61 If the vehicle has a variable seating capacity, standing capacity or is designed to carry one or more wheelchairs, in respect of any area of the passenger compartment in which such variations occur, the loads in paragraph shall be the greater of: (a) The mass represented by the number of seated passengers that may occupy the area including the mass of any demountable seats; or (b) The mass represented by the number of standing passengers that may occupy the area; or (c) The mass of wheelchairs and users that may occupy the area at a total mass of 250 kg each placed at a height of 500 mm above the floor in the centre of each wheelchair space; or (d) The mass of seated passengers, standing passengers and wheelchairs users and any combination of these that may occupy the area.

62 The height of any step used to prevent a wheel of the vehicle from slipping sideways on a tilt test rig shall not be greater than two-thirds of the distance between the surface upon which the vehicle stands before it is tilted and that part of the rim of that wheel which is nearest to the surface when the vehicle is loaded in accordance with paragraph During the test, no parts of vehicle which are not intended to come into contact in normal use shall not do so, nor shall any part become damaged or deranged Alternatively, a calculation method can be used to show that the vehicle will not overturn under the conditions described in paragraphs and Such a calculation shall take into account the following parameters: Masses and dimensions; Height of centre of gravity; Spring rates; Vertical and horizontal tire rates; Characteristics of the control of air pressure in the air springs; Position of the centre of moments; Torsion resistance of the body. The method of calculation is described in Appendix 1 to this annex. Cf. Japanese alternative requirement is 35degrees under running order mass condition.

63 Annex 3 - Appendix Verification of static tilting limit by means of calculation 1. A vehicle may be shown to meet the requirement specified in paragraph 7.4. of Annex3 by a calculation method approved by the Technical Service for conducting the tests. 2. The Technical Service responsible for conducting the tests may require tests to be carried out on parts of the vehicle to verify the assumptions made in the calculation. 3. Preparations for calculation The vehicle shall be represented by a spatial system Due to the location of the centre of gravity of the body of the vehicle and the different spring rates of the vehicle suspension and tires, axles do not generally lift simultaneously on one side of the vehicle as a result of lateral acceleration. Therefore, lateral tilting of the body over each axle has to be ascertained on the supposition that the wheels of the other axle(s) remain on the ground To simplify matters The air suspension control should not be taken into account The following parameters, at tleast, shall llbe taken into account: Vehicle data such as wheel base, tread width and sprung/unsprung masses, location o of the centre of gravity of the vehicle, deflection and rebound and the spring rate of the vehicle suspension, considering also non-linearity, horizontal and vertical spring rate of the tyres, torsion of the superstructure, location of the roll centre of the axles. 4. Validity of the calculation method.shall be established to the satisfaction of the Technical Service, e.g. on the basis of a comparative test with a similar vehicle.

95 ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRSG/2013/3 I. Proposal Annex 3, paragraph , amend to read: " The gangway(s) of a vehicle shall be so designed and constructed as to permit the free passage of a gauging device consisting of two co-axial cylinders with an inverted truncated cone interposed between them, the gauging device having the dimensions shown in Annex 4, figure 6. The gauging device may come into contact with strap hangers, if fitted, or other flexible objects such as seat belt components and move them easily away; In vehicles of classes I and A, the gauging device according to Annex 4, figure 6 shall not come into contact with any monitor or display device mounted from the ceiling above the gangway. The gauging device according to Annex 4, figure 6, may come into contact with a turnstile or a barrier mounted after the service door to check the access of the passengers provided that the maximum force necessary to move such barrier out of the way, when applying the gauging device along the gangway in both directions, does not exceed [50] Newton. In vehicles of classes II, III and B, the gauging device according to Annex 4, figure 6 may come into contact with any monitor or display device mounted from the ceiling above the gangway provided the maximum force necessary to move any such monitor or display device out of the way, when applying the gauging device along the gangway in both directions, does not exceed 20 Newton. After being moved out of the way, the monitor or display device shall remain in the retracted position." II. Justification The installation of systems to control the access of passengers on board is often required by transport operators. Therefore, safety requirements to ensure that passengers can easily evacuate the bus should be established and applied to both situations accordingly, system installed by the bus manufacturer or installed in a second stage by the transport operator. For this reason, it is proposed that the access control system, which may be a turnstile or a barrier shall easily be moved in both directions under a force of 50 Newton (see examples below). 2

