               INTRODUCTION
         The intention of the Regulation is to establish uniform provisions concerning the approval of vehicles with regard to Automated Lane Keeping Systems (ALKS).
         ALKS controls the lateral and longitudinal movement of the vehicle for extended periods without further driver command. ALKS is a system whereby the activated system is in primary control of the vehicle.
         This Regulation is the first regulatory step for an automated driving system (as defined in ECE/TRANS/WP.29/1140) in traffic and it therefore provides innovative provisions aimed at addressing the complexity related to the evaluation of the system safety. It contains administrative provisions suitable for type approval, technical requirements, audit and reporting provisions and testing provisions.
         ALKS can be activated under certain conditions on roads where pedestrians and cyclists are prohibited and which, by design, are equipped with a physical separation that divides the traffic moving in opposite directions and prevent traffic from cutting across the path of the vehicle. In a first step, the original text of this Regulation limits the operational speed to 60 km/h maximum and passenger cars (M1 vehicles).
         This Regulation includes general requirements regarding the system safety and the failsafe response. When the ALKS is activated, it shall perform the driving task instead of the driver, i.e. manage all situations including failures, and shall not endanger the safety of the vehicle occupants or any other road users. There is however always the possibility for the driver to override the system, at any time.
         The Regulation also lays down requirements on how the driving task shall be safely handed over from the ALKS to the driver including the capability for the system to come to a stop in case the driver does not reply appropriately.
         Finally, the Regulation includes requirements on the Human-Machine Interface (HMI) to prevent misunderstanding or misuse by the driver. The Regulation for instance requires that on-board displays used by the driver for other activities than driving when the ALKS is activated, shall be automatically suspended as soon as the system issues a transition demand. These measures are without prejudice to driver behaviour rules on how to use these systems in the Contracting Parties as currently being discussed by the Global Forum for Road Traffic Safety (WP.1) at the time of drafting this document (See e.g. Informal Document 4 Revision 1 of the seventy-eighth session of WP.1).
         1.   SCOPE AND PURPOSE
         
                  
                     1.1.
                  
                  
                     This Regulation applies to the type approval of vehicles of Category M1 (1) with regards to their Automated Lane Keeping System.
                  
               2.   DEFINITIONS
         For the purposes of this Regulation:
         
                  
                     2.1.
                  
                  
                     ‘Automated Lane Keeping System (ALKS)’ for low speed application is a system which is activated by the driver and which keeps the vehicle within its lane for travelling speed of 60 km/h or less by controlling the lateral and longitudinal movements of the vehicle for extended periods without the need for further driver input.
                     Within this Regulation, ALKS is also referred to as ‘the system’.
                  
               
                  
                     2.1.1.
                  
                  
                     ‘Vehicle Type with regard to Automated Lane Keeping System (ALKS)’ means a category of vehicles which do not differ in such essential aspects as:
                     
                                 (a)
                              
                              
                                 Vehicle features which significantly influence the performances of ALKS;
                              
                           
                                 (b)
                              
                              
                                 The system characteristics and design of ALKS.
                              
                           
               
                  
                     2.2.
                  
                  
                     ‘Transition demand’ is a logical and intuitive procedure to transfer the Dynamic Driving Task (DDT) from the system (automated control) to the human driver (manual control). This request is given from the system to the human driver.
                  
               
                  
                     2.3.
                  
                  
                     ‘Transition phase’ means the duration of the transition demand.
                  
               
                  
                     2.4.
                  
                  
                     ‘Planned event’ is a situation which is known in advance, e.g. at the time of activation such as a journey point (e.g. exit of a highway) etc. and which requires a transition demand.
                  
               
                  
                     2.5.
                  
                  
                     ‘Unplanned event’ is a situation which is unknown in advance, but assumed as very likely in happening, e.g. road construction, inclement weather, approaching emergency vehicle, missing lane marking, load falling from truck (collision) and which requires a transition demand.
                  
               
                  
                     2.6.
                  
                  
                     ‘Imminent collision risk’ describes a situation or an event which leads to a collision of the vehicle with another road user or an obstacle which cannot be avoided by a braking demand with lower than 5 m/s2.
                  
               
                  
                     2.7.
                  
                  
                     ‘Minimum Risk Manoeuvre (MRM)’ means a procedure aimed at minimising risks in traffic, which is automatically performed by the system after a transition demand without driver response or in the case of a severe ALKS or vehicle failure.
                  
               
                  
                     2.8.
                  
                  
                     ‘Emergency Manoeuvre (EM)’ is a manoeuvre performed by the system in case of an event in which the vehicle is at imminent collision risk and has the purpose of avoiding or mitigating a collision.

                     ‘Maximum operational speed’ is the speed selected by the system up to which the system operates under current environmental and sensor conditions. It is the maximum vehicle speed at which the system may be active and shall be determined by the capability of the sensing system as well as the environmental conditions.
                  
               
                  
                     2.9.3.
                  
                  
                     ‘Present speed’ or ‘speed’ is the current speed selected by the system due to traffic.

