Proposal for a new UN Regulation comprised of provisions concerning electronic stability control systems extracted from UN R13-H in order to facilitate work on the international whole vehicle type approval system.

Proposals to delineate the difference between corrective steering (driver assistance) and automatically commanded steering (automated driving) functions, clarify the definition of Complex Electronic Systems, require system deactivation when sensors are blocked, and to require indication of the level/version of software in use.

Proposals to clarify that references to “other road users” includes pedestrians and large animals and, with respect to ensuring the driver’s availability to assume control of the vehicle, a time frequency limit for driver monitoring systems based upon the time required to travel a distance of 1500 m with an upper limit of 180 seconds (i.e., the time required to travel 1500 m at 30 km/h).

Proposal for amendments to the provisions on Data Storage Systems for ACSF under the draft amendment to enable the use of automated steering systems at higher speeds under UN R79.

Presentation supporting changes proposed by Germany in document ACSF-06-05.

Presentation and supporting materials to facilitate discussion towards clarifying provisions on sensor range and monitoring of the vehicle environment.

Discussion of parameters to delineate corrective steering function (CSF) from automatically commanded steering function (ACSF) systems. The former refers to intermittent systems such as lane-keeping while the latter refers to systems in continuous control of the steering function.

Proposal to refine the language ensuring that drivers may override the ACSF system through deliberate action.

NTSEL study into the effect of automated steering on the level of driver alertness. The data suggests an increase in drowsiness as measured by blinking/eyelid closing rates.

Presentation of issues raised during discussions of the GRE Task Force on EMC requirements with regard to the application of several UN Regulations to trolley buses depending upon their configuration (e.g., dual-mode operation either connected to overhead cables or in standard bus mode).

Draft amendment pursuant to the 6th ACSF informal group session
