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 to amend provisions on electronic stability control warnings under braking regulations to allow for activation of the ESC visual warning during a stability-assistance intervention of an electronic steering control. The aim is to avoid separate requirements for brake-actuated and steering-actuated stability assistance that would lead to two visual warnings where only one is appropriate.

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.

Proposals to clarify and refine provisions in the draft corrective steering function amendment to UN R79 (document GRRF-82-12/Rev.3).

Proposals for the text of the draft amendment to UN R79 to enable the approval of automated lane-changing systems.

The Netherlands and Sweden note strongly urging consideration of system safety and software assessment issues before proceeding with approval procedures for Category B2 and/or E ACSF, including a discussion of the role, if any, of ISO 26262 under Annex 6.

Proposal to exempt automated parking systems from the draft requirement for tactile signals on the steering control. In a parking maneuver, the driver does not hold the steering wheel.

Complete revised test of the “corrective steering” amendment to UN R79 (GRRF-82-12/Rev.3) as agreed during the 9th ACSF informal group session (for eventual approval by GRRF during its January 2017 session and WP.29 at its March 2017 session).

OICA proposal for the definition of ay_smax (the maximum lateral acceleration under which an automated steering function is designed to operate).