                     A ‘severe ALKS failure’ is a failure specific to the operation of the ALKS that affects the safe operation of the system when in failure mode with a very low probability of occurrence such as generally used for essential components as e.g. an electronic control unit. Single sensor failures are only considered as such when accompanied by another influence affecting the safe operation of the system.

                     A ‘severe vehicle failure’ is any failure of the vehicle (e.g. electrical, mechanical) that affects the ability of the ALKS to perform the DDT and would also affect the manual operation of the vehicle (e.g. loss of power supply, failure of the braking system, sudden loss of tyre pressure).
                  
               
                  
                     2.12.
                  
                  
                     ‘Self-check’ means an integrated function which checks for any system failure and for the detection range of the sensing system on a continuous basis.

                     The activated system shall detect the risk of collision in particular with another road user ahead or beside the vehicle, due to a decelerating lead vehicle, a cutting in vehicle or a suddenly appearing obstacle and shall automatically perform appropriate manoeuvres to minimize risks to safety of the vehicle occupants and other road users.
                     For conditions not specified in paragraphs 5.2.4, 5.2.5 or its subparagraphs, this shall be ensured at least to the level at which a competent and careful human driver could minimize the risks.

                     The activated system shall avoid a collision with an unobstructed crossing pedestrian in front of the vehicle.
                     In a scenario with an unobstructed pedestrian crossing with a lateral speed component of not more than 5 km/h where the anticipated impact point is displaced by not more than 0,2 m compared to the vehicle longitudinal plane, the activated ALKS shall avoid a collision up to the maximum operational speed of the system.

                     It is recognised that the fulfilment of the requirement in paragraph 5.2.5 may not be fully achieved in other conditions than those described above. However, the system shall not deactivate or unreasonably switch the control strategy in these other conditions. This shall be demonstrated in accordance with Annex 4 of this Regulation.

                     Emergency Manoeuvre (EM)
                     The fulfilment of the provisions of this paragraph shall be demonstrated by the manufacturer to the technical service during the inspection of the safety approach as part of the assessment to Annex 4 and according to the relevant tests in Annex 5.

                     Any longitudinal deceleration demand of more than 5,0 m/s2 of the system shall be considered to be an EM.
                  
               
                  
                     5.3.2.
                  
                  
                     This manoeuvre shall decelerate the vehicle up to its full braking performance if necessary and/or may perform an automatic evasive manoeuvre, when appropriate.
                     If failures are affecting the braking or steering performance of the system, the manoeuvre shall be carried out with consideration for the remaining performance.
                     During the evasive manoeuvre the ALKS vehicle shall not cross the lane marking (outer edge of the front tyre to outer edge of the lane marking).
                     After the evasive manoeuvre the vehicle shall aim at resuming a stable position.

                     An emergency manoeuvre shall not be terminated, unless the imminent collision risk disappeared, or the driver deactivated the system.
                  
               
                  
                     5.3.3.1.
                  
                  
                     After an emergency manoeuvre is terminated the system shall continue to operate.
                  
               
                  
                     5.3.3.2.
                  
                  
                     If the emergency manoeuvre results in the vehicle being at standstill, the signal to activate the hazard warning lights shall be generated. If the vehicle automatically drives off again, the signal to deactivate the hazard warning lights shall be generated automatically.

                     Transition demand and system operation during transition phase
                     The fulfilment of the provisions of this paragraph shall be demonstrated by the manufacturer to the technical service during the inspection of the safety approach as part of the assessment to Annex 4 (in particular for conditions not tested under Annex 5) and according to the relevant tests in Annex 5.
                  
               
                  
                     5.4.1.
                  
                  
                     The activated system shall recognise all situations in which it needs to transition the control back to the driver.
                     Types of situations in which the vehicle will generate a transition demand to the driver shall be declared by the vehicle manufacturer and included in the documentation package required in Annex 4.
                  
               
                  
                     5.4.2.
                  
                  
                     The initiation of the transition demand shall be such that sufficient time is provided for a safe transition to manual driving.
                  
               
                  
                     5.4.2.1.
                  
                  
                     In case of a planned event that would prevent the ALKS from continuing the operation, a transition demand shall be given early enough to ensure the minimal risk maneuver, in case the driver would not resume control, would bring the vehicle to standstill before the planned event occurs.
                  
               
                  
                     5.4.2.2.
                  
                  
                     In case of an unplanned event, a transition demand shall be given upon detection.
                  
               
                  
                     5.4.2.3
                  
                  
                     In case of any failure affecting the operation of the system, the system shall immediately initiate a transition demand upon detection.
                  
               
                  
                     5.4.3.
                  
                  
                     During the transition phase the system shall continue to operate. The system may reduce the speed of the vehicle to ensure its safe operation but shall not bring it to standstill unless required by the situation (e.g. due to vehicles or obstacles obstructing the path of the vehicle) or when caused by a haptic warning according to paragraph 6.4.1 started at speeds below 20 km/h.
                  
               
                  
                     5.4.3.1.
                  
                  
                     Once in standstill the vehicle may remain in this condition and shall generate the signal to activate the hazard warning lights within 5 s.
                  
               
                  
                     5.4.3.2.
                  
                  
                     During the transition phase, the transition demand shall be escalated latest after 4 s after the start of the transition demand.
                  
