Proposal to correct errors in the text of the 02 series and its supplements.

Proposal to:

1. Clarify that the PBC values listed in para. 2.14. are minimum values,
2. Align the collision-warning requirements of para. 5.2.1.1. with those for the pedestrian and bicycle scenarios under paras. 5.2.2.1 and 5.2.3.1., and
3. Clarify para. 5.2.1.2. based on feedback from a recent public consultation in Australia.

Proposal to clarify that the parking brake may be actuated while the vehicle is in motion via actuation of the vehicle’s service braking system by means of an auxiliary control which could be an Electronic Parking Brake (EPB) and to promote consistent interpretation of the activation conditions for an Emergency Stop Signal (ESS), including by application of the service braking system via the EPB control.

UN R79 mandates verification that appropriate warning signals are provided to the driver based on the timing of a system intervention (e.g., in the case of a Risk Mitigation Function). This proposal aims to clarify the moment of initiation of the signals to facilitate the verification of driver warnings, hazard lights, and other indicators in relation to this objectively determined initiation point. The proposal requires manufacturers to define a clear and accessible method for objectively determining the moment of initiation.

Proposal from the ADAS task force to extend the provisions clarifying the scope between this Regulation and UN R171 for the ACSF categories B1, B2, C, D, E to ACSF category A.

Proposal to correct a reference to paragraph 3.6.1.1.3. that should read 5.6.1.1.3. and to correct a misspelling.

Proposal to remove the draft provisions concerning the approval of stability performance under UN R13 and UN R140 for ADS vehicles via demonstration under the safety case provisions of the forthcoming UN Regulation on ADS, and to remove bracket unintentionally retained in the original submission.

Proposal from the ADAS task force to extend the provisions clarifying the scope between this Regulation and UN R171 for the ACSF categories B1, B2, C, D, E to ACSF category A.

Proposal to clarify the pretest conditions for measuring steering effort under a failure condition.

The e-Trailer Industry Group reports on discussions regarding electrically propelled and recuperating trailers. ISO 11992-2 Edition 4 is not safely implementable due to incompatibility with current UN regulations, missing PGNs, and risks of malfunction. ISO/TC 22/SC 31/WG 4 launched Edition 5, targeting publication in early 2027. Amendments to UN R13 and UN R100 are being developed in phases, with Phase 1 addressing trailer dynamo function and Phase 2 addressing e-axle trailers. Two workshops with Contracting Parties are planned to establish shared understanding and develop concrete parameter extensions for amending UN Regulations.

Proposal to require the approval authority to upload information received from the manufacturer concerning remedial action(s) addressing an ALKS design to the DETA platform and to clarify the use of DETA with regard to ALKS approved under UN R157.

Proposal to reinstate the obligation for the granting approval authority to inform the approval authority of each of each Contracting Party in whose territory the manufacturer intends to deploy the ALKS pending approval before granting the approval (according to Annex 1–Appendix 2).

Proposal to increase the usability and safety of the ELKS and to align the technical requirements with technological progress:

• Ensure that an ELKS is not adversely affected by magnetic or electrical fields
• Clarify when the system shall automatically deactivate to prevent unintended consequences, which should be at least detailed in the vehicle’s operating instructions as a minimum
• Include dashed lane markings for CDCF and road edges for ELKS, ensuring all systems fitted meet the highest safety standards and utilise the latest technology to prevent unintended lane departures 1
• Include the latest lane markings located in Annex 3 to UN Regulation 130. This is important as the 01 series of amendments to UN Regulation 130
  includes Australian lane markings, ensuring compatibility
• Eliminate the option for an acoustic warning for LDWS to reduce confusion with the CDCF intervention acoustic warning required in paragraph 6.6.4.
• Correct minor grammatical errors
• Enhance usability by establishing system response limits, where recent research has highlighted the prevalence of consumers turning these lifesaving systems off
• Ensure consistent and repeatable testing.
