Amendments from the ACSF informal group to its proposal (document WP.29/2017/10) to enable the type approval of corrective steering functions and Category B1 automated steering systems (e.g., remote parking, continuous lane keeping).

Proposal for transitional provisions for inclusion in UN R79 – (ECE/TRANS/WP29/2017/10, as amended by WP29-171-06). In the interests of moving quickly, the ACSF informal group agreed to submit the initial amendments to UN R79 as a supplement. The proposed Supplement 6 to the 01 series of amendments (documents WP.29/2017/10 and WP.29-171-06) introduce requirements for corrective steering functions (CSF) and A and B1 categories of automatically commanded steering functions (ACSF). This approach included an agreement to ensure that existing approvals and their subsequent extensions won’t be affected by the new technical requirements given that the aim of the supplement is to regulate new systems coming to market, not to impact systems already on the market (see document GRRF-83-21 for complete background).

Copy of document GRRF-81-14. Presentation on French government views on the approval of automated steering at speeds above 10 km/h under UN Regulation No. 79. The principle recommendation is to restrict amendments to UN R79 to lateral vehicle control as speeds above 10 km/h while setting other work on more advanced capabilities (longitudinal + latitudinal, lane change, passing, etc.) for future separate regulations.

Revised version of the draft terms of reference (document GRRF-83-18) to authorize the establishment of an expert group to draft test procedures and performance requirements for M1/N1 with regard to automatic emergency braking, including stationary and moving obstacles, and for pedestrian AEBS.

Corrected version of the presentation delivered in January 2017.

OICA concern over the provision whereby a Category B1 system can only be reactivated by a deliberate action of the driver after the system has been switched off. This provision could be problematic should lane-keeping systems become mandatory to the extent that it could be interpreted as meaning that the system cannot be “default-on” after such a manual deactivation.

Presentation addressing

• 2 Step Initiation (by two deliberate actions)
• Monitoring to the rear and to the side
• Restriction to a designated infrastructure
• Hands On during lane change manouevre
