ISO 17386:2010 Transport information and control systems - Manoeuvring Aids for Low Speed Operation (MALSO) - Performance requirements and test procedures
This International Standard addresses light-duty vehicles, e.g. passenger cars, pick-up trucks, light vans and
sport utility vehicles (motorcycles excluded) equipped with MALSO systems. It specifies minimum functionality
requirements which the driver can generally expect of the device, i.e. detection of and information on the
presence of relevant obstacles within a defined (short) detection range. It defines minimum requirements for
failure indication as well as performance test procedures; it includes rules for the general information strategy
but does not restrict the kind of information or display system.
MALSO systems use object-detection devices (sensors) for ranging in order to provide the driver with
information based on the distance to obstacles. The sensing technology is not addressed; however,
technology affects the performance-test procedures set up in this International Standard (see Clause 7). The
current test objects are defined based on systems using ultrasonic sensors, which reflect the most commonly
used technology at the time of publishing this International Standard. For other sensing technologies possibly
coming up in the future, these test objects shall be checked and changed if required.
Visibility-enhancement systems like video-camera aids without distance ranging and warning are not covered
by this International Standard.
