OICA comments on Japan’s proposal and supporting justification for a new regulation on lane-keeping assistance systems (documents GRRF-74-40 and GRRF-74-41).

Questions raised by OICA in response to the German proposal to clarify electrical braking system and energy supply line requirements with regard to towed trailers, including proposals for voltage specifications and inclusion of electro-hydraulic transmission devices within such systems.

Proposal to clarify approval requirements for vehicles and trailers equipped with anti-lock braking systems with regard to the braking compatibility of towing and towed vehicles, including between ABS and compressed-air braking systems. The proposal revises Annexes 10 and 13 of the regulation.

Proposal to transfer brake assist systems provisions out of UN Regulation 13-H and into a new stand-alone regulation. The proposal arises from a perceived need to simplify UN R13-H to facilitate its application within the proposed international whole vehicle type approval.

Proposal to transfer electronic stability control systems provisions out of UN Regulation 13-H and into a new stand-alone regulation. The proposal arises from a perceived need to simplify UN R13-H to facilitate its application within the proposed international whole vehicle type approval.

Proposal to delete references to electronic control systems and brake assist systems within UN R13-H in order to simplify use of the regulation within the proposed international whole vehicle type approval regulation. These provisions would be taken up by new separate UN Regulations.

Proposal to improve the definition of “identical” parts as applied to replacement brake discs and drums and to introduce an “identical” part definition for brake linings.

OICA’s remaining concerns over the proposal to refine the definition of “identical” discs and drums and to extend this to brake linings.

Correction to document GRRF/2013/12 to clarify the intent to specify that a vehicle must be equipped with ISO 7638 or an automated connector (ACV) or both.

Comments on the text prepared by the Italy to modify GTR No. 3 provisions concerning the sharing of components within combined braking systems (CBS) in order to adapt to technological progress.

Comments on the proposed series of amendments to clarify a variety of requirements, notably concerning test surface requirements, ABS cycling, and peak braking coefficient measurements, in GTR No. 3.

Proposal to clarify the text of the regulation.

Comments on the text prepared by the International Motorcycle Manufacturers Association (IMMA) to modify provisions concerning the sharing of components within combined braking systems (CBS) in order to adapt to technological progress.

Comments on the proposed series of amendments to clarify a variety of requirements, notably concerning test surface requirements, ABS cycling, and peak braking coefficient measurements in UN R78.

Presentation to further discussions on Japan’s proposal to establish a new UN Regulation on lane-keeping assistance systems.

Joint invitation by Sweden and Japan to an ad hoc meeting to discuss the possibility of amendment Regulation No. 79 to introduce provisions of lane-keeping assistance and other corrective steering systems.

Proposal to correct typographical errors in Corrigendum 2 to Revision 7 of UN R13 wherein the symbols s, s’ and s_o were erroneously transcribed.

Suggested changes to the proposal to introduce the concept of “revision of approvals” into the UN Regulations under GRRF responsibility in order to align the UN Regulations with the EU Whole Vehicle Type Approval Directive 2007/46/EC.

Proposal to require a vehicle sticker showing a diagram of the brake reference forces to facilitate their use in periodic technical inspections.

Presentation of issues regarding the UN R13-H provisions on complex electronic control (CEL) systems and the proposals to separate electronic stability controls (ESC) and brake assist systems (BAS) from the light vehicle braking regulation. Since ESC and BAS are subject to CEL provisions, this raises a question on how best to apply CEL across what would be three separate regulations (13-H, ESC, and BAS).

Revisions to document GRRF/2013/28 intended to simplify the transitional provisions.

Responses to document GRRF-75-19 detailing OICA’s remaining concerns over the proposal to refine the definition of “identical” discs and drums and to extend this to brake linings.

Proposal to insert missing item in the table of contents.

Corrections to the proposed series of amendments to clarify a variety of requirements, notably concerning test surface requirements, ABS cycling, and peak braking coefficient measurements in UN R78.