               
                  
                     5.4.4.
                  
                  
                     A transition demand shall only be terminated once the system is deactivated or a minimum risk manoeuvre has started.
                  
               
                  
                     5.4.4.1.
                  
                  
                     In case the driver is not responding to a transition demand by deactivating the system (either as described in paragraph 6.2.4 or 6.2.5), a minimum risk manoeuvre shall be started, earliest 10 s after the start of the transition demand.
                  
               
                  
                     5.4.4.1.1.
                  
                  
                     Notwithstanding paragraph 5.4.4.1 a minimum risk manoeuvre may be initiated immediately in case of a severe ALKS or severe vehicle failure.
                     In case of a severe ALKS or vehicle failure the ALKS may no longer be capable of fulfilling the requirements of this Regulation, but it shall aim at enabling a safe transition of control back to the driver.
                  
               
                  
                     5.4.4.1.2.
                  
                  
                     The manufacturer shall declare the types of severe vehicle failures and severe ALKS failures that will lead the ALKS to initiate a MRM immediately.

                     During the minimum risk manoeuvre the vehicle shall be slowed down inside the lane or, in case the lane markings are not visible, remain on an appropriate trajectory taking into account surrounding traffic and road infrastructure, with an aim of achieving a deceleration demand not greater than 4,0 m/s2.
                     Higher deceleration demand values are permissible for very short durations, e.g. as haptic warning to stimulate the driver’s attention, or in case of a severe ALKS or severe vehicle failure.
                     Additionally, the signal to activate the hazard warning lights shall be generated with the start of the minimum risk manoeuvre.
                  
               
                  
                     5.5.2.
                  
                  
                     The minimum risk manoeuvre shall bring the vehicle to standstill unless the system is deactivated by the driver during the manoeuvre.
                  
               
                  
                     5.5.3.
                  
                  
                     A minimum risk manoeuvre shall only be terminated once the system is deactivated or the system has brought the vehicle to a standstill.
                  
               
                  
                     5.5.4.
                  
                  
                     The system shall be deactivated at the end of any minimum risk manoeuvre.
                     The hazard warning lights shall remain activated unless deactivated manually and the vehicle shall not move away after standstill without manual input.
                  
               
                  
                     5.5.5.
                  
                  
                     Reactivation of the system after the end of any minimum risk manoeuvre shall only be possible after each new engine start/run cycle.

                     Driver presence
                     A transition demand shall be initiated according to paragraph 5.4 if any of the following conditions is met:
                     
                                 (a)
                              
                              
                                 When the driver is detected not to be in the seat for a period of more than one second; or
                              
                           
                                 (b)
                              
                              
                                 When the driver’s safety belt is unbuckled.
                              
                           The second level warning of the safety-belt reminder according to UN-R16 may be used instead of an acoustic warning of the Transition Demand.

                     Criteria for deeming driver availability
                     The driver shall be deemed to be unavailable unless at least two availability criteria (e.g. input to driver-exclusive vehicle control, eye blinking, eye closure, conscious head or body movement) have individually determined that the driver is available in the last 30 seconds.
                     At any time, the system may deem the driver unavailable.
                     As soon as the driver is deemed to be unavailable, or fewer than two availability criteria can be monitored, the system shall immediately provide a distinctive warning until appropriate actions of the driver are detected or until a transition demand is initiated. At the latest, a transition demand shall be initiated according to paragraph 5.4 if this warning continues for 15s.
                     Justification for the number and combination of availability criteria, in particular with regard to the corresponding time interval, shall be provided by the manufacturer by documented evidence. However, the time interval required for any availability criteria shall not exceed 30 seconds. This shall be demonstrated by the manufacturer and assessed by the technical service according to Annex 4.

                                 The vehicle is on roads where pedestrians and cyclists are prohibited and which, by design, are equipped with a physical separation that divides the traffic moving in opposite directions.
                              
                           If any of the above conditions is no longer fulfilled, the system shall immediately initiate a transition demand unless specified differently in this Regulation.
                  
               
                  
                     6.2.4
                  
                  
                     It shall be possible to manually deactivate (off-mode) the system by an intentional action of the driver using the same means as to activate the system, as mentioned in paragraph 6.2.1.
                     The means of deactivating shall provide protection against unintentional manual deactivation for example by requiring a single input exceeding a certain threshold of time or a double press, or two separate but simultaneous inputs.
                     Additionally, it shall be ensured the driver is in lateral control of the vehicle at the time of the deactivation, by e.g. placing the deactivation means on the steering control or confirming the driver is holding the steering control.
                  
               
                  
                     6.2.5.
                  
                  
                     In addition to paragraph 6.2.4, the system shall not be deactivated by any driver input other than those described below in paragraphs 6.2.5.1 to 6.2.5.4.
                  
               
                  
                     6.2.5.1.
                  
                  
                     Deactivation by input to driving controls
                     The system shall be deactivated when at least one of the following conditions is met:
                     
                                 (a)
                              
                              
                                 The driver overrides the system by steering while holding the steering control and this override is not suppressed, as specified in paragraph 6.3; or
                              
                           
                                 (b)
                              
                              
                                 The driver is holding the steering control and overrides the system by braking or accelerating, as specified in paragraph 6.3.1 below.
                              
