the vehicle and the bicycle at the near side of the vehicle where the vehicle and bicycle are parallel to each other. The distance is measured between the plane parallel to the median longitudinal plane of the vehicle and touching its lateral outer edge, disregarding the projection of devices for indirect vision, and the median longitudinal plane of the bicycle minus half of the bicycle width being 250 mm. The lateral outer edge of the vehicle is only to be regarded in the area between the vehicle's foremost point and up to 6 m rearward.
2.15. "First point of information" means the most forward point at which the information signal can be given. It is the last point of information and a distance corresponding to a travel time of 4 seconds, taking into account the moving speed of the vehicle plus an additional distance if the impact position is lower than 6 m.
2.16. "Vehicle front right corner" means the projection of the point that results from the intersection of the vehicle side plane (not including devices for indirect vision) and the vehicle front plane (not including devices for indirect vision and any part of the vehicle which is more than 2.0 m above the ground) on the road surface.
2.17. "Impact Position" means the location of impact of the bicycle on the right side of the vehicle with respect to the vehicle front right corner, when both vehicles have reached the collision point, as specified in Appendix 1, Figure 3.
2.18. "Vehicle Master Control Switch" means the device by which the vehicle's on-board electronics system is brought, from being switched off, as in the case where a vehicle is parked without the driver being present, to normal operation mode.
2.19 "TTC" means the time to collision, calculated between the bicycle reference point and the (theoretical) collision point. In context of this regulation the equation can be calculated as 𝑇𝑇𝐶 = 𝑥𝑏𝑖𝑐𝑦𝑐𝑙𝑒/𝑣𝑏𝑖𝑐𝑦𝑐𝑙𝑒.
3.  Application for approval
              3.1. The application for approval of a vehicle type with regard to the BSIS shall be submitted by the vehicle manufacturer or by their authorized representative.

              3.2.1. A description of the vehicle type with regard to the items mentioned in paragraph 5. below, together with dimensional drawings and the documentation as referred to in paragraph 6.1. below. The numbers and/or symbols identifying the vehicle type shall be specified.

              3.3. A vehicle representative of the vehicle type to be approved shall be submitted to the Technical Service conducting the approval tests.

4.  Approval
              4.1. If the vehicle type submitted for approval pursuant to this Regulation meets the requirements
