Vehicles with an automated driving system must be equipped with a data storage system for automated driving (DSSAD).
The DSSAD only operates while the automated driving system is activated.
The DSSAD must record the following events:
the start and end of an emergency manoeuvre;
the trigger input for event-related data recording;
collisions;
safety-relevant technical failures in the automated driving system;
safety-relevant technical failures of the vehicle;
the execution of a minimum risk manoeuvre by the automated driving system;
the start of a lane change procedure or an intentional lane crossing if this:
occurred within 30 seconds before a minimum risk manoeuvre or an event under letters a-c or h, or
occurred within five seconds before a system override by the driver of the vehicle;
the cancellation of a lane change procedure;
the end of a lane change procedure or an intentional lane crossing if it occurred within 30 seconds before a minimum risk manoeuvre or an event under letters a-c.
It must record the following data items:
the type of event and any reason for it;
the date with resolution YYYY/MM/DD;
the timestamp with resolution hh/mm/ss, with time zone and an accuracy of +/- 1 s;
for driverless vehicles: the position of the vehicle by specifying the GNSS coordinates.
For each recorded event, the RX software identification number (RXSWIN) or the software versions of the automated driving system must be clearly identifiable, indicating the software version that was being used when the event occurred.
If multiple events are recorded simultaneously, a single timestamp is permitted within the timing resolution of the specific data elements. If more than one event is recorded with the same timestamp, the information must indicate the chronological order of the individual events.
The DSSAD must comply with one of the following regulations:
Where the UNECE and EU regulations on the DSSAD in accordance with paragraph 7 and Annex 2 RVTRO stipulate requirements other than those in paragraphs 3 and 4, the requirements of the corresponding international regulations shall take precedence.