Justification Main body of the text: Paragraph Addition of a definition "overnight locking system" including the item in the Regulation, per paragraphs (service doors) and (emergency doors). According to the International Road Union (IRU), centralized overnight unlocking would be appreciated by most European operators in order to facilitate some basic security features. The SDWEE informal group agreed to address this issue as centralized overnight locking system(s) might interfere with the functioning of the emergency exits. Paragraph Addition of a definition "emergency lighting system". The SDWEE informal group agreed adding provisions for emergency lighting system are a practical way to help the occupants of a vehicle reach the exits in case of emergency. Paragraph The informal group found relevant the introduction of new provisions for safety signs in order to improve the level of safety from signage harmonization. The informal group agreed to introduce the provisions relating to the safety signs in a re-written paragraph (Safety signs). Paragraph 10 (transitional provisions) The informal group agreed on quite long transitional provisions to enable industry to adjust their production accordingly. 12

114 ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRSG/2012/15 Annex 3 Paragraph None of the conditions described in paragraph are applicable to the driver's compartment. Paragraph is the most suitable but in most vehicles it is impossible to move the panel forward by 660 mm as the dashboard in front of the driver is usually curved so that the controls are within the driver's reach. The proposal is that the gangway test gauge is moved to coincide with the driver's seat back (as for the forward facing passenger seat and for paragraph describing how a driver's door can be used as an exit for passengers) and then the panel is moved to the foremost point of the driver's seat cushion. This would ensure that the driver has sufficient free height and width when accessing or leaving his seat. Paragraph The requirements for emergency windows are specified in paragraph so greater precise would be achieved by copying the current text of paragraph into paragraph Paragraph The minimum dimensions are applicable to service doors only. This paragraph is clearer if it only deals with the driver's seat and seats alongside (without a passageway to the passenger's compartment). The requirements for the five additional seats would be transferred into a new paragraph ( ). Paragraph The last sentence of paragraph , which helps to define the technical requirements for the exits defined in paragraphs and should be moved into its own paragraph Having prescribed when and where exits are required, the technical requirements should immediately follow. Paragraph renumbered as The text of existing paragraph is difficult to understand. The intention is that when the driver's compartment and any passenger seats alongside the driver do not have an acceptable passageway to a passenger compartment, then the driver's door and the passengers' door on the opposite side of the vehicle are not accessible to any other passengers and shall not be counted as exits for the passenger compartment occupants. The passenger compartment requires that the number of exits as defined in paragraph does not count the driver's and front passenger's doors. New paragraph Moved from paragraph and modified to make it clear that: (a) the five additional seats are in addition to any passenger seats alongside the driver; (b) as there is no passageway between the front seats (driver's and adjacent passengers') and the five additional seats, these additional seats must be considered as being in a separate compartment with the required number of exits (two), one of which must be an emergency door giving access to the main passenger compartment. Note: Paragraphs and are specific to vehicles in which there is an acceptable passageway from the driver's and adjacent passengers' seats to the passenger compartment. Paragraph stipulates that in such vehicles an external exit is not required from the driver's compartment, but paragraph indicates that if an exit is 13

