Type approval legislation for road vehicles
Focus: Braking and Automated Driving
This book provides a comprehensive overview of European Type Approval Regulation, focusing on braking regulations and the current discussions surrounding Automated, Autonomous, and Connected Vehicles. It clearly presents how type-approval and braking legislation are integrated into various regulatory frameworks, specifically the EU/Brussels and UN/Geneva. Key developments and guidelines, including Regulation (EU) 2018/858 and the anticipated Brexit on 31/10/2019, are thoroughly addressed. Aimed at individuals involved in type approval in Europe, this resource is valuable for professionals in ministries, authorities, industry, or those studying related fields. The author, Winfried Gaupp, served as Germany's representative on several international braking committees within the EU and Geneva. Following his retirement in 2011, he established his consulting firm, "Braking Regulations Consulting." This English-language book serves as an introduction, overview, and in-depth resource for non-German-speaking experts and engineers engaged in type approval in Europe.
