Scope
Specifies the test scenarios and scoring for systems that detect and respond to vulnerable road users — pedestrians, bicyclists and powered-two-wheeler/motorcyclist targets — via autonomous emergency braking and VRU-directed lane support. Centres on the vehicle's ability to perceive VRUs that may be outside or late in the driver's own field of attention and to warn and brake on the driver's behalf. Version 4.5.1 (February 2024); implementation from 2023.
