Transitional Provisions Annexes 1 Communication 2 Arrangement of approval markings ELI: http://data.europa.eu/eli/reg/2024/2497/oj 1/38EN OJ L, 27.9.2024 3 Special requirements to be applied to the safety aspects of electronic control systems Appendix 1 - Model assessment form for electronic systems Appendix 2 - False Reaction scenarios Introduction The intention of this Regulation is to establish uniform provisions for Advanced Emergency Braking Systems (AEBS) fitted to motor vehicles of the Categories M and N primarily used within urban driving conditions. 1 1 The system shall automatically detect an imminent forward collision, provide the driver with an appropriate warning and activate the vehicle braking system to decelerate the vehicle with the purpose of avoiding or mitigating the severity of a collision in the event that the driver does not respond to the warning. In the case of a failure in the system, the safe operation of the vehicle shall not be endangered. During any action taken by the system, the driver can, at any time through a conscious action, e.g. by a steering action or an accelerator kick-down, take control and override the system. This Regulation cannot cover all the traffic conditions and infrastructure features in the type-approval process; this Regulation recognises that the performances required in this Regulation cannot be achieved in all conditions (vehicle condition, road adhesion, weather conditions, deteriorated road infrastructure and traffic scenarios etc. may affect the system performances). Actual conditions and features in the real world should not result in false warnings or false braking to the extent that they encourage the driver to switch the system off.The Regulation provides the requirements for the approval for an AEBS designed to avoid collision either with cars or pedestrians or both. This Regulation is an "if-fitted" regulation. It shall not prevent contracting parties from mandating the fitting of AEBS designed to avoid collision either with cars or pedestrians or both approved in accordance to this Regulation. 1. Scope This Regulation applies to the approval of vehicles of Category M and N (1)(2) with regard to an on-board 1 1 system to (a) Avoid or mitigate the severity of a rear-end in lane collision with a passenger car, (b) Avoid or mitigate the severity of an impact with a pedestrian. 2. Definitions For the purposes of this Regulation: 2.1. "Advanced Emergency Braking System (AEBS)" means a system which can automatically detect an imminent forward collision and activate the vehicle braking system to decelerate the vehicle with the purpose of avoiding or mitigating a collision. 2.2. "Emergency Braking" means a braking demand emitted by the AEBS to the service braking system of the vehicle. 2.3. "Collision Warning" means a warning emitted by the AEBS to the driver when the AEBS has detected an imminent forward collision. (1) As defined in the Consolidated Resolution on the Construction of Vehicles (R.E.3.), document ECE/TRANS/WP.29/78/Rev.6, para. 2 -https://unece.org/transport/standards/transport/vehicle-regulations-wp29/resolutions. (2) This Regulation also offers an alternative set of requirements for vehicles of Category M, and for those of Categories M /N with a 2 3 2 maximum weight below or equal to 8 tons, equipped with hydraulic braking, to those contained in UN Regulation No. 131. For the vehicles described above, Contracting Parties that apply both UN Regulation No. 131 and this Regulation recognise approvals to either regulation as equally valid. 2/38 ELI: http://data.europa.eu/eli/reg/2024/2497/ojEN OJ L, 27.9.2024 2.4. "Vehicle Type with Regard to its Advanced Emergency Braking System" means a category of vehicles which do not differ in such essential aspects as: (a) Vehicle features which significantly influence the performances of the Advanced Emergency Braking System; (b) The type and design of the Advanced Emergency Braking System. 2.5. "Subject Vehicle" means the vehicle being tested. 2.6. "Soft Target" means a target that will suffer minimum damage and cause minimum damage to the subject vehicle in the event of a collision. 2.7. "Vehicle Target" means a target that represents a vehicle 2.8. "Pedestrian Target" means a soft target that represents a pedestrian 2.9. "Bicycle Target" means a soft target that represents a bicycle with cyclist 2.10. "Common Space" means an area on which two or more information functions (e.g. symbol) may be displayed, but not simultaneously. 2.11. "Self-Check" means an integrated function that checks for a system failure on a continuous basis at least while the system is active. 2.12. "Time To Collision (TTC)" means the value of time obtained by dividing the longitudinal distance (in the direction of travel of the subject vehicle) between the subject vehicle and the target by the longitudinal relative speed of the subject vehicle and the target, at any instant in time. 2.13. "Dry road affording good adhesion" means a road with a sufficient nominal Peak Braking Coefficient (PBC) that would permit: (a) A mean fully developed deceleration of at least 9 m/s2 ; or (b) The design maximum deceleration of the relevant vehicle; Whichever is lower. 2.14. "Sufficient nominal Peak Braking Coefficient (PBC)": means a road surface friction coefficient of: (a) 0.9, when measured using the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) of E1136-19 standard reference test tyre in accordance with ASTM Method E1337-19 at a speed of 40 mph; (b) 1.017, when measured using either: (i) The American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) of F2493-20 standard reference test tyre in accordance with ASTM Method E1337-19 at a speed of 40 mph; or (ii) The k-test method specified in Appendix 2 to Annex 6 of UN Regulation No. 13-H.