115 ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRSG/2012/15 provided it can be counted as an exit for the passengers with no limit on the number of passengers. Paragraph Clarification that when there is an acceptable passageway between the passengers' compartment and the driver's compartment, the driver's door and/or the front passengers' door can only be used for passengers in vehicles of Class A or B. This possibility came from UN Regulation No. 52 and did not exist in UN Regulation No. 36. Paragraph The requirements for emergency doors are specified in paragraph so it is more precise to specify this paragraph rather than paragraph , which applies to all exits. Paragraph Paragraph refers to a test gauge and not to a panel. The word "can" is more appropriate than "could". Paragraph The threshold for an additional escape hatch is brought back from 50 to 30 for the sake of improved safety as roof hatches are usually the main emergency exit when the vehicle is on its side. The wording is improved for better clarity. Paragraph This paragraph was last amended in document ECE/TRANS/WP.29/2011/36. The SDWEE informal group, however, believes that the new safety provisions should not be limited to the vehicles of Class I and A. In addition, some guideline for verification is appreciated by a reference to UN Regulation No The SDWEE informal group expects some decision from GRSG about this added sentence. Paragraphs and The experts in the informal group were keen to improve safety by switching the threshold number of passengers for vehicles of Class II from 50 to 30, in spite of the challenge this represents for some short Class II vehicles. Paragraphs to Clarification of the conditions for the driver's door to be considered as an emergency door for the occupants of the passenger compartment. Paragraph The informal group agreed to improve the clarity of the text by separating the provisions applying to the vehicles of Classes I, II and III (paragraph ) from the provisions applying to the vehicles of Classes A and B (paragraph ). Paragraph Editorial improvement Paragraph The informal group agreed to extend the allowance of an additional door in the rear face of the vehicle, to door(s) intended for cargo (food, luggage, skis, etc.). This provision is linked to the provision of paragraph

116 ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRSG/2012/15 Paragraph Already in the current text of the Regulation, this paragraph addresses the case of vehicles crossing the Channel or operated in airports. Examples of such circumstances include vehicles for airside use at airports, vehicles for use on multimodal transport systems using island platforms, or vehicles which cross borders to countries which do not drive on the same side of the road as the country in which the vehicle is to be licensed for operation. Paragraph The wording of the current text of the former paragraph is transferred to a new paragraph addressing the vehicles of Classes A and B. Paragraph (new) This paragraph and its subparagraphs are the consequence of rearranging the provisions as explained above (see justification to paragraph ) The proposed wording is based on the second part of the former paragraph Paragraphs to These provisions are taken from the former paragraph 1.2. of Annex 7. Paragraph : replaces "passenger space" (paragraph of current Annex 7) with "passenger compartment". Paragraph (new) (a) The informal group agreed that a suitable solution does not currently exist for the lower deck of double deck vehicles. (b) Class I single deck vehicles and Class A vehicles are not expected to roll over, hence do not need any roof hatch. (c) According to paragraph , vehicles of Class I and A shall not have escape hatches fitted where technical components are installed which causes a possible danger to passengers using the escape hatches (e.g. high voltage systems, systems containing dangerous liquids and/or gas, etc.). Paragraph (new) Self-explanatory wording improvement. Paragraph The informal group was keen to revise the minimum dimensions of the emergency doors in order to align them with the evolution of the technology and with the corpulence of average users (elderly people, etc.). In this view, the experts found appropriate to take over the dimensions corresponding to the 50 th percentile male anthropologic dimensions per HFDS 2003 (amended in October 2009) Chapter 14 "Anthropometry and biomechanics" (Human Factors Design Standard of the US Federal Aviation Association see also document SDWEE ). This choice was considered consistent with the height of the passenger compartment gauges which currently are stopped at the door (1,400 mm height). Paragraph EURO VI Class II and III vehicle rear end space demand makes it technically challenging to go beyond the current 350 x 1,550 mm requirement; as a consequence the informal group proposes not to amend the provisions of paragraphs and 4. 15

