Semi-automated driving has been the subject of scientific research and development for some time now. However, despite artificial intelligence, an increasing database and new algorithms, fully autonomous driving is still a long way off for some driving situations. One possible solution for borderline cases is the introduction of teleoperation. This will allow vehicles to be monitored remotely and, if necessary, control can be taken over in real time. This combines existing research on control rooms and monitoring tasks with the dynamic and complex situations of everyday driving. IFAB would like to focus on remote operators in this field. The aim is to investigate what situational awareness and mental stress look like, which conditions can influence this and which cognitive requirements should be met by an operator. In addition to questionnaires, objective measurement methods will also be used. The results can then be used to develop and evaluate selection criteria and training for remote operators.