(3) The distinguishing numbers of the Contracting Parties to the 1958 Agreement are reproduced in Annex 3 to the Consolidated Resolution on the Construction of Vehicles (R.E.3), document ECE/TRANS/WP.29/78/Rev.6, Annex 3 -https://unece.org/transport/ standards/transport/vehicle-regulations-wp29/resolutions. ELI: http://data.europa.eu/eli/reg/2024/2497/oj 5/38EN OJ L, 27.9.2024 5.1.4. Warnings and information In addition to the collision warnings described in paragraphs 5.2.1.1. and 5.2.2.1., the system shall provide the driver with appropriate warning(s) as below: 5.1.4.1. A failure warning when there is a failure in the AEBS that prevents the requirements of this Regulation of being met. The warning shall be as specified in paragraph 5.5.4. 5.1.4.1.1. There shall not be an appreciable time interval between each AEBS self-check, and subsequently there shall not be a delay in illuminating the warning signal, in the case of an electrically detectable failure. 5.1.4.1.2. Upon detection of any non-electrical failure condition (e.g. sensor blindness or sensor misalignment), the warning signal as defined in paragraph 5.1.4.1. shall be illuminated. 5.1.4.2. If the system has not been initialised after a cumulative driving time of 15 seconds above a speed of 10km/h, information of this status shall be indicated to the driver. This information shall exist until the system has been successfully initialised. 5.1.4.3. A deactivation warning, if the vehicle is equipped with a means to deactivate the AEBS, shall be given when the system is deactivated. This shall be as specified in paragraph 5.4.3. 5.1.5. Emergency braking Subject to the provisions of paragraphs 5.3.1. and 5.3.2., the system shall provide emergency braking interventions described in paragraphs 5.2.1.2., 5.2.2.2. and 5.2.3.2. having the purpose of significantly decreasing the speed of the subject vehicle. 5.1.6. False reaction avoidance The system shall be designed to minimise the generation of collision warning signals and to avoid advanced emergency braking in situations where there is no risk of an imminent collision. This shall be demonstrated in the assessment carried out under Annex 3, and this assessment shall include in particular scenarios listed in Appendix 2 of Annex 3. 5.1.7. Any vehicle fitted with an AEBS shall meet the performance requirements of UN Regulation No. 13-H in its 01 series of amendments for vehicles of Category M and N or Regulation No. 13 in its 11 series of amendments 1 1 for vehicles of Category N and shall be equipped with an anti-lock braking function in accordance with the 1 performance requirements of Annex 6 to UN Regulation No.13-H in its 01 series of amendments or of Annex 13 to UN Regulation No. 13 in its 11 series of amendments. 5.2. Specific Requirements 5.2.1. Car to car scenario 5.2.1.1. Collision warning When an imminent collision with a preceding vehicle of Category M , in the same lane is detected with a relative 1 speed above that speed up to which the subject vehicle is able to avoid the collision (within the conditions specified in paragraph 5.2.1.4.), a collision warning shall be provided as specified in paragraph 5.5.1., and shall be triggered at the latest 0.8 seconds before the start of emergency braking. However, in case the collision cannot be anticipated in time to give a collision warning 0.8 seconds ahead of an emergency braking a collision warning shall be provided as specified in paragraph 5.5.1. and shall be provided no later than the start of emergency braking intervention. 6/38 ELI: http://data.europa.eu/eli/reg/2024/2497/ojEN OJ L, 27.9.2024 The collision warning may be aborted if the conditions prevailing a collision are no longer present. This shall be tested according to paragraphs 6.4. and 6.5. 5.2.1.2. Emergency braking When the system has detected the possibility of an imminent collision, there shall be a braking demand of at least 5.0 m/s2 to the service braking system of the vehicle. This does not prohibit higher deceleration demand values than 5 m/s2 during the collision warning for very short durations, e.g. as haptic warning to stimulate the driver’s attention. The emergency braking may be aborted or the deceleration demand may be reduced below the threshold above (as relevant), if the conditions prevailing a collision are no longer present or the risk of a collision has decreased. This shall be tested in accordance with paragraphs 6.4. and 6.5. of this Regulation. 