Proposal to modify provisions for system boundaries, driver disengagement detection, manoeuvre initiation, and risk mitigation functions. Changes include clarifications on visual engagement assessment, headway configuration warnings, and driver unavailability response procedures. Amendments address system behaviour at boundary conditions, lane change manoeuvre protocols, and documentation requirements. Test procedures are updated regarding bicycle target positioning and terminology. Manufacturing processes for safety management during vehicle operation are added. Documentation definitions and simulation model criticality assessments are clarified.

Proposal to establish a Supplement to the 01 series of amendments to UN Regulation No. 171 on Driver Control Assistance Systems. The amendments modify technical requirements for system boundaries, driver disengagement detection, manoeuvre initiation, and driver unavailability response. New definitions for “Target Lane” and “Highway-like road” are introduced. Changes address system behaviour at boundary conditions, visual engagement criteria, and hands-off request withholding on highway-like roads. Testing and documentation requirements are revised to clarify Type Approval Authority responsibilities and manufacturer safety management processes during the operation phase.

The ADAS task force reviewed draft amendments to UN Regulation No. 171. The task force agreed on editorial corrections to the 02 series of amendments for a formal submission to the June WP.29 session. CLEPA submitted three clarification proposals for the 02 series to be addressed via supplement if needed. Draft supplements to the original version and 01 series were introduced for GRVA consideration. The TF agreed to take a break before initiating Phase 4 development work and invited stakeholders to submit written proposals on future developments.

The previous session report was approved with a note on post-crash recording intervals. A DSSAD Guidance Document feedback deadline was set for month-end. Phase 2 discussions on near-miss events require clarification of concepts and their safety contributions. For EDR Step 2, a 10 Hz sampling rate was adopted over 2 Hz following opposition from industry regarding implementation burden and support from regulatory bodies for accident reconstruction needs. Outstanding discussion items will be consolidated into a working document. Terms of Reference discussions on maintaining current structure versus integrating DSSAD into the ADS Informal Working Group will continue. The May 12 meeting was rescheduled due to conflict with ESV Toronto.

This document presents draft amendments to UN Regulation No. 169 for the EDR Step 2 workstream. It defines non-volatile memory as permanent EDR data storage retained after power loss, and volatile memory as temporary buffering that does not retain data. Requirements specify that EDRs capture and record data to non-volatile memory when triggered, with capacity for at least five events. Trigger conditions include sudden deceleration exceeding 3.25 m/s² for 0.7 seconds and vehicle stops at 0 km/h for 20 seconds. An amendment allows certain stop events to be recorded in volatile memory first, transferring to non-volatile memory when other triggers occur or the master switch deactivates, reducing memory wear in vehicles with frequent stops.

The Subgroup on EDR held a conference call to discuss Event Data Recorder Step 2 specifications. Key discussions included: AEB trigger recording intervals, with agreement on -2.5 to 2.5 seconds; ADDW and DDAW data elements referred to GRSG with competing proposals in square brackets; DCAS data elements with unresolved differences between industry and UK proposals on recording intervals and frequency; time to collision (TTC) deferred to Step 3; engine throttle deletion deferred pending further consideration; transitional provisions with industry proposing 2031 implementation versus EC’s 2029; and EDR for ADS requiring further development. Memory definitions for R169 and R160 were agreed upon.

Proposal to amend UN R10 to enable application to Automated Driving System (ADS) vehicles, including new paragraphs defining ADS requirements, test configurations, and immunity-related functions. Changes address vehicles without drivers or manual controls, establish ADS test procedures for laboratory environments, and specify equipment operation during testing. Amendments cover electromagnetic compatibility testing requirements, failure criteria, and documentation standards for ADS-equipped vehicles.

The Informal Working Group on Advanced Emergency Braking System held its first session on 22 April 2026. Focus was confirmed on passenger cars of category M₁ and light vehicles under UN Regulation 152, with heavy vehicles explicitly excluded. The group’s Terms of Reference outline five core tasks. A meeting timeline from April 2026 to September 2028 was proposed, with delivery of an amendments proposal on UN Regulation 152 by September 2028. The co-Chairs called for accidentology data from all Contracting Parties.

The GRSG-TF-AVRS held an online meeting to review open items for submission to GRSG-131. Decisions included removing a proposal for R39, amending R43 regarding windscreen definitions, adopting amendments to R46, R151, R159, R166, R167.00, and R167.01, and adopting changes to R61, R73.01, and R73.02. No further meetings were scheduled before GRSG-131 in April 2026. OICA, UK, and France volunteered to present documents at the session.