                           
               
                  
                     6.2.5.2.
                  
                  
                     Deactivation during an ongoing transition demand or an ongoing minimum risk manoeuvre
                     In case a transition demand or a minimum risk manoeuvre is on-going, the system shall only be deactivated:
                     
                                 (a)
                              
                              
                                 As defined in paragraph 6.2.5.1; or
                              
                           
                                 (b)
                              
                              
                                 Upon detection that the driver has taken hold of the steering control as a response to the transition demand or the minimum risk manoeuvre and provided the system confirms the driver is attentive as defined in paragraph 6.3.1.1.
                              
                           
               
                  
                     6.2.5.3.
                  
                  
                     Deactivation during an ongoing emergency manoeuvre
                     In case of an ongoing emergency manoeuvre, the deactivation of the system may be delayed until the imminent collision risk disappeared.
                  
               
                  
                     6.2.5.4.
                  
                  
                     Deactivation in case of a severe vehicle failure or a severe ALKS failure
                     In case of a severe vehicle failure or a severe ALKS failure the ALKS may employ different strategies with regard to deactivation.
                     These different strategies shall be declared by the manufacturer and their effectiveness shall be assessed by the Technical Service with regard to ensuring a safe transition of control from the system to the human driver according to Annex 4.
                  
               
                  
                     6.2.6.
                  
                  
                     On deactivation of the system, there shall not be an automatic transition to any function, which provides continuous longitudinal and/or lateral movement of the vehicle (e.g. ACSF of Category B1 function).
                     After deactivation, Corrective Steering Function (CSF) may be active with the aim at accustoming the driver to execute the lateral control task by gradually reducing lateral support.
                     Notwithstanding both paragraphs above, any other safety system delivering longitudinal or lateral support in imminent collision situations (e.g. Advanced Emergency Braking System (AEBS), Electronic Stability Control (ESC), Brake Assist System (BAS) or Emergency Steering Function (ESF)) shall not be deactivated in case of deactivation of ALKS.
                  
               
                  
                     6.2.7.
                  
                  
                     Any deactivation shall be indicated to the driver as defined in paragraph 6.4.2.3.
                  
               
                  
                     6.3.
                  
                  
                     System override
                  
               
                  
                     6.3.1.
                  
                  
                     A driver input to the steering control shall override the lateral control function of the system when the input exceeds a reasonable threshold designed to prevent unintentional override.
                     This threshold shall include a specified force and duration and shall vary depending on parameters that include criteria used for driver attentiveness to be checked during the drivers input as defined in paragraph 6.3.1.1.
                     These thresholds and the rational for any variation shall be demonstrated to the Technical Service during the assessment according to Annex 4.
                  
               
                  
                     6.3.1.1.
                  
                  
                     Driver attentiveness
                     The system shall detect if the driver is attentive. The driver is deemed to be attentive when at least one of the following criteria is met:
                     
                                 (a)
                              
                              
                                 Driver gaze direction is confirmed as primarily looking at the road ahead;
                              
                           
                                 (b)
                              
                              
                                 Driver gaze direction is being confirmed as looking at the rear-view mirrors; or,
                              
                           
                                 (c)
                              
                              
                                 Driver head movement is confirmed as primarily directed towards the driving task.
                              
                           The specification for confirming these or equally safe criteria must be declared by the manufacturer and supported by documented evidence. This shall be assessed by the technical service according to Annex 4.
                  
               
                  
                     6.3.2.
                  
                  
                     A driver input to the braking control resulting in a higher deceleration than that induced by the system or maintaining the vehicle in standstill by any braking system, shall override the longitudinal control function of the system.
                  
               
                  
                     6.3.3.
                  
                  
                     A driver input to the accelerator control may override the longitudinal control function of the system. However, such an input shall not cause the system to no longer meet the requirements of this Regulation.
                  
               
                  
                     6.3.4.
                  
                  
                     Any driver input to the accelerator or brake control shall immediately initiate a transition demand as specified in paragraph 5.4, when the input exceeds a reasonable threshold designed to prevent unintentional input.
                  
               
                  
                     6.3.5.
                  
                  
                     Notwithstanding the provisions laid down in paragraphs 6.3.1 to 6.3.3, the effect of the driver input on any control may be reduced or suppressed by the system in case the system has detected an imminent collision risk due to this driver input.
                  
               
                  
                     6.3.6.
                  
                  
                     In case of a severe vehicle failure or a severe ALKS failure the ALKS may employ different strategies with regard to system override. These different strategies shall be declared by the manufacturer and their effectiveness shall be assessed by the Technical Service with regard to ensuring a safe transition of control from the system to the human driver.
                  
               
                  
                     6.3.7.
                  
                  
                     The fulfilment of the provisions in paragraph 6.3 and its subparagraphs shall be demonstrated by the manufacturer to the technical service during the inspection of the safety approach as part of the assessment to Annex 4.

