0.   Introduction








0.1.


The intention of this Regulation is to establish uniform provisions concerning the approval of motor vehicles of the categories M2, M3, N2 and N3 with regard to their Event Data Recorders (EDRs).
The provisions concern the minimum collection, storage, and crash survivability of the motor vehicle crash event data. It does not include specifications for data retrieval tools and methods which are subject to national or regional level requirements.












0.2.


The purpose of these provisions is to ensure that EDRs record, in a readily usable manner, data valuable for effective crash investigations and for analysis of safety equipment performance while limiting, to the greatest extent possible, the recording of data unrelated to the crash. Such crash data will help provide a better understanding of the circumstances in which crashes and injuries occur and will facilitate the development of safer vehicle designs. In this context, crashes should be understood as involving property damage and/or personal harm, including that of vulnerable road users involved.












0.3.


It is understood that, in the current state of technology, the aforementioned objective can be reached only by recording the data in a specified time period based on defined triggers and trigger thresholds. These triggers may, but do not always immediately precede or follow or coincide with the crash.












0.4.


Contracting parties may but are not required to make EDR requirements mandatory for M2, M3, N2 and N3 vehicles.




1.   Scope








1.1.


This Regulation applies to the approval of vehicles of categories M2, M3, N2 and N3 (1) with regard to their Event Data Recorders (EDRs).












1.2.


This Regulation is without prejudice to requirements of national or regional laws related to privacy, data protection and personal data processing.












1.3.


The following data elements are excluded from the scope: Vehicle Identification Number (VIN), associated vehicle details, location/positioning data, information on the driver, and date and time of an event.












1.4.


If there is no system or sensor designed to provide the trigger indicated in the 5.3.1.3 table of safety systems or the data element to be recorded and stored under section 5, in the format (range, resolution, and sample rate) indicated in Annex 4 ‘Data Elements and Format’ or it is not operational at the time of reaching a specific trigger condition as indicated in 5.3.1 or at the time of recording, this document requires neither recording of such data nor fitting or making such systems or sensors operational. However, if the vehicle is fitted with an original equipment manufacturer sensor or system designed to provide the trigger indicated in 5.3.1.3 or the data element in the format specified in Annex 4 ‘Data Elements and Format’, then it is mandatory to report the data element in the specified format when the sensor or system is operational. In the case the reason for not being operational at the time of recording is a failure of this system or sensor, this failure state shall be recorded by the EDR as defined in Annex 4 ‘Data elements and format’.

Therefore, event data recorders shall resist inertial loads which may occur during a vehicle crash and be mounted in the vehicle in a position of sufficient structural integrity to protect against physical damage due to front and side impacts that would prevent the retrieval of data. To demonstrate these capabilities, Option 1 or Option 2 applies at the choice of the manufacturer.
Option 1:
EDR’s shall withstand mechanical shocks at a severity level as specified in the component test of Annex 9C of the 03 or any later series of amendments to UN Regulation No 100. The devices shall be connected to the test fixture only by the intended mountings provided for the purpose of attaching the event data recorders to the vehicle and in an orientation representative of the vehicle installation.
EDR device(s) shall be mounted in the vehicle cab/passenger compartment or in a position of sufficient structural integrity to protect against physical damage (mechanical integrity) that would prevent the retrieval of data at least in front and side impacts of a severity level corresponding to the mechanical shock requirements above. For positions outside the vehicle cab/passenger compartment, the sufficient structural integrity shall be demonstrated to the technical service together with appropriate documentation (e.g. calculations or simulations).
Option 2:
The manufacturer demonstrates that data is retrievable even after an impact of a severity level set by UN Regulations Nos 94 (Annex 3), 95 (Annex 4) or 137 (Annex 3).












5.5.


It shall not be possible to deactivate the Event Data Recorder.




6.   Modification of Vehicle Type and Extension of Approval








6.1.


Every modification of the vehicle type as defined in paragraph 2.42 of this Regulation shall be notified to the approval authority which approved the vehicle type. The approval authority may then either:












6.1.1.


Consider that the modifications made do not have an adverse effect on the conditions of the granting of the approval and grant an extension of approval;












6.1.2.


Consider that the modifications made affect the conditions of the granting of the approval, and require further tests or additional checks before granting an extension of an approval.












6.2.


Confirmation or refusal of approval, specifying the alterations, shall be communicated by the procedure specified in paragraph 4.3 above to the Contracting Parties to the Agreement applying this Regulation.












6.3.


The approval authority shall inform the other Contracting Parties of the extension by means of the communication form conforming to the model in Annex 1 of this Regulation. It shall assign a serial number to each extension, to be known as the extension number.




7.   Conformity of Production








7.1.

(1)  Format requirements specified below are minimum requirements and manufacturers can exceed them.

(1)  
            ‘Mandatory’ is subject to the conditions detailed in paragraph 1.

(2)  Pre-crash data and crash data are asynchronous. The sample time accuracy requirement for pre-crash time is –0,1 to 1,0 sec (e.g., T = -1 would need to occur between –1,1 and 0 seconds.)

(3)  Accuracy requirement only applies within the range of the physical sensor. If measurements captured by a sensor exceed the design range of the sensor, the reported element shall indicate when the measurement first exceeded the design range of the sensor.

(4)  Manufacturers shall record either Propulsion system activation hours event or ignition cycle, event.

(5)  Manufacturers shall record either Propulsion system activation hours download or ignition cycle, download.

(6)  Shall not contain unique serial numbers or other unique identifiers. If serial number traceability is integral to part number – it does not need to be reported.

(7)  Event indicates recording around the time of the trigger.

(8)  Gear position is mandatory if the Vehicle speed data element only records forward speeds.

(9)  If motors or other drives are available as separate items then these should be listed with relevant location, e.g., 1st left or 2nd left, 1st right or 2nd right (driven axles), 1st or 2nd, nth (for combined drives) for speed, torque and power. For hybrid systems, engine and motor elements should be listed separately.

(10)  This data element shall be recorded for all seating positions equipped with systems and sensors in accordance with paragraph 1.4. A separate row shall be added to the report for each seating position, and the positions shall be denoted as: x = seat row number, starting with 1 at the vehicle front; y = seat number, starting with 1 at the vehicle’s left side. For example, ‘position 1-1’ denotes the front leftmost seat and ‘position 1-2’ denotes the front second seat from the left.

(11)  List this element n times, once for each airbag.

(12)  Only applies to vehicles subject to approval in accordance with any UN Regulation annexed to the 1958 Agreement with respect to their steering functions.
