UNECE and vehicle regulations

Where?

Our structure:

➔ WP.29, 6 working groups, ~40 informal working groups

Notes:

• Some countries not marked here apply unilaterally

(some of) the UN vehicle Regulations

• Concept of mutual recognition of approvals

For Safety &

Automation

Automated and connected

vehicles are expected to

contribute to the solutions

needed to address the

transport related issues:

- Road traffic

- Pollution

- CO2 emissions

- Road safety crisis

F. Guichard

Regulatory challenges regarding automationThe regulatory work is preempting the technology.

➔ The regulator has to be moderately proactive to enable innovation.

Goal:

- integrate the technologies into the existing transport system,

- ensuring that the benefits of these new technologies can be captured.

The UN member States do so without compromising on:

safety and achievements so far (e.g. international transport, trade, interoperability and environmental performance).

F. Guichard

Regulatory activity highlights

• Automation:

ALSK - Level 3 (/4) on highway (low speeds) in development

VMAD - Validation Method for Automated Driving

• ADAS:

– In UN Regulation No. 79

• 02 series of amendments

• 03 series of amendments

UN R79

?

ACSF of Cat. A (e.g. RCP)

ACSF of Cat. C (LCA)

ACSF of Cat. B (LKA)

Regulatory activity highlights

• ADAS/Active Safety

• AEB (car2car, car2pedestrians, car2bicycle)

• Emergency Steering Function

• Remote Control Maneuvering

Regulatory activity highlights

• Connectivity:

– Resolution on Cyber Security and Data Protection

– Draft Regulation on Cybersecurity

– Draft Regulation on (OTA) software updates

Regulation through cooperation with various sectors & SDOs

• Lighting and Light Signalling sector:

– IEC standards: IEC 60061, IEC 60809

➔Specific UN Regulations on light sources

• Tire sector:

– ISO, ETRTO, JTMA standards

➔Regulation on tires

➔Regulation on tire installation

• ICT and Telecom sector:

– eCall

– Cyber Security and OTA

F. Guichard

Regulations and Standards• Technical Regulations (e.g. UN Regulation No. 79)

• Focuses on Safety - first

• Mandatory nature

• Set design neutral requirements (exception: interoperability / HMI)

• Define a stringency

• Can rely on existing standards

• Standards (e.g. ISO/SAE J3016)

• Voluntary nature

• Standard provides rules, guidelines or characteristics for activities or for their results, aimed at achieving the optimum degree of order in a given context.

Types Objectives

Terminology Creates agreement on what words mean

Testing methods Provide consistent and replicable methods for assuring quality

and compliance

Performance

standards

(often safety-related) are result-oriented and do not specify how to

do it

Interface

standards

Facilitate interconnection of components or adjoining systems

(e.g. communication protocols)

Framework

standards

Are the foundation of multiple products or services (e.g.

methodologies)

Work on Standards and Regulations - essentialTwo examples:

– UN Regulation No. 51 on the evaluation of vehicle noise

➔ Refers to ISO 10844 (Test track specification)

– SAE levels of automation (ISO/SAE J3014)

➔ Not incorporated (compliance)

➔ Regulations and Standards need to be carefully drafted and applied:

Compliance with a standard is voluntary – helps for e.g. Technology, QM and QA

Compliance with a technical regulation – determines the possibility to sell.

New:

Consumers expect that a product in compliance with standards and regulations is safe

Will this be the case with ICVs ?

F. Guichard

One recent example

Good compementarity between standardization and regulation in cyber security

F. Guichard

Safety vision

Under discussion:

• The level of safety to be ensured by automated vehicles:

“An automated vehicles shall not cause any non-tolerable risk”

• Automated vehicles, under their Operational Design Domain (ODD), shall not cause any traffic accidents resulting in injury or death that are reasonably foreseeable and preventable.
