Announcement of task force establishment, organization, and meeting plans towards developing a proposal for the assessment and approval of deployable exterior pedestrian safety systems (e.g., active bonnet).

Proposal to add references to the steering gear provisions of UN R137 (full width frontal impact) as a compliance alternative in addition to the current references requiring compliance with similar provisions in UN R94 (offset deformable barrier frontal impact).

Proposal to correct figure 2 in Annex 1B to show the referenced zones A and B, to add sentence “Non-rigid material of < 50 Shore A hardness may be removed in order to demonstrate that covered or padded rigid parts are not contacted by the head or the chest of the manikin during the test.”, and to make editorial improvements.
