Moving Off Information System is called MOIS, it means a system to detect and inform the driver of the presence of pedestrians and cyclist in the close-proximity forward blind-spot of the vehicle.

The UN R159 regulation has come into effect on June 10. 2021, and it will be mandatory for M2, M3, N2 and N3 new models on July, 2022, and be enforced to for M2, M3, N2 and N3 new registrations on July 7, 2024. Considering the international influence of the UNECE regulation, it can be foreseen to increase more countries will adopt UN R159 as the technical standard of their the moving off monitoring system.

Low-speed moving off from rest manoeuvres that involve collisions between M2, M3, N2 and N3 vehicle category vehicles (subject vehicles) and pedestrians and cyclists have serious consequences for these vulnerable road users (VRUs). In the past, VRU safety was raised by increasing the number of mirrors to provide better visibility of the area in front of the vehicle. Since collisions with these characteristics still occur and advanced driver assistance systems have been introduced in a lot of vehicle segments, it is obvious to use such assistance systems for avoiding accidents between subject vehicles and VRUs.