5.2.1.3. Speed range The system shall be active at least within the vehicle speed range between 10 km/h and 60 km/h and at all vehicle load conditions, unless deactivated as per paragraph 5.4. 5.2.1.4. Speed reduction by braking demand In absence of driver's input which would lead to interruption according to paragraph 5.3.2., the AEBS shall be able to achieve a relative impact speed that is less or equal to the maximum relative impact speed as shown in the following table, provided: (a) Vehicle external influences allow for the required deceleration, i.e.: (i) The road is flat, horizontal and dry affording good adhesion; (ii) The weather conditions do not affect the dynamic performance of the vehicle (e.g. no storm, not below 0°C); (b) The vehicle state itself allows for the required deceleration, e.g.: (i) The tyres are in an appropriate state and properly inflated; (ii) The brakes are properly operational (brake temperature, pads condition etc.); (iii) There is no severe uneven load distribution; (iv) No trailer is coupled to the motor vehicle and the mass of the motor vehicle is between maximum mass and mass in running order conditions; (c) There are no external influences affecting the physical sensing capabilities, i.e.: (i) The ambient illumination conditions are at least 1 000 Lux and there is no extreme blinding of the sensors (e.g. direct blinding sunlight, highly RADAR-reflective environment); (ii) The target vehicle is not extreme with regard to the Radar Cross Section (RCS) or the shape/silhouette (e.g. below fifth percentile of RCS of all M vehicles) 1 (iii) There are no significant weather conditions affecting the sensing capabilities of the vehicle (e.g. heavy rain, dense fog, snow, dirt); (iv) There are no overhead obstructions close to the vehicle; (d) The situation is unambiguous, i.e.: (i) The preceding vehicle belongs to Category M , is unobstructed, clearly separated from other objects in 1 the driving lane and constantly travelling or stationary; (ii) The vehicle longitudinal centre planes are displaced by not more than 0.2 m; (iii) The direction of travel is straight with no curve, and the vehicle is not turning at an intersection and following its lane. ELI: http://data.europa.eu/eli/reg/2024/2497/oj 7/38EN OJ L, 27.9.2024 When conditions deviate from those listed above, the system shall not deactivate or unreasonably switch the control strategy. This shall be demonstrated by the manufacturer in accordance with Annex 3 of this Regulation and, if deemed justified, may be followed by testing by the Technical Service in conditions deviating from those listed above or those in paragraph 6.

This requirement does not apply to warning signals shown in a common space. 5.5.6. The optical warning signals shall be visible even by daylight; the satisfactory condition of the signals must be easily verifiable by the driver from the driver's seat. 5.5.7. When the driver is provided with an optical warning signal to indicate that the AEBS is temporarily not available, for example due to inclement weather conditions, the signal shall be constant. The failure warning signal specified in paragraph 5.5.4. above may be used for this purpose. 5.6. Provisions for the Periodic Technical Inspection 5.6.1. At a Periodic Technical Inspection, it shall be possible to confirm the correct operational status of the AEBS by a visible observation of the failure warning signal status. following a "power-ON" and any bulb check. In the case of the failure warning signal being in a common space. the common space must be observed to be functional prior to the failure warning signal status check. 5.6.2. At the time of type approval, the means to protect against simple unauthorised modification of the operation of the failure warning signal chosen by the manufacturer shall be confidentially outlined. Alternatively, this protection requirement is fulfilled when a secondary means of checking the correct operational status of the AEBS is available. 6. Test procedure 6.1. Test Conditions 6.1.1.