                                 At the latest 4 s after the initiation of the transition demand, the transition demand shall:
                                 
                                             (i)
                                          
                                          
                                             Contain a constant or intermittent haptic warning unless the vehicle is at standstill; and
                                          
                                       
                                             (ii)

                     System status display when activated
                     Upon activation the system status (active mode) shall be displayed by a dedicated optical signal to the driver.
                     The optical signal shall contain an unambiguous indication including:
                     
                                 (a)
                              
                              
                                 A steering control or a vehicle, with an additional ‘A’ or ‘AUTO,’ or the standardized symbols in accordance with UN Regulation No 121; and additionally
                              
                           
                                 (b)
                              
                              
                                 An easily perceptible indication in the peripheral field of vision and located near the direct line of driver’s sight to the outside in front of the vehicle, e.g. prominent indication in the instrument cluster or on the steering control covering part of the outer rim perimeter facing towards the driver.
                              
                           The optical signal shall indicate the active system state until the system is deactivated (off mode).
                     The optical signal shall be constant while the system is in regular operation and with the initiation of a transition demand at least the indication according to (b) shall change its characteristics, e.g. to an intermittent signal or a different colour.
                     When an intermittent signal is used, a low frequency shall be used in order to not unreasonably alert the driver.
                     During the transition phase and minimum risk manoeuvre, the indication according to (a) may be replaced by the instruction to take over manual control according to paragraph 6.4.3.
                  
               
                  
                     6.4.2.3.
                  
                  
                     System status display when deactivated
                     Upon deactivation when the system status changes from active mode to off mode this shall be indicated to the driver by at least an optical warning signal. This optical signal shall be realized by non-displaying the optical signal used to indicate the active mode or non-displaying the instruction to take over manual control.
                     Additionally, an acoustic warning signal shall be provided unless the system is deactivated following a transition demand which contained an acoustic signal.
                  
               
                  
                     6.4.3.
                  
                  
                     Transition Phase and Minimum Risk Manoeuvre
                     During the transition phase and the Minimum Risk Manoeuvre, the system shall instruct the driver in an intuitive and unambiguous way to take over manual control of the vehicle. The instruction shall include a pictorial information showing hands and the steering control and may be accompanied by additional explanatory text or warning symbols, as shown in the example below.
                     
                        
                  
               
                  
                     6.4.3.2.
                  
                  
                     With the start of the minimum risk manoeuvre, the given signal shall change its characteristics to emphasize the urgency of an action by the driver. e.g. by red flashing of the steering control and moving hands of the pictorial information.
                  
               
                  
                     6.4.4.
                  
                  
                     Where examples are given above, an adequate and equally perceptible interface design for the optical signals may be used instead. This shall be demonstrated by the manufacturer and shall be supported by documented evidence. This shall be assessed by the Technical Service according to Annex 4.

                     Prioritization of ALKS warnings
                     The warnings of an ALKS during a transition phase, a Minimal Risk Manoeuvre or an Emergency Manoeuvre may be prioritized over other warnings in the vehicle.
                     The prioritization of different acoustic and optical warnings during the ALKS operation shall be declared by the manufacturer to the Technical Service during Type Approval.

                                 Across the full width of its own traffic lane, the full width of the traffic lanes immediately to its left and to its right, up to the limit of the forward detection range;
                              
                           
                                 (b)
                              
                              
                                 Along the full length of the vehicle and up to the limit of the lateral detection range.
                              
                           The requirements of this paragraph are without prejudice to other requirements in this Regulation, most notably paragraph 5.1.1.

                     Forward detection range
                     The manufacturer shall declare the forward detection range measured from the forward most point of the vehicle. This declared value shall be at least 46 metres.
                     The Technical Service shall verify that the distance at which the vehicle sensing system detects a road user during the relevant test in Annex 5 is equal or greater than the declared value.
                  
               
                  
                     7.1.2.
                  
                  
                     Lateral detection range
                     The manufacturer shall declare the lateral detection range. The declared range shall be sufficient to cover the full width of the lane immediately to the left and of the lane immediately to the right of the vehicle.
                     The Technical Service shall verify that the vehicle sensing system detects vehicles during the relevant test in Annex 5. This range shall be equal or greater than the declared range.
                  
               
                  
                     7.1.3.
                  
                  
                     The ALKS shall implement strategies to detect and compensate for environmental conditions that reduce the detection range, e.g. prevent enabling the system, disabling the system and transferring the control back to the driver, reducing the speed when visibility is too low. These strategies shall be described by the manufacturer and assessed according to Annex 4.
                  
               
                  
                     7.1.4.
                  
                  
                     The vehicle manufacturer shall provide evidence that the effects of wear and ageing do not reduce the performance of the sensing system below the minimum required value specified in paragraph 7.1 over the lifetime of the system/vehicle.

