Systems and methods for selecting a teleoperation control center for a teleoperated driving session
Systems, methods, and other embodiments described herein relate to selecting a teleoperation control center for a requested teleoperation driving session based on characteristics of the requested teleoperated driving session and a type of control for the session. In one embodiment, a method includes identifying 1) a type of control for a requested teleoperated driving session and 2) a computational parameter for the requested teleoperated driving session based on a session characteristic for the requested teleoperated driving session and the type of control. The method also includes identifying control capabilities of different teleoperation control centers. The method also includes transmitting control of a requesting vehicle to a target teleoperation control center of the different teleoperation control centers based on 1) the computational parameter, 2) the type of control, and 3) the control capabilities of the different teleoperation control centers.
Remote assistance device and method for remotely assisting driving of autonomous driving vehicles
A remote assistance device for remotely assisting autonomous driving of an autonomous driving vehicle, includes a control unit configured to, when there is no available operator or when it is predicted that there will be no available operator that provides remote assistance to the autonomous driving vehicle, control driving of the autonomous driving vehicle so as to prevent occurrence of a shortage of operators at an assistance point where the autonomous driving vehicle receives remote assistance.
