Reversing test in motion Clause Samples
The 'Reversing test in motion' clause defines the procedures and requirements for conducting a test of a vehicle's ability to reverse while it is already in motion. Typically, this clause outlines the conditions under which such a test should be performed, such as the speed limits, safety precautions, and the roles of personnel involved. For example, it may specify that the test must be conducted in a controlled environment with a spotter present to ensure safety. The core practical function of this clause is to ensure that reversing maneuvers are tested safely and effectively, thereby minimizing the risk of accidents and verifying the vehicle's operational capabilities.
Reversing test in motion. For a vehicle tested in an out-door facility, the path of the centreline of the vehicle shall follow line CC’ as closely as possible throughout the entire test. The rear plane of the vehicle shall pass from the line AA’ at the start of the test and the rear plane of the vehicle shall pass from the line BB’ at the end of the test, as shown on figure 1b. Any trailer, which is not readily separable from the towing vehicle, shall be ignored when considering the crossing of the line BB’. The vehicle shall maintain a constant test speed vtest when the rear plane of the vehicle passes between AA’ and BB’. A vehicle tested in an indoor facility, shall be located with the rear plane of the vehicle on the PP' line as shown in figure 2b. The vehicle shall maintain a constant test speed, vtest during at least 5 seconds. For constant speed test condition of 6 km/h, the test speed vtest shall be 6 km/h ± 2 km/h. For automatic transmission vehicle, the gear selector shall be placed as specified by the manufacturer for normal reverse driving. For manual transmission vehicle, the gear selector shall be placed in the highest reverse gear which can achieve the target vehicle speed with constant engine speed.

For a vehicle tested in an out-door facility, the path of the centreline of the vehicle shall follow line CC’ as closely as possible with constant speed v test throughout the entire test. The rear plane of the vehicle shall pass from the line AA’ at the start of the test and the front plane of the vehicle shall pass from the line BB’ at the end of the test, as shown on figure 1b. Any trailer, which is not readily separable from the towing vehicle, shall be ignored when considering the crossing of the line BB’..

For manual transmission vehicle, the gear selector shall be placed in the highest reverse gear which can achieve the target vehicle speed with constant engine speed.
Reversing test in motion. Method (A): For a vehicle tested in an outdoor facility, the path of the centreline of the vehicle shall follow line CC’ as closely as possible with constant speed vtest throughout the entire test. The rear plane of the vehicle shall pass from the line AA’ at the start of the test and the front plane of the vehicle shall pass from the line BB’ at the end of the test, as shown on Figure 1b of the Appendix to this annex. Any trailer, which is not readily separable from the towing vehicle, shall be ignored when considering the crossing of the line BB’.