               Special requirements to be applied to the functional and operational safety aspects of Automated Lane Keeping Systems (ALKS)
            
            1.   GENERAL
            This annex is intended to ensure that an acceptable thorough consideration of functional and operational safety for the automated system that provides the function(s) regulated by the ALKS Regulation has been performed by the manufacturer during the design and development processes and will continue to be done throughout the vehicle type lifecycle (design, development, production, field operation, decommissioning).
            It covers the documentation which must be disclosed by the manufacturer to the type-approval authority or the technical Service acting on its behalf (hereafter referred as type-approval authority), for type approval purposes.
            This documentation shall demonstrate that automated lane keeping system meets the performance requirements specified in this UN Regulation, that it is designed and developed to operate in such a way that it is free of unreasonable safety risks to the driver, passengers and other road users.
            The type approval authority granting the approval shall verify through targeted spot checks and tests that the argumentation provided by the documentation is strong enough and that the design and processes described in documentation are actually implemented by the manufacturer.
            While based on the provided documentation, evidence and process audits/product assessments carried out to the satisfaction of the type approval authority concerning this Regulation, the residual level of risk of the assessed automated lane keeping system is deemed to be acceptable for the entry into service of the vehicle type, the overall vehicle safety during the automated lane keeping system lifetime in accordance with the requirements of this regulation remains the responsibility of the manufacturer requesting the type-approval.
            2.   DEFINITIONS
            For the purposes of this annex,
            
                     
                        2.1.
                     
                     
                        ‘The system’ means a ‘Higher-Level Electronic Control’ system and its electronic control system(s) that provide the automated driving function. This also includes any transmission links to or from other systems that are outside the scope of this Regulation that acts on the automated lane keeping function.
                     
                  
                     
                        2.2.
                     
                     
                        ‘Safety Concept’ is a description of the measures designed into the system, for example within the electronic units, so that the vehicle operates in such a way that it is free of unreasonable safety risks to the driver, passengers and other road users under faults and non-fault conditions. The possibility of a fallback to partial operation or even to a back-up system for vital vehicle functions shall 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 automated lane keeping function by electronic data processing. Such systems, commonly 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.

                        3.3.4.
                     
                     
                        There shall be a clear correspondence between transmission links and the signals carried between Units. Priorities of signals on multiplexed data paths shall be stated wherever priority may be an issue affecting performance or safety.

                        Identification of units
                        Each unit shall be clearly and unambiguously identifiable (e.g. by marking for hardware, and by marking or software output for software content) to provide corresponding hardware and documentation association. Where software version can be changed without requiring replacement of the marking or component, the software identification must be by software output only.
                        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.

                        Installation of sensing system components
                        The manufacturer shall provide information regarding the installation options that will be employed for the individual components that comprise the sensing system. These options shall include, but are not limited to, the location of the component in/on the vehicle, the material(s) surrounding the component, the dimensioning and geometry of the material surrounding the component, and the surface finish of the materials surrounding the component, once installed in the vehicle. The information shall also include installation specifications that are critical to the system’s performance, e.g. tolerances on installation angle.
                        Changes to the individual components of the sensing system, or the installation options, shall be notified to the Type Approval Authority and be subject to further assessment.

                        3.4.1.
                     
                     
                        The manufacturer shall provide a statement which affirms that the ‘The System’ is free from unreasonable risks for the driver, passengers and other road users.
                     
                  
                     
                        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 (see 3.5.1). The manufacturer shall show evidence of the means by which they determined the realization of the system logic, during the design and development process.
                     
                  
                     
                        3.4.3.
                     
                     
                        The manufacturer shall provide the Type Approval Authority with an explanation of the design provisions built into ‘The System’ so as to ensure functional and operational safety. Possible design provisions in ‘The System’ are for example:
                        
                                    (a)
                                 
                                 
                                    Fall-back to operation using a partial system.
                                 
                              
                                    (b)
                                 
                                 
                                    Redundancy with a separate system.
                                 
                              
                                    (c)
                                 
                                 
                                    Removal of the automated driving function(s).
                                 
                              
                  
                     
                        3.4.3.1.
                     
                     
                        If the chosen provision selects a partial performance mode of operation under certain fault conditions (e.g. in case of severe failures), then these conditions shall be stated (e.g. type of severe failure) and the resulting limits of effectiveness defined (e.g. initiation of a minimum risk manoeuvre immediately) as well as the warning strategy to the driver.
                     
                  
                     
                        3.4.3.2.
                     
                     
                        If the chosen provision selects a second (back-up) means to realise the performance of the dynamic driving task, 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 automated driving function, this shall be done in compliance with the relevant provisions of this regulation. All the corresponding output control signals associated with this function shall be inhibited.
                     
                  
                     
                        3.4.4.
                     
                     
                        The documentation shall be supported, by an analysis which shows, in overall terms, how the system will behave to mitigate or avoid hazards which can have a bearing on the safety of the driver, passengers and other road users.
                        The chosen analytical approach(es) shall be established and maintained by the manufacturer and shall be made open for inspection by the Type Approval Authority at the time of the type approval.
                        The Type Approval Authority shall perform an assessment of the application of the analytical approach(es):
                        
                                    (a)
                                 
                                 
                                    Inspection of the safety approach at the concept (vehicle) level.
                                    This approach shall be based on a Hazard / Risk analysis appropriate to system safety.
                                 
                              
                                    (b)
                                 
                                 
                                    Inspection of the safety approach at the system level including a top down (from possible hazard to design) and bottom up approach (from design to possible hazards). The safety approach may be based on a Failure Mode and Effect Analysis (FMEA), a Fault Tree Analysis (FTA) and a System-Theoretic Process Analysis (STPA) or any similar process appropriate to system functional and operational safety.
                                 
