Test requirements for corrective and automatically commanded steering functionsL 318/2 EN Official Journal of the European Union 14.12.2018 INTRODUCTION The intention of the Regulation is to establish uniform provisions for the layout and performance of steering systems fitted to vehicles used on the road. Traditionally the major requirement has been that the main steering system contains a positive mechanical link between the steering control, normally the steering wheel, and the road wheels in order to determine the path of the vehicle. The mechanical link, if amply dimensioned, has been regarded as not being liable to failure.

Advancing technology, coupled with the wish to improve occupant safety by elimination of the mechanical steering column, and the production advantages associated with easier transfer of the steering control between left and right hand drive vehicles, has led to a review of the traditional approach and the Regulation is now amended to take account of the new technologies. Accordingly it will now be possible to have steering systems in which there is not any positive mechanical connection between the steering control and the road wheels.

Systems whereby the driver remains in primary control of the vehicle but may be helped by the steering system being influenced by signals initiated on-board the vehicle are defined as ‘Advanced Driver Assistance Steering Systems’. Such systems can incorporate an ‘Automatically Commanded Steering Function’, for example, using passive infrastructure features to assist the driver in keeping the vehicle on an ideal path (Lane Guidance, Lane Keeping or Heading Control), to assist the driver in manoeuvring the vehicle at low speed in confined spaces or to assist the driver in coming to rest at a pre-defined point (Bus Stop Guidance). Advanced Driver Assistance Steering Systems can also incorporate a ‘Corrective Steering Function’ that, for example, warns the driver of any deviation from the chosen lane (Lane Departure Warning), corrects the steering angle to prevent departure from the chosen lane (Lane Departure Avoidance) or corrects the steering angle of one or more wheels to improve the vehicle's dynamic behaviour or stability.

In the case of any Advanced Driver Assistance Steering System, the driver can, at all times, choose to override the assistance function by deliberate action, for example, to avoid an unforeseen object in the road.

It is anticipated that future technology will also allow steering to be influenced or controlled by sensors and signals generated either on or off-board the vehicle. This has led to several concerns regarding responsibility for the primary control of the vehicle and the absence of any internationally agreed data transmission protocols with respect to off-board or external control of steering. Therefore, the Regulation does not permit the general approval of systems that incorporate functions by which the steering can be controlled by external signals, for example, transmitted from roadside beacons or active features embedded into the road surface. Such systems, which do not require the presence of a driver, have been defined as ‘Autonomous Steering Systems’.

This Regulation also prevents the approval of positive steering of trailers by means of electrical control from the towing vehicle as there are currently no standards applicable to this application. It is expected that at some time in the future, ISO 11992 will be amended to include messages associated with the transmission of steering control.

2.3.2. ‘Steering transmission’ means all components which form a functional link between the steering control and the road wheels.

The transmission is divided into two independent functions:

The control transmission and the energy transmission.

Where the term ‘transmission’ is used alone in this Regulation, it means both the control transmission and the energy transmission. A distinction is drawn between mechanical, electrical and hydraulic transmission systems or combinations thereof, according to the means by which the signals and/or energy is transmitted.

(a) To compensate a sudden, unexpected change in the side force of the vehicle, or;

(b) To improve the vehicle stability (e.g. side wind, differing adhesion road conditions ‘μ-split’), or;

(c) To correct lane departure. (e.g. to avoid crossing lane markings, leaving the road).

2.3.4.3. ‘Emergency Steering Function (ESF)’ means a control function which can automatically detect a potential collision and automatically activate the vehicle steering system for a limited duration, to steer the vehicle with the purpose of avoiding or mitigating a collision, with:

2.4.7. ‘Nominal radius of steering control’ means in the case of a steering wheel the shortest dimension from its centre of rotation to the outer edge of the rim. In the case of any other form of control it means the distance between its centre of rotation and the point at which the steering effort is applied. If more than one such point is provided, the one requiring the greatest effort shall be used.

2.4.14. An ACSF is in ‘standby mode’ when the function is switched on, but the conditions (e.g. system operating conditions, deliberate action from driver) for being active are not all met. In this mode, the system is not ready to generate a steering control action to assist the driver.

2.4.15. An ACSF is in ‘active mode’ (or ‘active’) when the function is switched on and the conditions for being active are met. In this mode, the system continuously or discontinuously controls the steering system is generating, or is ready to generate, a steering control action to assist the driver.

