Remote Control (RC) is about the design of teleoperation procedures to extend the ODD, remotely managing vehicle operation. The human factors aspects of teleoperators can include how supervision is affected by distraction, fatigue and different mental models of system capability. This question addresses specifically the design of a proper workplace and HMI, to assure the right performances of the operator’s tasks (Kaber et al., 2000).
Main Question
Is an appropriate HMI designed for the operators?
Sub-Questions
- Is the information about operator’s status and performances considered, to help her/his tasks and performances?
- Does the workplace fulfill the operator’s needs? Is it appropriate to remotely control the AVs safely?
- Are operator’s needs taken into account to design properly the HMI workplace?
- Is sensor information used to provide additional visualization beyond the mere video stream from the AV for remotely operating AVs?
- Is an environment model (digital twin) used to support the visualized sensor information in case of network/bandwidth issues of video stream from the AV?