                              
                                    (c)
                                 
                                 
                                    Inspection of the validation/verification plans and results including appropriate acceptance criteria. This shall include validation testing appropriate for validation, for example, Hardware in the Loop (HIL) testing, vehicle on-road operational testing, testing with real end users, or any other testing appropriate for validation/verification. Results of validation and verification may be assessed by analysing coverage of the different tests and setting coverage minimal thresholds for various metrics.
                                 
                              The inspection shall confirm that at least each of the following items is covered where applicable under (a)-(c):
                        
                                    (i)
                                 
                                 
                                    Issues linked to interactions with other vehicle systems (e.g. braking, steering);
                                 
                              
                                    (ii)
                                 
                                 
                                    Failures of the automated lane keeping system and system risk mitigation reactions;
                                 
                              
                                    (iii)
                                 
                                 
                                    Situations within the ODD when a system may create unreasonable safety risks for the driver, passengers and other road users due to operational disturbances (e.g. lack of or wrong comprehension of the vehicle environment, lack of understanding of the reaction from the driver, passenger or other road users, inadequate control, challenging scenarios);
                                 
                              
                                    (iv)
                                 
                                 
                                    Identification of the relevant scenarios within the boundary conditions and management method used to select scenarios and validation tool chosen;
                                 
                              
                                    (v)
                                 
                                 
                                    Decision making process resulting in the performance of the dynamic driving tasks (e.g. emergency manoeuvres), for the interaction with other road users and in compliance with traffic rules;
                                 
                              
                                    (vi)
                                 
                                 
                                    Reasonably foreseeable misuse by the driver (e.g. driver availability recognition system and an explanation on how the availability criteria were established), mistakes or misunderstanding by the driver (e.g. unintentional override) and intentional tampering of the system;
                                 
                              
                                    (vii)
                                 
                                 
                                    Cyberattacks having an impact on the safety of the vehicle (can be done through the analysis done under the UN Regulation No 155 on Cyber Security and Cyber Security Management System).
                                 
                              The assessment by the approval authority shall consist of spot checks of selected hazards (or cyber threats) to establish that argumentation supporting the safety concept is understandable and logical and implemented in the different functions of the systems. The assessment shall also check that validation plans are robust enough to demonstrate safety (e.g. reasonable coverage of chosen scenarios testing by the validation tool chosen) and have been completed.
                        It shall demonstrate that the vehicle is free from unreasonable risks for the driver; vehicle occupants and other road users in the operational design domain, i.e. through:
                        
                                    (a)
                                 
                                 
                                    an overall validation target (i.e., validation acceptance criteria) supported by validation results, demonstrating that the entry into service of the automated lane keeping system will overall not increase the level of risk for the driver, vehicle occupants, and other road users compared to a manually driven vehicles; and

                                    A scenario specific approach showing that the system will overall not increase the level of risk for the driver, passengers and other road users compared to a manually driven vehicles for each of the safety relevant scenarios; and
                                 
                              The Type Approval Authority shall perform or shall require performing tests as specified in paragraph 4 to verify the safety concept.

                        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 Type approval authority shall verify ‘The System’ under non-failure conditions by testing on a track a number of selected functions from those described by the manufacturer in paragraph 3.2 above, and by checking the overall behaviour of the system in real driving conditions including the compliance with traffic rules.
                        These tests shall include scenarios whereby the system is overridden by the driver.
                        Tests according to this Annex shall take into account tests already conducted in Annex 5 of this Regulation.
                     
                  
                     
                        4.1.1.1.
                     
                     
                        The verification results shall correspond with the description, including the control strategies, provided by the manufacturer in paragraph 3.2 and shall comply with the requirements of this regulation.
                     
                  
                     
                        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 faults in any individual unit by applying corresponding output signals to electrical units or mechanical elements in order to simulate the effects of internal failure within the unit. The Type approval authority 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 Type Approval Authority shall verify that these tests include aspects that may have an impact on vehicle controllability and user information (HMI aspects e.g. transition scenarios).
                     
                  
                     
                        4.1.2.1.
                     
                     
                        The Type Approval Authorities shall also check a number of scenarios that are critical for the Object and Event Detection and Response (OEDR) and characterization of the decision-making and HMI functions of the system (e.g. object difficult to detect, when the system reaches the ODD boundaries, traffic disturbance scenarios) as defined in the regulation.
                     
                  
                     
                        4.1.2.2.
                     
                     
                        The verification results shall correspond with the documented summary of the hazard analysis, to a level of overall effect such that the safety concept and execution are confirmed as being adequate and in compliance with the requirements of this regulation.
                     
                  
                     
                        4.2.
                     
                     
                        Simulation tool and mathematical models for verification of the safety concept may be used in accordance with Schedule 8 of Revision 3 of the 1958 Agreement, in particular for scenarios that are difficult on a test track or in real driving conditions. Manufacturers shall demonstrate the scope of the simulation tool, its validity for the scenario concerned as well as the validation performed for the simulation tool chain (correlation of the outcome with physical tests).
                     