(b) Lateral movement of the vehicle towards the lane boundary;

(c) Lane Change Manoeuvre;

(d) Resumption of the lane keeping function;

5. CONSTRUCTION PROVISIONS

5.1. General provisions

5.1.1. The steering system shall ensure easy and safe handling of the vehicle up to its maximum design speed or in case of a trailer up to its technically permitted maximum speed. There shall be a tendency to self-centre when tested in accordance with paragraph 6.2 with the intact steering equipment. The vehicle shall meet the requirements of paragraph 6.2 in the case of motor vehicles and of paragraph 6.3 in the case of trailers.

The steering equipment shall be designed, constructed and fitted in such a way that it is capable of withstanding the stresses arising during normal operation of the vehicle, or combination of vehicles. The maximum steering angle shall not be limited by any part of the steering transmission unless specifically designed for this purpose. Unless otherwise specified, it will be assumed that for the purpose of this Regulation, not more than one failure can occur in the steering equipment at any one time and two axles on one bogie shall be considered as one axle.

5.1.5. The effectiveness of the steering equipment, including the electrical control lines, shall not be adversely affected by magnetic or electric fields. This shall be demonstrated by fulfilling the technical requirements and respecting the transitional provisions of UN Regulation No 10 by applying:

(a) The 03 series of amendments for vehicles without a coupling system for charging the Rechargeable Electric Energy Storage System (traction batteries);

(b) The 04 series of amendments for vehicles with a coupling system for charging the Rechargeable Electric Energy Storage System (traction batteries).

5.1.6. Advanced driver assistance steering systems shall only be approved in accordance with this Regulation where the function does not cause any deterioration in the performance of the basic steering system. In addition they shall be designed such that the driver may, at any time and by deliberate action, override the function.

5.1.6.1. A CSF system shall be subject to the requirements of Annex 6.

5.1.6.1.1. Every CSF intervention shall immediately be indicated to the driver by an optical warning signal which is displayed for at least 1 s or as long as the intervention exists, whichever is longer.

In the case of a CSF intervention which is controlled by an Electronic Stability Control (ESC) or a Vehicle Stability Function as specified in the relevant UN Regulation (i.e. UN Regulations Nos 13, 13-H or 140), the ESC flashing tell-tale indicating the interventions of ESC may be used, as long as the intervention exists, as an alternative to the optical warning signal specified above.

5.1.6.1.2. In the case of a CSF intervention which is based on the evaluation of the presence and location of lane

markings or boundaries of the lane the following shall apply additionally:

5.1.6.1.2.1. In the case of an intervention longer than:

(a) 10 s for vehicles of category M and N , or 1 1

(b) 30 s for vehicles of category M , M and N , N , 2 3 2 3 an acoustic warning signal shall be provided until the end of the intervention.14.12.2018 EN Official Journal of the European Union L 318/9

5.1.6.1.2.2. In the case of two or more consecutive interventions within a rolling interval of 180 seconds and in the absence of a steering input by the driver during the intervention, an acoustic warning signal shall be

provided by the system during the second and any further intervention within a rolling interval of 180 seconds. Starting with the third intervention (and subsequent interventions) the acoustic warning signal shall continue for at least 10 seconds longer than the previous warning signal.

5.1.6.1.3. The steering control effort necessary to override the directional control provided by the system shall not exceed 50 N in the whole range of CSF operations.

5.1.6.1.4. The requirements in paragraphs 5.1.6.1.1, 5.1.6.1.2 and 5.1.6.1.3 for CSF, which are reliant on the evaluation of the presence and location of lane markings or boundaries of the lane, shall be tested in accordance with the relevant vehicle test(s) specified in Annex 8 of this Regulation.

5.1.6.2. Vehicles equipped with an ESF shall fulfil the following requirements.

An ESF system shall be subject to the requirements of Annex 6.

5.1.6.2.1. Any ESF shall only start an intervention in the case where a risk of a collision is detected.

5.1.6.2.2. Any vehicle fitted with ESF shall be equipped with means to monitor the driving environment (e.g. lane markings, road edge, other road users) in line with the specified use case. These means shall monitor the driving environment at any time the ESF is active.

5.1.6.2.3. An automatic avoidance manoeuvre initiated by an ESF shall not lead the vehicle to leave the road.

5.1.6.2.3.1. In the case of an ESF intervention on a road or a lane delimited with lane markings on one or both side(s), an automatic avoidance manoeuver initiated by an ESF shall not lead the vehicle to cross a lane marking.

However, if the intervention starts during a lane change performed by the driver or during an unintentional drift into the adjacent lane, the system may steer the vehicle back into its original lane of travel.