The first two digits of the approval number indicate that the approval was granted in accordance with the requirements of UN Regulation No. 152 as amended by the 02 series of amendments. 26/38 ELI: http://data.europa.eu/eli/reg/2024/2497/ojEN OJ L, 27.9.2024 ANNEX 3 Special requirements to be applied to the safety aspects of electronic control systems 1. General This annex defines the special requirements for documentation, fault strategy and verification with respect to the safety aspects of Complex Electronic Vehicle Control Systems (paragraph 2.4. below) as far as this Regulation is concerned. This annex shall also apply to safety related functions identified in this Regulation which are controlled by electronic system(s) (paragraph 2.3.) as far as this Regulation is concerned. This annex does not specify the performance criteria for "The System" but covers the methodology applied to the design process and the information which must be disclosed to the Technical Service, for type approval purposes. This information shall show that "The System" respects, under non-fault and fault conditions, all the appropriate performance requirements specified elsewhere in this Regulation and that it is designed to operate in such a way that it does not induce safety critical risks. 2. Definitions For the purposes of this annex, 2.1. "The System" means an electronic control system or complex electronic control system that provides or forms part of the control transmission of a function to which this Regulation applies. This also includes any other system covered in the scope of this Regulation, as well as transmission links to or from other systems that are outside the scope of this Regulation, that acts on a function to which this Regulation applies. 2.2. "Safety Concept" is a description of the measures designed into the system, for example within the electronic units, so as to address system integrity and thereby ensure safe operation under fault and non-fault conditions, including in the event of an electrical failure. The possibility of a fall-back to partial operation or even to a back-up system for vital vehicle functions may be a part of the safety concept. 2.3. "Electronic Control System" means a combination of units, designed to co-operate in the production of the stated vehicle control function by electronic data processing. Such systems, often controlled by software, are built from discrete functional components such as sensors, electronic control units and actuators and connected by transmission links. They may include mechanical, electro-pneumatic or electro-hydraulic elements. 2.4. "Complex Electronic Vehicle Control Systems" are those electronic control systems in which a function controlled by an electronic system or the driver may be over-ridden by a higher-level electronic control system/function. A function which is over-ridden becomes part of the complex system, as well as any overriding system/function within the scope of this Regulation. The transmission links to and from overriding systems/function outside of the scope of this Regulation shall also be included. 2.5. "Higher-Level Electronic Control" systems/functions are those which employ additional processing and/or sensing provisions to modify vehicle behaviour by commanding variations in the function(s) of the vehicle control system. This allows complex systems to automatically change their objectives with a priority which depends on the sensed circumstances. ELI: http://data.europa.eu/eli/reg/2024/2497/oj 27/38EN OJ L, 27.9.2024 2.6. "Units" are the smallest divisions of system components which will be considered in this annex, since these combinations of components will be treated as single entities for purposes of identification, analysis or replacement. 2.7. "Transmission links" are the means used for inter-connecting distributed units for the purpose of conveying signals, operating data or an energy supply. This equipment is generally electrical but may, in some part, be mechanical, pneumatic or hydraulic. 2.8. "Range of control" refers to an output variable and defines the range over which the system is likely to exercise control. 2.9. "Boundary of functional operation" defines the boundaries of the external physical limits within which the system is able to maintain control. 2.10. "Safety Related Function" means a function of "The System" that is capable of changing the dynamic behaviour of the vehicle. "The System" may be capable of performing more than one safety related function. 3. Documentation 3.1. Requirements The manufacturer shall provide a documentation package which gives access to the basic design of "The System" and the means by which it is linked to other vehicle systems or by which it directly controls output variables. The function(s) of "The System" and the safety concept, as laid down by the manufacturer, shall be explained. Documentation shall be brief, yet provide evidence that the design and development has had the benefit of expertise from all the system fields which are involved. For periodic technical inspections, the documentation shall describe how the current operational status of "The System" can be checked. The Technical Service shall assess the documentation package to show that "The System": (a) Is designed to operate, under non-fault and fault conditions, in such a way that it does not induce safety critical risks; (b) Respects, under non-fault and fault conditions, all the appropriate performance requirements specified elsewhere in this Regulation; and, (c) Was developed according to the development process/method declared by the manufacturer. 