Draft proposal for submission to the March 2018 WP.29 session requesting authorization to pursue:

1. Revision of UN Regulations as warranted with regard to facilitation of vehicle technical inspections,
2. Development of inspection countermeasures against tampering (target: June 2019),

Report on the development of AEBS requirements for light vehicles, including a note on the intention to seek GRRF approval for a new regulation on M₁/N₁ vehicle AEBS separate from the current UN R131 on heavy-duty vehicle AEBS.

OICA counter-proposal to address the German concern over manual deactivations of AEB systems. The original document (GRRF/2017/24) proposed automatic reactivation of the AEBS when the vehicle speed exceeds 30 km/h. OICA proposes reactivation after 15 minutes of continuous operation at a speed above 70 km/h.

Draft of an Annex 5 to the Cybersecurity Recommendations Paper as revised during the TFCS ad hoc session presenting a proposal for a type approval regulation, based upon the format of UN Regulation No. 133 on vehicle recyclability. A clean version of this proposal is also available.

Germany proposed, in document GRRF/2017/24, to require automatic reactivation of a manually deactivated automatic braking system. One concern with the proposal invoked the need for prolonged deactivation under certain circumstances, such as when a vehicle is fitted temporarily with a snow plow. This proposal would explicitly require AEBS to be capable of detecting a blocked sensor (already implicit in the regulation) such that AEBS would not reactivate in such cases.

Summary of discussions within GRRF regarding the development of a regulation for the approval of light-vehicle AEBS.

Clean version of the draft paper prepared by the group secretary for review by the task force.