5.1.6.2.3.2. In the absence of a lane marking on one or on both side(s) of the vehicle, a single ESF intervention is permitted, provided that it does not produce a lateral offset of the vehicle greater than 0,75 m in a direction where the lane marking is absent. The lateral offset during the automatic avoidance manoeuvre shall be determined using a fixed point on the front of the vehicle at the start and at the conclusion of the ESF intervention.

5.1.6.2.4. The ESF intervention shall not lead the vehicle to collide with another road user (1).

5.1.6.2.5. The manufacturer shall demonstrate during type approval, to the satisfaction of the Technical Service, which means to monitor the driving environment are fitted to the vehicle to satisfy the provisions in the subparagraphs of paragraph 5.1.6.2 above.

5.1.6.2.6. Any intervention of an ESF shall be indicated to the driver with an optical and with an acoustic or haptic warning signal to be provided at the latest with the start of the ESF intervention.

For this purpose appropriate signals used by other warning systems (e.g. blind spot detection, lane departure warning, forward collision warning) are deemed to be sufficient to fulfil the requirements for the respective optical, acoustic or haptic signals above.

5.1.6.2.7. A system failure shall be indicated to the driver with an optical warning signal. However, when the system is manually deactivated, the indication of failure mode may be suppressed.

5.1.6.2.8. The steering control effort necessary to override the directional control provided by the system shall not exceed 50 N.

5.1.6.2.9. The vehicle shall be tested in accordance with the relevant vehicle tests specified in Annex 8 of this UN Regulation.

(1) Until uniform test procedures have been agreed, the manufacturer shall provide the Technical Service with documentation and supporting evidence to demonstrate compliance with this provision.

(b) The system is overridden or switched off by the driver;

(c) The system reaches its boundaries (e.g. lane markings are no longer detected);

(d) The system has detected that the driver is not holding the steering control at the start of the lane change manoeuvre;

(e) The direction indicator lamps are manually deactivated by the driver;

(f) The lane change manoeuvre has not commenced within 5,0 seconds following the deliberate action of the driver described in paragraph 5.6.4.6.2;

5.6.4.6.8.2. Manual deactivation of the lane change procedure, using the manual control of the direction indicator, shall be possible for the driver at any time.

5.6.4.7. Critical situation A situation is deemed to be critical when, at the time a lane change manoeuvre starts, an approaching vehicle in the target lane would have to decelerate at a higher level than 3m/s2, 0,4 seconds after the lane change manoeuvre has started, to ensure the distance between the two vehicles is never less than that which the lane change vehicle travels in 1 second.

The resulting critical distance at the start of the lane change manoeuvre shall be calculated using the

following formula:

S = (v – v ) * t + (v – v )2/(2 * a) + v * t critical rear ACSF B rear ACSF ACSF G

Where: v is The actual speed of the approaching vehicle or 130 km/h whatever value is lower rear v is The actual speed of the ACSF vehicle ACSF a = 3 m/s2 (Deceleration of the approaching vehicle) t = 0,4 s (Time after the start of the lane change manoeuvre at which the deceleration of the B approaching vehicle starts) t = 1 s (Remaining gap of the vehicles after the deceleration of the approaching vehicle).

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 UN Regulation which are controlled by electronic system(s) (paragraph 2.3) as far as this UN 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 UN Regulation and that it is designed to operate in such a way that it does not induce safety critical risks.

The applicant (e.g. the manufacturer) may provide evidence that an Auxiliary Steering Equipment (ASE) (if fitted) has previously been assessed as part of an approval in accordance with the requirements of Annex 4 of this UN Regulation (as required under the original version of this UN Regulation, its 01 or its 02 series of amendments). In this case, the requirements of this Annex shall not be applied to that ASE for the purposes of an approval in accordance with the 03 series of amendments.

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 UN Regulation applies. This also includes any other system covered in the scope of this UN Regulation, as well as transmission links to or from other systems that are outside the scope of this UN Regulation, that acts on a function to which this UN 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 cooperate 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 UN Regulation. The transmission links to and from overriding systems/function outside of the scope of this UN 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.

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.14.12.2018 EN Official Journal of the European Union L 318/33

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 UN 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.

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 2.7) exercised on each such variable shall be defined.

3.2.3. Limits defining the boundaries of functional operation (paragraph 2.8) shall be stated where appropriate to system performance.L 318/34 EN Official Journal of the European Union 14.12.2018

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 UN 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.

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.14.12.2018 EN Official Journal of the European Union L 318/35

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 considera­ tion 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.

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 controll­ ability and user information (HMI aspects).L 318/36 EN Official Journal of the European Union 14.12.2018

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.14.12.2018 EN Official Journal of the European Union L 318/37 APPENDIX 1 Model assessment form for electronic systems