                  5.   REPORTING
            Reporting of the assessment 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.

                              Traffic critical scenarios of ALKS are divided into preventable and unpreventable scenarios. The threshold for preventable/unpreventable is based on the simulated performance of a skilled and attentive human driver. It is expected that some of the ‘unpreventable’ scenarios by human standards may actually be preventable by the ALKS system.

                              In a low-speed ALKS scenario, the avoidance capability of the driver model is assumed to be only by braking. The driver model is separated into the following three segments: ‘Perception’; ‘Decision’; and, ‘Reaction’. The following diagram is a visual representation of these segments:

                              To determine conditions under which Automated Lane Keeping Systems (ALKS) shall avoid a collision, performance model factors for these three segments in the following table should be used as the performance model of ALKS considering attentive human drivers’ behaviour with ADAS.

                              The lateral wandering distance the vehicle will normally wander within the lane is 0,375 m.
                              The perceived boundary for cut-in occurs when the vehicle exceeds the normal lateral wandering distance (possibly prior to actual lane change)
                              The distance a. is the perception distance based on the perception time [a]. It defines the lateral distance required to perceive that a vehicle is executing a cut-in manoeuvre a. is obtained from the following formula;
                              a.= lateral movement speed × Risk perception time [a] (0,4sec)
                              The risk perception time begins when the leading vehicle exceeds the cut-in boundary threshold.
                              Max lateral movement speed is real world data in Japan.
                              Risk perception time [a] is driving simulator data in Japan.
                              2sec* is specified as the maximum Time To Collision (TTC) below which it was concluded that there is a danger of collision in the longitudinal direction.

                              The perceived boundary for cut-out occurs when the vehicle exceeds the normal lateral wandering distance (possibly prior to actual lane change)
                              The risk perception time [a] is 0,4 seconds and begins when the leading vehicle exceeds the cut-out boundary threshold.
                              The time 2 seconds is specified as the maximum Time Head Way (THW) for which it was concluded that there is a danger in longitudinal direction.

               Test Specifications for ALKS
            
            1.   INTRODUCTION
            This annex defines tests with the purpose to verify the technical requirements on ALKS.
            Until such time that specific test provisions have been agreed, the Technical Service shall ensure that the ALKS is subject to at least the tests outlined in Annex 5. The specific test parameters for each test shall be selected by the Technical Service and shall be recorded in the test report in such a manner that allows traceability and repeatability of the test setup.
            Pass- and Fail-Criteria for tests are derived solely from the technical requirements in paragraphs 5 to 7 of the Regulation. These requirements are worded in a way that they allow the derivation of pass-fail-criteria not only for a given set of test parameters, but for any combination of parameters in which the system is designed to work (e.g. operating speed range, operating lateral acceleration range, curvature range as contained in the system boundaries).
            The test specifications in this document are meant to be a minimum set of tests, the technical service authorities may perform any other test within the system boundaries and may then compare the measured results against the requirements (concrete: expected test outcome).

                        Test parameter variation
                        The manufacturer shall declare the system boundaries to the Technical Service. The Technical Service shall define different combinations of test parameters (e.g. present speed of the ALKS vehicle, type and offset of target, curvature of lane) in order to cover scenarios in which a collision shall be avoided by the system as well as those in which a collision is not expected to be avoided, where applicable.
                        If this is deemed justified, the Technical Service may test additionally any other combination of parameters.
                        If a collision cannot be avoided for some test parameters, the manufacturer shall demonstrate either by documentation or, if possible, by verification/testing that the system doesn’t unreasonably switch its control strategy.

                        Real-world test
                        The Technical Service shall conduct, or shall witness, an assessment of the system, in a fault-free condition, in the presence of traffic (a ‘real-world’ test). The purpose of this test is to support the Technical Service in understanding the functionality of the system in its operating environment and to complement the assessment of the documentation provided under Annex 4.
                        Together, the assessment of Annex 4 and the real-world test shall enable the Technical Service to identify areas of system performance that may require further assessment, either through testing or further review of Annex 4.
                        During the real-world assessment, the Technical Service shall assess at least:
                        
                                    (a)
                                 
                                 
                                    Prevention of activation when the system is outside of its technical boundaries/requirements for ALKS
                                 
                              
                                    (b)
                                 
                                 
                                    No violation of traffic rules
                                 
                              
                                    (c)
                                 
                                 
                                    Response to a planned event
                                 
                              
                                    (d)
                                 
                                 
                                    Response to an unplanned event
                                 
                              
                                    (e)
                                 
                                 
                                    Detection of the presence of other road users within the frontal and lateral detection ranges
                                 
                              
                                    (f)
                                 
                                 
                                    Vehicle behaviour in response to other road users (following distance, cut-in scenario, cut-out scenario, etc.).
                                 
                              
                                    (g)
                                 
                                 
                                    System override
                                 
                              The location and selection of the test route, time-of-day and environmental conditions shall be determined by the Technical Service.
                        The test drive shall be recorded and the test vehicle instrumented with non-perturbing equipment. The Technical Service may log, or request logs of any data channels used or generated by the system as deemed necessary for post-test evaluation.
                        It is recommended that the real-world test is undertaken once the system has passed all of the other tests outlined in this Annex and upon completion of a risk assessment by the Technical Service.
