New SAFER partner project explores the future role of remote operation in automated transport
How can automated vehicles be supported when they encounter situations they cannot handle on their own?
This question is at the heart of RemoteReadyMove, a new Horizon Europe project that has joined SAFER’s project portfolio. The project brings together researchers, industry, transport operators and policymakers from across Europe to advance the technical and societal readiness of remote operation in connected, cooperative and automated mobility (CCAM).
Remote operation is considered a key enabler for future automated transport systems, allowing trained operators to supervise or assist vehicles when needed. Through pilot activities in several European countries, the project will investigate how these solutions can be deployed safely, efficiently and with public acceptance.
The project will develop safety assurance methods, guidelines and policy recommendations to support the large-scale deployment of automated transport services for both people and goods.
For SAFER, the project offers opportunities for knowledge exchange across disciplines, connecting research on automated driving, human factors, safety assurance and societal acceptance. The results are expected to contribute valuable insights into how future automated mobility systems can be integrated into society while maintaining high safety standards.