3.1.1. Documentation shall be made available in two parts: (a) The formal documentation package for the approval, containing the material listed in paragraph 3. (with the exception of that of paragraph 3.4.4.) which shall be supplied to the Technical Service at the time of submission of the type approval application. This documentation package shall be used by the Technical Service as the basic reference for the verification process set out in paragraph 4. of this annex. The Technical Service shall ensure that this documentation package remains available for a period determined in agreement with the Approval Authority. This period shall be at least 10 years counted from the time when production of the vehicle is definitely discontinued. (b) Additional material and analysis data of paragraph 3.4.4. which shall be retained by the manufacturer, but made open for inspection at the time of type approval. The manufacturer shall ensure that this material and analysis data remains available for a period of 10 years counted from the time when production of the vehicle is definitely discontinued. 3.2. Description of the functions of "The System" A description shall be provided which gives a simple explanation of all the control functions of "The System" and the methods employed to achieve the objectives, including a statement of the mechanism(s) by which control is exercised. 28/38 ELI: http://data.europa.eu/eli/reg/2024/2497/ojEN OJ L, 27.9.2024 Any described function that can be over-ridden shall be identified and a further description of the changed rationale of the function’s operation provided. 3.2.1. A list of all input and sensed variables shall be provided and the working range of these defined. 3.2.2. A list of all output variables which are controlled by "The System" shall be provided and an indication given, in each case, of whether the control is direct or via another vehicle system. The range of control (paragraph 2.8.) exercised on each such variable shall be defined. 3.2.3. Limits defining the boundaries of functional operation (paragraph 2.9.) shall be stated where appropriate to system performance. 3.3. System layout and schematics 3.3.1. Inventory of components. A list shall be provided, collating all the units of "The System" and mentioning the other vehicle systems which are needed to achieve the control function in question. An outline schematic showing these units in combination, shall be provided with both the equipment distribution and the interconnections made clear. 3.3.2. Functions of the units The function of each unit of "The System" shall be outlined and the signals linking it with other units or with other vehicle systems shall be shown. This may be provided by a labelled block diagram or other schematic, or by a description aided by such a diagram. 3.3.3. Interconnections Interconnections within "The System" shall be shown by a circuit diagram for the electric transmission links, by a piping diagram for pneumatic or hydraulic transmission equipment and by a simplified diagrammatic layout for mechanical linkages. The transmission links both to and from other systems shall also be shown 3.3.4. Signal flow, operating data and priorities There shall be a clear correspondence between these transmission links and the signals and/or operating data carried between units. Priorities of signals and/or operating data on multiplexed data paths shall be stated wherever priority may be an issue affecting performance or safety as far as this Regulation is concerned. 3.3.5. Identification of units Each unit shall be clearly and unambiguously identifiable (e.g. by marking for hardware and marking or software output for software content) to provide corresponding hardware and documentation association. Where functions are combined within a single unit or indeed within a single computer, but shown in multiple blocks in the block diagram for clarity and ease of explanation, only a single hardware identification marking shall be used. The manufacturer shall, by the use of this identification, affirm that the equipment supplied conforms to the corresponding document. 3.3.5.1. The identification defines the hardware and software version and, where the latter changes such as to alter the function of the unit as far as this Regulation is concerned, this identification shall also be changed. ELI: http://data.europa.eu/eli/reg/2024/2497/oj 29/38EN OJ L, 27.9.2024 3.4. Safety concept of the manufacturer 3.4.1. The Manufacturer shall provide a statement which affirms that the strategy chosen to achieve "The System" objectives will not, under non-fault conditions, prejudice the safe operation of the vehicle. 3.4.2. In respect of software employed in "The System", the outline architecture shall be explained and the design methods and tools used shall be identified. The manufacturer shall show evidence of the means by which they determined the realisation of the system logic, during the design and development process. 