ECE R151 Uniform Provisions Concerning the Approval of Motor Vehicles Regarding the Blind Spot Information System for Bicycle Detection

EUROLAB laboratory provides testing and compliance services within the scope of ECE R151 test standard. ECE R151 tests cover a series of tests carried out in accordance with the relevant regulation for the evaluation of blind spot information system (BSIS) equipment for the detection of cyclists in vehicles.

ECE regulations define cross-border technical regulations to establish approval or uniform approval procedures for motor vehicles and motor vehicle parts. Automated commercial vehicles are already fully eligible for approval only with appropriate individual measures in the country in which they will be used. What is missing is a set of rules at international ECE level.

Blind spot information system (BSIS) refers to a system that informs the driver of a possible collision with a nearby bicycle.

Turning maneuvers involving collisions between right-turning trucks and cyclists often occur at slower driving speeds or at a standstill, often with serious consequences for vulnerable road users (VRUs).

Since turning accidents still occur and driver assistance systems have been introduced in many vehicle segments, it is clear that such assistance systems must be used to prevent accidents between turning trucks and cyclists. High-intensity alerts during a driving situation are only validated when the probability of an accident is high, otherwise vehicle drivers tend to ignore system alerts.
