New EU Regulations and Compliance Requirements

The new EU General Safety Regulation (GSR) introduces major updates for vehicle safety compliance. As of July 2024, all newly registered M and N category vehicles must be equipped with EU-standard safety systems, including:

• Intelligent Vehicle Front Blind Spot Warning System (MOIS)
• Intelligent Vehicle Side Blind Spot Warning System (BSIS)
• Rear Monitoring and Detection System (REIS/RVCS)
• Driver Distraction Warning (ADDW) System
• Intelligent Speed Assistance (ISA)

Additionally, by October 2024, the Direct Vision Standard (DVS) Progressive Safety System (PSS) in London, UK, will be upgraded to DVS 2024 Progressive Safety System, requiring further compliance from commercial vehicles.

Successful Vehicle Test Achievement

In April 2024, a domestic new energy vehicle manufacturer conducted a vehicle certification test using AUTOEQUIPS’ EU-compliant safety products. The test was successfully passed through collaborative efforts by:

• Chongqing China Automotive Research Institute
• The Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM)
• AUTOEQUIPS
• Other industry stakeholders

Key Highlight: ADDW System Validation

A major highlight of the test was the successful verification of the Driver Distraction Warning (ADDW) system algorithm. The ADDW system:

• Utilizes line-of-sight tracking and eye movement analysis to detect driver distraction.
• Issues real-time alerts to enhance driver safety and reduce accident risks.

This technology was already introduced in 2023 with the Driver Drowsiness and Attention Warning (DDAW) system. The latest successful certification further solidifies AUTOEQUIPS’ leadership in automotive safety innovation.
