Concurrent 6th EDR-DSSAD informal group session.

Proposal by the experts from the Informal Working Group on Advanced Emergency Braking Systems (AEBS) for vehicles of Categories M1 and N1 in order to improve the Appendix 2 Annex 3 for assessing robustness against false reaction, to introduce new provisions for automatic deactivation of AEBS, and to improve the text in other instances.

Proposal by the experts from the Informal Working Group (IWG) on Advanced Emergency Braking Systems (AEBS) for vehicles of Categories M₁ and N₁ to introduce provisions for car-to-bicycle scenario in a single step approach. (Alternatively, the IWG has prepared proposals for a two-step approach to introducing the new requirements. GRVA is therefore requested to make a decision on whether car-to-bicycle should be introduced in a single step or in a two-step approach.)

Proposal by the experts from the Informal Working Group on Advanced Emergency Braking Systems (AEBS) for vehicles of Categories M₁ and N₁ to introduce provisions for car-to-bicycle scenario as the second step of a two-step approach. (The IWG has prepared a separate proposal for the first step in this two-step approach. GRVA is therefore requested to make a decision on whether car-to-bicycle should be introduced in a single step or in a two-step approach.)

Proposal by the experts from the Informal Working Group on Advanced Emergency Braking Systems (AEBS) for vehicles of Categories M₁ and N₁ to introduce provisions for the car-to-bicycle scenario as the first step of a two-step approach. (The IWG has prepared a separate document for the second step of this two-step approach. Alternatively, the IWG has prepared a proposal for a single (all-in-one) approach. GRVA is requested therefore to make a decision on whether car-to-bicycle should be introduced in a single step or in a two-step approach.)

Proposal to clarify that the AEBS may be automatically deactivated in the event that the electronic stability control system is deactivated.