117 ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRSG/2012/15 Paragraph Increasing the required dimensions of the escape hatches is considered an improvement of the level of safety. The proposal increases the surface of the hatch by 12.5 per cent in order to take into account the situations in the real world, i.e. the occupants wearing winter clothes, elderly people, etc. With the same attention given to safety, the minimum area of the rectangle to be inscribed in the hatch aperture is increased by 20 per cent. However, it was decided not to increase the dimensions of the exits on the sides of the vehicles: (a) Space on the top is limited, while the currently required dimensions for the side exits are already considered sufficient. (b) The size of the hatches was also increased as an answer to the request from the rescue services (German, BASt research) to pass injured passengers though the hatches. (c) Usually, most of the time when the vehicle is standing on its wheels in case of emergency, the service doors are used for egress, rather than the side emergency exits. Paragraph The technical requirements of the service doors are considered out of the scope of the SDWEE informal group, except for the addition of provisions relating to overnight locking systems (paragraphs and following). Paragraph to See justifications to the new paragraph (definition of "overnight locking system") Paragraph The current paragraph permits that emergency doors are power-operated provided that they meet certain provisions. One of these provisions suggests that there must be an emergency device for opening the emergency door. However, the current wording refers to one of the devices prescribed in paragraph , being the emergency devices for the power operated service doors. This could bring to the (wrong) conclusion that a poweroperated emergency door can only be opened by the emergency device for service door(s). The proposed wording clarifies that either such a control or a control for the dedicated emergency door can be used to operate the door. Paragraph See justifications to paragraph 2.41 (overnight locking system). Paragraph Most manufacturers place anti-vandalism film inside the vehicle, even before type approval. This item is also checked at PTI stations, where the operator becomes responsible. Some Contracting Parties require the manufacturer to show that the behaviour of the window is not negatively affected by the film, according to UN Regulations Nos. 107 and 43. Paragraph The paragraphs to replaced by the new paragraphs to Paragraph The informal group believes that such harmonization is the correct approach for safety. This amendment however justifies the proposed transitional provisions. 16

118 ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRSG/2012/15 Paragraph The informal group agreed to favour pictograms in all cases, with supplementary explanatory wording when necessary. Paragraphs to The informal group supported the mandatory indication of a movement where appropriate and the harmonization of the safety signs structure. Paragraph Minimum requirements for signage format for improved readability. Upper case words are more difficult to read than lower case words. Paragraph While the proposed requirement for "photo-luminescent" signs could preclude other systems, the informal group found the benefits in terms of safety more important. Paragraph The informal group proposes this wording as a solution to the challenge offered to the operators to make the safety signs visible while in the same time equipping the vehicles with blinds and curtains. Paragraphs to The informal group believes that such harmonization improves the general safety in an emergency situation. Paragraph This item addresses the case which led to the creation of the SDWEE informal group. It was found important for safety reasons that the way of egress through an emergency window situated in the rear face of the vehicle remains free of obstacle. Some improvement in the wording was considered important in order to avoid that this provision jeopardises the safety improvement provided by other components like seat belts, headrests, seatbacks, etc. In this view, the experts agreed that some movement of such features should be permitted under the condition that it does obstruct the egress of the passengers in case of emergency. Paragraph (former) Reports on bus accidents have shown that the emergency hatches in the roof are only used when the bus or coach has tipped over. While the bus or coach is in the driving position, the emergency hatches are not used by the passengers in the case of emergency. Therefore it is justifiable that no exit support is required. Figure 26 of Annex 4, to which these paragraphs refer, should be deleted as well. Paragraph The informal group agreed that some safety improvement could be achieved in the medium term by regulating emergency lighting. Requirements for emergency lighting are derived from the application in the United Kingdom of EN (Railway applications - Electrical lighting for rolling stock in public transport systems). Annex 4 Figure 26: Figure 26 is deleted as a consequence of the deletion of paragraph : emergency hatches in the roof are only used when the bus or coach has tipped. 17

119 ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRSG/2012/15 Annex 7 Paragraph 1.1. Increasing the escape hatch dimensions improves the capacity of the occupants to egress in case of emergency. See also justifications to paragraph Paragraph 1.2. The provisions of this paragraph are transferred to paragraph
