Proposed changes to the draft amendments to UN R79 concerning ACSF B1 systems. The proposed new wording for the triggering condition of the warning (“any front tyre of the vehicle is crossing the lane marking”) is technically more specific than the original (“the vehicle is going to leave the lane”). The use of a haptic signal as an alternative to the acoustic signal achieves the goal pursued by Germany. This proposal is consistent with the warning strategy of AEBS specified in UN R131. In the case of M2 M3 N2 N3 vehicle categories, it is proposed to take as a base the requirements specified in UN R130 LDWS regulation, which achieves the goal.

Explanatory presentation on document GRRF-82-08.

Proposal to amend the annex on complex electronic systems, in particular, to require auditing of the methodologies used to ensure system safety at both concept and system level. Concept level specifically requires consideration of interaction with other vehicle systems.

Proposal of updated objectives and timelines for the work of the ACSF informal group.

Proposal to amend the consolidated draft amendment to UN R79 to introduce technical requirements for Corrective Steering Functions and Level B1 ACSF under UN R79 (document GRRF/2016/45).

Updated version of the draft amendment to introduce provisions for corrective steering and Category B1 ACSF into UN R79 based upon discussions held during the afternoon GRRF session of 21 September.

Updated version of the proposal to introduce corrective steering and B1 level ACSF provisions into UN R79 prepared pursuant to discussions held among interested parties following the afternoon GRRF session on 21 September.

Updated version of the proposal to introduce corrective steering and B1 level ACSF provisions into UN R79 as agreed by the GRRF during its September 2016 session.

Updated terms of reference for the automated steering informal group as agreed during the September 2016 GRRF session.

Presentation concerning the inability to test O₃ recreation vehicle trailers equipped with electric braking systems for type approval certification under UN R13.

Overview of special interest group discussions on replacement brake discs and drums, as well as on replacement brake pads and calipers (especially remanufactured).

Report as approved by the group delegates.

Presentation on trial runs of the proposed test procedures for evaluating automated steering systems under UN R79.

Proposal from GRRF to correct document WP.29/2016/114 (proposal to align UN R78 with other braking regulations as regards anti-lock braking systems and to clarify the limits on the use of any temporary ABS deactivation switch and prohibition against permanent disabling of ABS if fitted on a motorcycle. Under (e), the correct reference to the paragraph GTR No. 3 should read 5.1.13. The correct reference under f) to the previous points should be (a) to (e) instead of (a) to (f).

Proposal to develop an amendment in order to align GTR No. 3 with technical progress, addressing among others: ensuring electromagnetic immunity of ABS-systems, introducing ABS performance requirements for category 3-5 vehicles (three-wheelers), ensuring uniform requirements for equipment such as Electronic Stop Signal System and the means to disable the ABS, if equipped. This amendment aims to harmonize GTR with recent amendments made to UN Regulation No. 78.

Proposal to amend the annex on complex electronic systems, in particular, to require auditing of the methodologies used to ensure system safety at both concept and system level. Concept level specifically requires consideration of interaction with other vehicle systems.

Proposal to delete a redundant requirement. The paragraphs 2.2. and 2.2.1. are superfluous since paragraph 5.2.2.13. already requires all O4 trailers to be equipped with Anti-lock Braking Systems (ABS) of Category A.

Proposal for an “Emergency Steering Function” to automatically assist drivers in avoiding an impending collision with an obstacle or other vehicle.

Proposal to include under the complex electronics annex of UN R79, if only as an interim measure, provisions for the approval of automated systems that bring a vehicle safely to a stop in the event of driver incapacitation.
