1 Scope
This document specifies test methods to evaluate the behaviour of a vehicle equipped
with an acceleration control pedal error (ACPE) system according to ISO/PAS 19486. Those forward and reverse accidents occur during a straight-line acceleration when
the vehicle under test (VUT) accelerates due to driver misapplication of accelerator pedal instead of intended
brake pedal. This document is limited to ACPE systems of light vehicles only classified
in UN-ECE (TRANS/WP.29/1045) Vehicle: “Category 1-1 vehicle” and does not apply to
such devices installed in vehicles of other categories, such as heavy vehicles or
motorcycles. This document focuses on an important part of the vehicle behaviour during
these collision scenarios, which is the capacity to avoid or mitigate the collision
especially to the other vehicle.
