OICA proposal as revised by the MVC informal group during its 4th session to amend the parking brake provisions of Regulation No. 13 to specify uniform requirements for towing trailers and motor vehicles which may tow more than one trailer (road train combinations). This work originates from a 2009 draft proposal to amend UN R13.

Comments on the draft amendment to UN R79 addressing automated steering as it stood at the end of the third ACSF informal group session. This document also raises links to rear vision (UN R46), AEBS (UN R131), and park assist systems.

Presentation proposing a requirement for defensive braking on vehicles equipped with ACSF because automated steering may result in driver inattention and therefore require compensating environment monitoring and automatic braking. This type of “protective braking” is viewed as a different order of braking than AEBS given that the principle involves maintaining of distances and avoiding accidents at speed rather than as an emergency or abrupt braking.

Presentation on the concept of a minimum risk maneuver boundaries to define acceptable parameters for system-to-driver transition demands and system responses in cases of where the driver does not react.

Amendments to the Draft report of 3rd session referring to SE advice; adjustments in homework table.
