Levels of Automation
 Information
 Warning
IHRA-ITS
 Driver assistance (active pedal)
 Partial control of vehicle
functions (steering, stop&go)
 Complete control of vehicle
(AHS)

Rationalizing Automation
 Each level has unique safety
issues
 Each level must coexist with
other levels
 Progression from one level to
next is not incremental
– it represents a radical change

 Reduced exposure to unauthorized use
(elicense)
 Reduced traffic variance and conflicts
(through better traffic management and
improved interaction between driver and other
road users)
 Reduced driver stress and fatigue

ITS Safety, or IS IT?

IHRA-ITS
ITS technology is safety neutral Its implementation is safety critical
Driving Task

ITS
Safety impact depends largely on the
extent to which the system supports
users’ needs, and is compatible with
human capabilities and limitations

Government’s Role

 Discourage technologies/implementations

that are likely to have an adverse effect on
safety
 Encourage implementation of
technologies that are likely to have safety
benefits

IHRA-ITS
IHRA-ITS : Objectives
 to coordinate international policy-oriented
research to minimize the potential adverse
consequences of on-board ITS technologies.
 to develop procedures for the evaluation of
safety of in-vehicle information, control and
communication systems.
 to provide an international view of the state of
research into understanding the safety impact
of driver workload and distraction.

Aspects of System Safety
1. System Reliability
•
IHRA-ITS
Reliability of hardware and software, the propensity for
malfunction and the potential to go into a dangerous and/or
unanticipated safety mode.
2. Human Machine Interaction (HMI)
•
Key issues are function allocation, the design of interface,
definition of dialogue between the user and the system.
3. Overall Traffic System
•
The aggregate effect on the traffic system as a whole.

Scope
 includes original and aftermarket on-
board information, control and
communication systems, including
IHRA-ITS
• telematics
• driver assistance systems, and
• collision warning and avoidance systems

Importance of ITS Safety
Research
 Expands ESV’s role into crash avoidance
 Elaborates the role of governments with
IHRA-ITS
respect to ITS safety
 ITS safety is currently unregulated;
therefore, there is a reasonable prospect
for harmonized policies based on shared
scientific understanding of the issues

Key Challenges for Government
 Traditional policy paradigms not
suitable:
IHRA-ITS
• Design cycle shorter than policy cycle
• Technology is diversifying rapidly
• Science lags technology
 Integration by consumer, not industry
 Jurisdictional boundaries no longer valid

IHRA-WP.29 Liaison
 IHRA research focus
• Summarize state of knowledge
• Coordinate joint research
• Develop test procedures
 WP.29 to identify regulatory needs and
priorities. IHRA to coordinate the
regulatory development research to
support WP.29 work program

Recommendations vis WP.29
 coordinate with WP.1 and WP.15 on ITS-
related matters (ISA)
 Develop strategy for global regulation
development for on-board ITS
• ST – coordinate among existing GR’s, lead?
• LT – create new GR
 utilize IHRA-ITS WG as Informal Group
for ITS-related matters

Possible Short Term Plan
 GRRF – Collision avoidance, driver
assistance (ACC, ESP), ISA
 GRE/GRRF?– Reliability (Annex 18)
 GRE/GRSG? – Collision and drowsiness
warning, vision enhancement,
maneuvering aids
 GRSG – Telematics, navigation
 GRSP – Collision mitigation?
