RELEASE DATE:2021-10-14 17:49
Brief: In a stationary or low-speed driving state, the front of M2, M3, N2, and N3 vehicles will have a certain blind spot due to the limited field of view, which usually causes serious consequences for vulnerable road users (VRU).

BRIEF INTRODUCTION OF MOIS
“Moving Off Information System (MOIS)” means a system to detect and inform the driver of the presence of pedestrians and cyclists in the close-proximity forward blind-spot of the vehicle and, if deemed necessary based on manufacturer strategy, warn the driver of a potential collision. That is, when the vehicle is ready to start from a static state or drive straight at a low speed of no more than 10km/h, an information signal will be activated to remind the driver of the presence of pedestrians and cyclists in the close-proximity forward blind-spot of the vehicle, the information signal is low-intensity, and can be activated early enough to remind the driver; When the risk of collision increases, for example, when the vehicle accelerates from a standstill and a pedestrian or cyclist is located directly in front of the vehicle, a collision warning signal will be issued to remind the driver.
SCOPE AND EFFECTIVE TIME
This Regulation applies to the approval of vehicles of categories M2, M3, N2 and N3 with regard to an onboard system to detect and inform the driver of the presence of pedestrians and cyclists in the close-proximity forward blind-spot of the vehicle and, if deemed necessary based on manufacturer strategy, warn the driver of a potential collision.

The UN R159 regulation has come into effect on June 10, 2021, and will be mandatory for M2, M3, N2, N3 new models on July 6, 2022, and be enforced to for M2, M3, N2, N3 new registrations on July 7, 2024.

MOIS MAIN TEST ITEMS ANALYSIS
1.Static Crossing Tests

Vehicle: the vehicle is stationary, but the main control switch has been activated and is in forward gear.
VRU: driving perpendicular to the vehicle longitudinal centerline plane, accelerating no more than 15m to reach a target speed of 3km/h or 5km/h, then uniformly to a distance of not less than 5m from the opposite plane of the vehicle.
Pass: VRU activates the information signal before reaching the last information point (dLPI) and the information signal is maintained all the time in the area surrounded by the maximum and minimum forward separation planes and the near- and far-side separation planes, which is shown in Figure 1 of Appendix 1, without activating the collision warning signal.
2.Longitudinal Stopping for Moving Off Cyclist Tests
VRU: driving perpendicular to the vehicle longitudinal centerline plane, accelerating no more than 15m to reach a target speed of 3km/h or 5km/h, then uniformly to a distance of not less than 5m from the opposite plane of the vehicle.
Pass: VRU activates the information signal before reaching the last information point (dLPI) and the information signal is maintained all the time in the area surrounded by the maximum and minimum forward separation planes and the near- and far-side separation planes, which is shown in Figure 1 of Appendix 1, without activating the collision warning signal.
2.Longitudinal Stopping for Moving Off Cyclist Tests

Vehicle: accelerate to 10+0/-0.5km/h before entering the parking lane, and then decelerate to a stop after 5m of uniform motion, with a deceleration distance of 10m, so that the front of the vehicle is at pstop, and so that the vehicle is no longer in forward gear.
VRU: at first stationary in the position of pcyc, the distance between the front of the vehicle and the most tail of the VRU 100 +10/-0mm gap, when the big car after stopping, after a delay of not less than 10s, the VRU began to accelerate from 0 straight line to 10 +0/-0.5km/h, acceleration distance within 5m, and then deceleration, lateral movement tolerance should not exceed ± 0.05m.
Pass: the large vehicle is activated before reaching the stopping plane distance (pstop) corresponding to the last information point (dLPI) in Figure 2 of Appendix 1, and the MOIS information signal is maintained until the VRU crosses at least the vehicle front distance associated with the maximum forward separation distance (dFSP) in Figure 2 of Appendix 1. The collision warning signal may be activated as appropriate.
3.Longitudinal Moving Off with Cyclist Tests

Vehicle: accelerate to 10+0/-0.5km/h before entering the parking lane, and then decelerate to a stop after 5m of uniform motion, with a deceleration distance of 10m, so that the front of the vehicle is at pstop, and so that the vehicle is no longer in forward gear.
VRU: at first stationary at the position of pcyc, the distance between the front of the vehicle and the most rear of the VRU 100+10/-0mm gap, when the big car is stopped, after a delay of not less than 10s, the big car and the VRU at the same time began to accelerate from 0 straight line to 10+0/-0.5km/h, the acceleration distance within 5m, and then maintain a uniform speed until the big car from the pstop at the total driving The distance is not less than 15m, and the tolerance of lateral movement of both the big car and VRU should not exceed ±0.05m.
Pass: The vehicle is activated before it reaches the stopping plane distance (pstop) corresponding to the last information point (dLPI) in Figure 2 of Appendix 1, and the MOIS information signal is maintained until the vehicle crosses a distance of at least 15m from the pstop in Figure 2 of Appendix 1. The collision warning signal can be activated depending on the situation.
