Final report on the development of Amendment 2 to the GTR on motorcycle braking submitted for consideration and approval by the World Forum.

Proposal submitted by the GRRF to clarify provisions concerning the use of Combined Braking Systems (CBS) and for a series of amendments to clarify a variety of requirements, notably concerning test surface requirements, ABS cycling, and peak braking coefficient measurements. The proposal clarifies the terms “inoperative” and “disconnected”, introduces the “K-method”.

This proposal of the IGCMS-II amends the provisions on steering equipment according Regulation 79 to include vehicles equipped with devices for indirect vision such as camera-monitor devices. Various steering effort test provisions depend on the turning circle which currently excludes external mirrors. The text is amended to exclude as well external camera’s for camera-monitor devices. The proposal would replace the reference to rear-view mirrors with the term “devices for indirect vision” to encompass exterior CMS devices.

This proposal is presented by the Chair of the Lane Keeping Assistance System (LKAS) adhoc group in order to improve the wording of document ECE/TRANS/WP.29 /GRRF/2015/2, and to resolve pending questions with regard to the warning provision. The group was not able to achieve consensus on the application dates of the amendments (wording remaining in square brackets).

Clarifications and improvements to the draft new regulation that removes ESC provisions from UN R13-H, including deletion of the “complex electronic systems” (CEL) annex and replacement with reference to compliance with the relevant safety provisions of UN R13-H.

Amendments to clarify and improve the text of the new regulation that would remove BAS provisions from UN R13-H.

New proposal to delete provisions for electronic stability and brake-assist systems from UN R13-H as part of their transposition into new stand-alone regulations. This proposal supersedes document GRRF/2014/10.

Editorial correction to the proposal (document GRRF/2014/23/Rev.1) by Italy to introduce requirements for the approval of replacement brake discs for L-category (motorcycle and related) vehicles.

Revised proposal by Italy to introduce requirements for the approval of replacement brake discs for L-category (motorcycle and related) vehicles pursuant to comments received at the September 2014 GRRF session.

Proposal to require proof of electromagnetic compatibility through compliance with UN R10 or any other equivalent test as may be agreed between the manufacturer and test service.

Information on the mandatory installation of advanced brake systems for motorcycles and of Lane Departure Warning Systems for heavy-duty vehicles.

Amendments to the proposal by Italy to introduce requirements for the approval of replacement brake discs for L-category (motorcycle and related) vehicles.

Proposal to include three-wheeled category l vehicles within the scope of ABS testing under UN R78. This would align the scope with EU Directive 93/14/EEC.

Presently, it is not fully clear whether an anti-lock braking system (ABS) switch-off or altering mode is permitted on L-category vehicles, whereas it is clearly not allowed on other vehicle categories. This proposal is aimed at ensuring a consistent approach for all motor-vehicles equipped with anti-lock braking systems, including specific exemptions for certain off-road vehicles as incorporated in UN Regulation No. 13.

Amendment to specify the connector through which electrical energy is supplied in the proposal to remove certain design restrictions that impede the application of new technologies, especially related to trailer power steering systems and the use of energy from the towing vehicle.

Status report, including the current state of the draft text, on efforts to reach agreement on the introduction of provisions for electro-hydraulic systems into the test conditions for trailers with electrical braking systems.

Proposal to develop regulatory provisions that would enable the approval of automated steering systems (i.e., systems that control vehicle lateral movement) that operate at speeds higher than 10 km/h. The proposal originates from discussions on lane-keeping assistance systems and on automated driving.

Status of ITS/AD Informal Group consideration of guidance for WP.29 working parties on the regulation of automated driving technologies, especially concerning automatically commanded steering under UN R79.

New proposal to delete provisions for electronic stability and brake-assist systems from UN R13-H as part of their transposition into new stand-alone regulations. This proposal supersedes document GRRF/2014/10.