3.4.3. The Manufacturer shall provide the Technical Service with an explanation of the design provisions built into "The System" so as to generate safe operation under fault conditions. Possible design provisions for failure in "The System" are for example: (a) Fall-back to operation using a partial system. (b) Change-over to a separate back-up system. (c) Removal of the high level function. In case of a failure, the driver shall be warned for example by warning signal or message display. When the system is not deactivated by the driver, e.g. by turning the ignition (run) switch to "off", or by switching off that particular function if a special switch is provided for that purpose, the warning shall be present as long as the fault condition persists. 3.4.3.1. If the chosen provision selects a partial performance mode of operation under certain fault conditions, then these conditions shall be stated and the resulting limits of effectiveness defined. 3.4.3.2. If the chosen provision selects a second (back-up) means to realise the vehicle control system objective, the principles of the change-over mechanism, the logic and level of redundancy and any built in back-up checking features shall be explained and the resulting limits of back-up effectiveness defined. 3.4.3.3. If the chosen provision selects the removal of the Higher Level Function, all the corresponding output control signals associated with this function shall be inhibited, and in such a manner as to limit the transition disturbance. 3.4.4. The documentation shall be supported, by an analysis which shows, in overall terms, how the system will behave on the occurrence of any individual hazard or fault which will have a bearing on vehicle control performance or safety. The chosen analytical approach(es) shall be established and maintained by the Manufacturer and shall be made open for inspection by the Technical Service at the time of the type approval. The Technical Service shall perform an assessment of the application of the analytical approach(es). The audit shall include: (a) Inspection of the safety approach at the concept (vehicle) level with confirmation that it includes consideration of interactions with other vehicle systems. This approach shall be based on a Hazard / Risk analysis appropriate to system safety. (b) Inspection of the safety approach at the system level. This approach shall be based on a Failure Mode and Effect Analysis (FMEA), a Fault Tree Analysis (FTA) or any similar process appropriate to system safety. (c) Inspection of the validation plans and results. This validation shall use, for example, Hardware in the Loop (HIL) testing, vehicle on–road operational testing, or any means appropriate for validation. The assessment shall consist of checks of hazards and faults chosen by the Technical Service to establish that the manufacturer’s explanation of the safety concept is understandable, logical and that the validation plans are suitable and have been completed. 30/38 ELI: http://data.europa.eu/eli/reg/2024/2497/ojEN OJ L, 27.9.2024 The Technical Service may perform or may require to perform tests as specified in paragraph 4. to verify the safety concept. 3.4.4.1. This documentation shall itemize the parameters being monitored and shall set out, for each fault condition of the type defined in paragraph 3.4.4. of this annex, the warning signal to be given to the driver and/or to service/technical inspection personnel. 3.4.4.2. This documentation shall describe the measures in place to ensure the "The System" does not prejudice the safe operation of the vehicle when the performance of "The System" is affected by environmental conditions e.g. climatic, temperature, dust ingress, water ingress, ice packing. 4. Verification and test 4.1. The functional operation of "The System", as laid out in the documents required in paragraph 3., shall be tested as follows: 4.1.1. Verification of the function of "The System" The Technical Service shall verify "The System" under non-fault conditions by testing a number of selected functions from those declared by the manufacturer in paragraph 3.2. above. For complex electronic systems, these tests shall include scenarios whereby a declared function is overridden. 4.1.2. Verification of the safety concept of paragraph 3.4. The reaction of "The System" shall be checked under the influence of a failure in any individual unit by applying corresponding output signals to electrical units or mechanical elements in order to simulate the effects of internal faults within the unit. The Technical Service shall conduct this check for at least one individual unit, but shall not check the reaction of "The System" to multiple simultaneous failures of individual units. The Technical Service shall verify that these tests include aspects that may have an impact on vehicle controllability and user information (HMI aspects). 4.1.2.1. The verification results shall correspond with the documented summary of the failure analysis, to a level of overall effect such that the safety concept and execution are confirmed as being adequate. 5. Reporting by Technical Service Reporting of the assessment by the Technical Service shall be performed in such a manner that allows traceability, e.g. versions of documents inspected are coded and listed in the records of the Technical Service. An example of a possible layout for the assessment form from the Technical Service to the Type Approval Authority is given in Appendix 1 to this Annex.

