g., one hand, two hands, firmness of grip, etc.) for each vehicle/system under test.

Revised proposal, pursuant to GRRF-83 discussions, to amend the annex on complex electronic systems, in particular, to require auditing of the methodologies used to ensure system safety at both concept and system level.

Proposal for a harmonized symbol with option for explanatory text to signify a request for and status of the driver’s hands on the steering wheel when the vehicle is in an ACSF mode.

Revised set of amendments to improve and clarify the draft amendment to UN R79 for introduction of provisions for corrective steering and ACSF category A and B1 systems. In particular, the revised document seeks consensus on symbols and interaction between the system and driver, including specifications for notifications related to the status the driver’s hands on the wheel.

Document GRRF-83-08 proposes modifications to document WP.29/2017/10 proposing amendments to UN R79 to enable the approval of corrective steering and category A and B1 automated steering systems (ACSF).

Comments concerning the clarity and utility of certain provisions in the proposal to amend the annex on complex electronic systems.

OICA request for confirmation that:

• the provisions for CSF, ACSF A and ACSF B1 will be introduced via a new supplement 06 to the current series of amendments to UN R79;
• the vehicles approved prior to the introduction of the new supplement will not be required to comply with it, even in case of an extension.

OICA comments and questions regarding the EC proposal to amend the UN R79 annex on complex electronic systems to require auditing of methodologies used to ensure system safety at both concept and system level.

ACSF informal group revisions to the proposal to introduce corrective steering and B1 level (lane-keeping) automatically commanded steering functions provisions into UN R79. The proposal substantially revises the corrective steering test procedure, providing greater clarity over the procedure and requirements, and makes editorial corrections.

Proposal for category C automated steering requirements.

OICA-CLEPA proposals for amendments to the draft corrective steering/ACSF B1 amendments to UN R79 (revisions to GRRF-82-12/Rev.3 approved at GRRF-82 and subsequently submitted for the March 2017 WP.29 session as WP.29/2017/10).

Proposal to introduce corrective steering and B1 level ACSF type approval provisions into UN R79. This proposal would enable the approval of corrective steering and lane-keeping assist systems in addition to current provisions for automated steering functions that operate at speeds up to 10 km/h.
