Full title and description

Intelligent transport systems — Devices to aid reverse manoeuvres — Extended-range backing aid systems (ERBA). This international standard specifies minimum functional and performance requirements, failure indication and test procedures for extended-range backing aid systems intended to assist drivers of light-duty vehicles during reverse manoeuvres.

Abstract

ISO 22840:2010 defines requirements for ERBA systems that detect and provide information about relevant obstacles located in an extended area aft of a light-duty vehicle. The standard sets minimum detection and warning behaviour (including dynamic warnings), performance test methods, requirements for failure indication and guidance on driver information strategy. It is intended to complement, not replace, conventional interior and exterior mirrors and does not address automatic braking or heavy‑vehicle reversing aids.

Scope

Applies to extended‑range backing aid (ERBA) systems for light‑duty vehicles (for example passenger cars, pick‑ups, light vans and SUVs). The standard establishes minimum functionality and performance that drivers can expect from ERBA systems used to detect obstacles at an extended range behind the vehicle, specifies test objects and test procedures (with emphasis on common sensor technologies such as ultrasonic and radar), and gives requirements for failure indication and driver information strategy. It excludes short‑range reversing aids intended for immediate rear‑area parking, visibility‑only camera systems without ranging/warning functions, heavy commercial‑vehicle reversing aids and automatic vehicle actions such as automatic braking.

Key topics and requirements

• Definition and intended application of ERBA systems for light‑duty vehicles.
• Minimum detection range and detection performance requirements for relevant obstacles.
• Detection latency requirements, including start‑up latency and delays in indications and warnings.
• Dynamic collision‑danger estimation and requirement for dynamic (urgent) warnings at higher relative closing speeds.
• Driver interface and information strategy: recommended approaches for warnings and optional distance indications.
• Failure indication requirements and expectations for system reliability.
• Performance test procedures and test objects that reflect common sensing technologies (ultrasonic, radar).
• Requirement that ERBA systems supplement—rather than replace—rear‑view mirrors; exclusion of automatic control actions from the standard scope.

Typical use and users

Used by automotive OEMs and suppliers designing or validating extended‑range reverse‑aid systems, test laboratories performing compliance and performance verification, regulatory and vehicle safety bodies assessing equipment, and standards committees and researchers working on intelligent transport and vehicle‑sensing systems.

FAQ

Q: What is this standard?

A: ISO 22840:2010 is an international standard that specifies functional and performance requirements, failure indication and test procedures for extended‑range backing aid systems used on light‑duty vehicles.

Q: What does it cover?

A: It covers detection and warning requirements for obstacles located in an extended area behind the vehicle, performance testing (including test objects), detection latency and driver information strategy. It does not cover short‑range parking aids without extended range, heavy‑vehicle reversing aids, visibility‑only camera systems without ranging/warning, or automatic vehicle actions such as automatic braking.

Q: Who typically uses it?

A: Vehicle manufacturers, component suppliers (sensors and ECU/software), test laboratories, safety assessors, and standards developers working on vehicle reverse‑aid systems and intelligent transport system components.

Q: Is it current or superseded?

A: Published in April 2010 (Edition 1) and recorded as an ISO International Standard. The ISO record indicates the standard is maintained under a regular review cycle; it is not listed as superseded by a later ISO edition as of the standard's latest ISO lifecycle record.

Q: Is it part of a series?

A: It belongs to the family of ISO intelligent transport systems (ISO/TC 204) standards addressing vehicle manoeuvring and sensing. It is related to other standards covering short‑range manoeuvring aids, heavy‑vehicle reversing aids and human‑machine interface/display requirements.

Q: What are the key keywords?

A: Extended‑range backing aid (ERBA), reversing aid, obstacle detection, intelligent transport systems, ultrasonic, radar, detection range, dynamic warning, driver interface.
