LEVELS OF AUTONOMY
Current technology is already sufficiently developed to operate automated vehicles efficiently, safely, and cost-effectively without a driver present in the vehicle. Vehicles are monitored from a remote operation center. Remoted's core expertise includes identifying and evaluating suitable use cases and procuring vehicles that meet these needs from the company's global network of technology suppliers.
The capability of autonomous robot bus operation is based on the SAE J33016 standard developed by SAE International (Society of Automotive Engineers). This standard defines different levels of automated driving, which describe the extent and requirements of a vehicle's automated driving capabilities.
In our service, driving is always integrated into our remote control centre from which our remote operator monitors and, if necessary, steers the vehicle. Our service includes the determination of the level of autonomy for each service area.
In particular, the differences between levels 3, 4 and 5 in automation capabilities and the driver's role are significant from the perspective of automated driving.
At Level 3 (Conditional Automation), the vehicle can perform all driving tasks under certain conditions, but the driver must be constantly ready to take over driving responsibility when requested by the system; the human therefore acts as the system's primary backup system ("fallback").
At Level 4 (High Automation), the vehicle is capable of operating fully autonomously within a predefined Operational Design Domain (ODD), including monitoring the environment, managing problem situations, and bringing the vehicle to a safe state without driver intervention within that ODD. The driver does not need to monitor the system within the ODD, but the vehicle's operations are limited to this domain.
Level 5 (Full Automation) represents the highest level of automation, where the vehicle is capable of operating completely autonomously in all conditions and environments where a human driver could drive, without any ODD restrictions, responsible for all driving tasks without the need for human intervention at any point.
Currently, the majority of technology suppliers are aiming for level 4 automation, and it is not expected that level 5 automated driving systems will come to market in the coming years.
“Our goal is to develop
city traffic in a more diverse direction
and free up space from cars for people.”
