Performance based standards and active vehicle stability systems

This paper assesses whether or not the Australian Performance Based Standards (PBS) are still relevant in light of emerging active safety technologies. It includes are review of the various technologies available, how they affect on-road PBS performance, the tensions between delivering safety and productivity and an evaluation of alternative regulatory mechanisms, in particular ECE R13.ll. Finally, it proposes alternative tests that might supplement the PBS Scheme and provide the possibility to improve safety and productivity outcomes.
