Abstract
The activities related to the development of automated road vehicles have been ever-increasing during the past few years. Automated Driving (AD) may bring positive societal effects in terms of reduced environmental impact, improved traffic safety, and more efficient mobility systems. Despite the rapid progress in this field, there are still many challenges to be solved before high level driving automation (SAE’s Levels 4-5) can be realized. Some of the most difficult challenges are related to the handling of scenarios that the AD system is unprepared for. Such scenarios could be approaching construction sites, public events, or traffic accidents. Other difficult AD-related challenges include e.g. sensor or system failure or when the vehicle approaches the limits of its Operational Design Domain (ODD) - e.g. conditions or situations that the AD system is not designed to handle. It has been proposed that remote operation enabling a human remote operator to support a connected and automated vehicle from a distance when unexpected events or failures occur could be a way to overcome these challenges. Furthermore, this type of technology could also allow a remote operator to act as a safety driver during the testing phases of AD vehicles that are not equipped with regular driver controls. Hence, remote operation has the potential to overcome some of the challenges that currently are slowing down the commercialization of automated vehicles.
