South Korea: Automated Driving Systems (ADS) harmonization with UN requirements

 

South Korea has published MOLIT Notice No. 2022-670 of 26 May 2022 which contains a revision of “Rules on the Performance and Standards for Motor Vehicles and their Parts”.  It adapts the Korean Motor Vehicle Safety Standards (KMVSS) to the recent UN Regulation 157.

This amendment updates the Automated Driving System (ADS) requirements of KMVSS which were introduced in 2019 for supporting the commercialization for Automated vehicles (Level 3) in line with international regulation (UN R157 and its supplement 1) in March 2021.

The following amendments will be made:

  1. Harmonizing with the UN R157 for performance requirements of Automated Lane Keeping Systems(ALKS) (Draft Table 27 Paragraph 1 related to Article 111-3)

1) Improving of the requirements of dedicated means of activation and deactivation of system for ALKS (Draft Table 27 paragraph 1, Item 1)

2) The requirements of the control and detection of other road users and environmental conditions under the DDT(Dynamic Driving Task) (Draft Table 27 Paragraph 1, Item 2)

3) Amending of indication method for the minimum following distance (Draft Table 27 Paragraph 1, Item 2)

4) Strengthening requirements of forward, lateral detection range and minimum forward detection distance of ALKS (Draft Table 27 Paragraph 1, Item 3)

5) Improving the requirements of initiation timing of transition demand to driver (Draft Table 27 Paragraph 1, Item 4)

6) Strengthening the requirements of information to the driver (Human-Machine-Interface) (Draft Table 27 Paragraph 1, Item 5)

7) Amending the requirements of Minimum Risk Manoeuvre (Draft Table 27 Paragraph 1, Item 6)

8) Clarifying the requirements of Emergency Manoeuvre (Draft Table 27 Paragraph 1, Item 7)

  1. Harmonizing with the UN R157 for Driver Availability Recognition System of Automated Lane Keeping Systems(ALKS) (Draft Table 27 Paragraph 2 related to Article 111-3)

1) Simplifying the requirements of criteria for deeming driver availability (Draft Table 27 Paragraph 2, Item 3)

2) Introducing the detection requirements of driver availability (Draft Table 27 Paragraph 2, Item 4)

  1. Improving the current text of Article 111-3

These amendments will be applied to new type vehicles only.

This amendment may generate benefits that could lead to reductions in development burden in manufacturer complying with the UN automated driving regulation.  It is a good step towards a wider harmonization of requirements for automated driving.

The proposed date of adoption is July 2022 or later.
