IGCMS-II-07-08 Rev.1
Presented by the expert from the Netherlands
Proposal:
Amend paragraph 16.1.5 to read:
16.1.5.
Monitor inside the vehicle
16.1.5.1
The following requirements shall refer to the portion of the monitor which shows
the required field of view.
16.1.5.1.
The monitor defined size shall be visible without any obstruction from the ocular
reference point. A virtual testing is acceptable.
16.1.5.1.12. The center of the monitor(s) shall not be below the plane forming an angle of not
more than 30° downwards in relation to the longitudinal horizontal plane through
[the midpoint of the] driver’s ocular reference point[s] defined in paragraph 12.1.
The center of the monitor(s) shall not be below a plane through the driver’s ocular
points, as defined in paragraph 12.1, and declined 30° below.
16.1.5.1.23. The arrangement of the monitor(s) inside the vehicle shall be in such a way as
expected by a driver.
This means, that the image of the right side field of view shall be presented to the
right of the longitudinal vertical plane through the ocular reference point, defined
in paragraph 12.6. The image of the left side field of view shall be presented to the
left of the longitudinal vertical plane through [the midpoint of the] driver’s ocular
reference point[s].
[NOTE:
A deviation from this arrangement may be discussed allowed for
specific vehicles used in typical driving conditions. This is however only allowed if
in scientific case studies significant advantages are shown for alternative
arrangements.]
If the CMS shows more than one field of vision on one display, non-continuous
images shall be clearly separated from each other.
16.1.5.2
The monitor defined size shall be visible without any obstruction from the ocular
reference point. A virtual testing is acceptable.
Justification: The provisions of 16.1.5 are originally derived from ISO 16505 and were related to the
part of the monitor rendering the field of vision; afterwards a provision to ban the
obstruction of the driver’s view on the monitor has been added and which refers to the
defined size of the monitor. To prevent any difference in interpretation a better wording
is needed.