ELI: http://data.europa.eu/eli/reg/2024/2497/oj 33/38EN OJ L, 27.9.2024 Annex 3 - Appendix 2 False Reaction scenarios The following scenarios shall be used to assess the system’s strategies implemented in order to minimize the generation of false reactions. For each type of scenario the vehicle manufacturer shall explain the principle strategies implemented to ensure safety. The manufacturer shall provide evidence (e.g. simulation results, real-world test data, track test data) of the system’s behaviour in the described types of scenarios. The parameters described in subparagraph 2 of each scenario shall be used as guidance if the Technical Service deems a demonstration of the scenario necessary. (a) Definition of overlap ratio between the subject vehicle and the related vehicle Overlap ratio between the subject vehicle and the related vehicle is calculated by the following formula. R = L / W * 100 overlap overlap vehicle Where: R : Overlap ratio [%] overlap L : Amount of overlap between extended lines of the width of the subject vehicle and the related vehicle overlap [m] W : Width of the subject vehicle [m] (sensors, devices for indirect vision, door handles and connections for vehicle tyre-pressure gauges are not included when measuring the width of the vehicle) (b) Definition of offset ratio between the subject vehicle and the stationary object Offset ratio between the subject vehicle and the stationary object is calculated by the following formula. R = L / (0.5*W ) * 100 offset offset vehicle R : Offset ratio [%] offset L : Amount of offset between the centre of the subject vehicle and the centre of the stationary object, and offset the direction of offset to the driver's seat side is defined as plus (+) [m] W : Width of the subject vehicle [m] (sensors, devices for indirect vision, door handles and connections for vehicle tyre-pressure gauges are not included when measuring the width of the vehicle) Scenario 1 Left turn or Right turn at the intersection 1.1. In this scenario, the subject vehicle passes by a left turn or right turn in front of an oncoming vehicle that is stopped to make a left turn or right turn at an intersection. 1.2. An example of the detail scenario: The subject vehicle drives at a speed of 30 km/h (with a tolerance of +0/-2 km/h) toward the intersection, and decelerates by braking to a speed of not less than 16 km/h at a point where the subject vehicle begins to steer left / right, and the Time To Collision (TTC) to the oncoming vehicle is not more than 2.8 seconds. When the subject vehicle turns left or right in the intersection, the speed is reduced to not less than 10 km/h, and then drives at a constant speed. The TTC to the oncoming vehicle is not more than 1.7 seconds at when the overlap ratio between the subject vehicle and the oncoming vehicle becomes 0 per cent. 34/38 ELI: http://data.europa.eu/eli/reg/2024/2497/ojEN OJ L, 27.9.2024 Figure 1 Left turn or right turn at the intersection (A) Driving on right side of the road (B) Driving on left side of the road Scenario 2 Right turn or Left turn of a forward vehicle 2.1. In this scenario, the subject vehicle follows a forward vehicle. After that, the forward vehicle turns right or left at a corner, and the subject vehicle goes straight. 2.2. An example of the detail scenario: Both the forward vehicle and the subject vehicle drive at a speed of 40 km/h (with a tolerance of +0/-2 km/h) on the straight road. The forward vehicle decelerates by braking to a speed of 10 km/h (with a tolerance of +0/-2 km/h) in order to turn right or left at the corner, and the subject vehicle also decelerates by braking to keep appropriate distance with the forward vehicle. At when the forward vehicle begins to turn right or left, the speed of the subject vehicle is not less than 26 km/h and the TTC to the frontal vehicle is not more than 4.7 seconds. After that, the subject vehicle decelerates to a speed of not less than 20 km/h, and then drives at a constant speed. The TTC to the forward vehicle is not more than 2.5 seconds at when the overlap ratio between the subject vehicle and the forward vehicle becomes 0 per cent.

In this scenario, the subject vehicle drives a small radius curved road of which the guard pipes are constructed to the outer side, and a stationary vehicle (M category), a stationary pedestrian target or a stationary bicycle target 1 is positioned just outside of the guard pipes and where on the extension of the centre of the lane. 36/38 ELI: http://data.europa.eu/eli/reg/2024/2497/ojEN OJ L, 27.9.2024 3.2. An example of the detail scenario: The subject vehicle drives at a speed of 30 (with a tolerance of +0/-2 km/h) km/h toward the curve of which the radius is not more than 25 m at the outer side of the road, and decelerates by braking to a speed of not less than 22 km/h at a point where the subject vehicle enters the curve. The TTC to the stationary object is not more than 1.6 seconds at when the subject vehicle begins to turn in the curve. In the curve, the subject vehicle drives outer lane than the centre of the road. After that, the subject vehicle continue to turn in the curve at a constant speed of not less than 21 km/h. The TTC to the stationary object is not more than 1.1 second at when the overlap ratio between the subject vehicle and the stationary vehicle becomes 0 per cent, or at when the offset ratio between the subject vehicle and the centre of the stationary pedestrian target or the stationary bicycle target becomes -100 per cent.

In this scenario, the subject vehicle changes the lane in front of the signboard which is positioned in the centre of the lane and notifies the driver that the lane is reduced. 4.2. An example of the detail scenario: The subject vehicle drives a straight road at a speed of 40 km/h (with a tolerance of +0/-2 km/h) and begins to steer in order to change the lane in front of the signboard which notifies reducing the lane. No other vehicles approach the subject vehicle. The TTC to the signboard is not more than 4.2 seconds at when the subject vehicle begins to steer. During changing the lane, the speed of the subject vehicle is constant, and the TTC to the signboard is not more than 3.3 seconds at when the offset ratio between the subject vehicle and the centre of the signboard becomes -100 per cent.
