Proposal to clarify that the tolerance for the speed of the pedestrian dummy crossing the vehicle path is 0.4 km/h across all the series of amendments.

This document presents activities in China on a testing methodology for traffic rule compliance by ADS-equipped vehicles. The document addresses safety risks from inconsistent adherence to traffic regulations and proposes that ADS shall comply with traffic rules applicable to the dynamic driving task in the country of operation, applying the same rules as human drivers. It describes 12 core driving tasks categorized into safety, operation, and interaction clusters, 398 evaluation criteria, and 4 traffic elements. The methodology integrates virtual simulation, closed-site testing, and real-road testing to verify ADS compliance with traffic rules comprehensively within the operational design domain and in critical scenarios.

Proposal to update the declaration of compliance and Certificate of Compliance models to communicate the relevant series of amendments to ensure alignment between the management systems and the corresponding requirements of UN R156.

Proposals to resolve issues with accepting the approval of M₂, M₃ and N₂ vehicles to Regulation No. 152.

Proposal to enable the application of UN R11 to ADS vehicles.

Paragraph 5.41 of the proposed amendment to UN Regulation No. 48 introduces a requirement for a physical test drive to verify that an Automated Driving System (ADS) can correctly operate all lighting and light-signalling functions without causing discomfort. While OICA fully supports the objective of ensuring safety and proper functioning of lighting systems under ADS control, we believe this requirement is unnecessary and duplicative in the context of the forthcoming UN Regulation on Automated Driving Systems (ADS Regulation).
