UNECE's Working Party on Automated/Autonomous and Connected Vehicles has adopted the draft of a new regulation that defines provisions for the approval of vehicles with Driver Control Assistance Systems (DCAS) and provides minimum safety requirements for vehicles equipped with the Advanced Driver Assistance System (ADAS), such as lane keep assist.

The 4activeFB-small platform uniquely supports forklift loads of up to 27 tons, maintaining stability even under the influence of rubber-wheeled devices, the main load on the front wheels, or rigid axles. This capability allows for realistic testing scenarios.

Mercedes-Benz will begin conditionally automated driving system testing on designated highways in Beijing while always adhering to its 'safety first' principle.

While numerous electronic control units usually control different functions in the car today, in the future just a few central vehicle computers will unite multiple system functions from previously separate domains. To do this, new computers with a powerful processor, known as a system on chip (SoC), are necessary.

read more ... More than a third (41 %) of drivers surveyed in a new study have turned off features in their car designed to keep them safe. Most drivers said they had switched off life-saving vehicle technology because they find it annoying, and many said they didn't think it would make them safer, according to the research by Brake and AXA UK.

The Kempten-based monitoring specialist, monalysis, has therefore developed a method that allows these tests to be carried out far more cost-effectively than before. The durability transfer process is based on high precision accelerometers from ASC and is used by MAN Truck & Bus SE among others.

read more ... It began with a simple question: is there a way to confirm seat belt safety for pregnant bellies? A Toyota team of four women and one man presented an idea in late 2022 that was simple but powerful: pregnant customers do not always feel they are safe and secure when using seat belts found in cars today due to seat belts fitting differently on pregnant bodies. Could Toyota help change that?

read more ... When drivers use assisted driving systems like Tesla's Autopilot, they are more likely to get distracted. New rules on driver monitoring for these systems was voted on in Geneva as part of work on a major new regulation on driver assistance systems that will apply in Europe in the future. ETSC's automation expert Frank Mütze takes a look at what s at stake, and argues that the time limit for the system to act when a driver is distracted should be shorter.

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration invites states, territories and tribes to apply for millions in grants to upgrade and standardize state crash data systems to enable full electronic data transfer to NHTSA. The program will also enable intrastate data sharing and improve the accuracy, timeliness and accessibility of fatality data, including data about pedestrians, cyclists and other vulnerable road users.
