R151
Blind Spot Information System (BSIS)
Blind Spot Information System (BSIS) is an advanced automotive safety feature that utilizes sensors, cameras, and intelligent algorithms to detect and monitor the blind spots on the passenger side of the vehicle . The primary purpose of a BSIS is to assist drivers in identifying and avoiding potential collisions with cyclists that may be hidden from their direct line of sight.
The regulation imposes the following requirements:
- System monitors the blind spot on the passenger side of the vehicle to prevent collisions with cyclists
- For vehicles in all N and M classes
- When operating the vehicle between 0 and 30 km/h
- BSIS informs the driver of a cyclist in the blind spot via an optical, acoustic, haptic or combined signal.

R158
Rear Visibility and Detection
Backup devices are primarily designed to assist drivers during reversing or parking situations where limited visibility can increase the risk of accidents or collisions. It enhances the driver’s awareness of their surroundings, especially in blind spots, and helps them maneuver the vehicle with greater precision and confidence. By providing visual and audible feedback about nearby objects or obstacles, Backup devices contributes to improved safety and reduces the likelihood of accidents during these maneuveres.
The regulation imposes the following requirements:
- The system monitors the rear of the vehicle to prevent collisions while reversing.
- For vehicles of classes M2, M3, N2 and N3
- Activated when selecting reverse gear
- The range is from 0.2m to 3.5m behind the vehicle, dependent on rear visibility or detection
- Detection of the same width as the vehicle
- Informs the driver of an object when reversing via an acoustic, optical or haptic signal.

R159
Moving Off Information System (MOIS)
MOIS is a system to detect and inform the driver of the presence of pedestrians and cyclists in close-proximity to the front of the vehicle and, if necessary, warn the driver of a potential collision. The information system should minimise false alarms.
The regulation imposes the following requirements:
- The system monitors the blind spot in front and prevents collisions with pedestrians or cyclists
- For vehicles of classes M2, M3, N2 and N3
- When operating the vehicle between 0 and 10 km/h
- MOIS informs the driver of a cyclist or pedestrian in the blind spot via an optical, acoustic, haptic or combined signal.
- Detection from 80 cm to 3.7 m in front of the vehicle (4.5 m in total)
- Minimum detection width should be 4.3 m
