RemoteReadyMove
Advancing safe, reliable and socially accepted remote operation for automated mobility, enabling human operators to support driverless vehicles from a distance.
RemoteReadyMove advances the technical and societal readiness of remote operation for connected, cooperative and automated mobility (CCAM) services carrying both people and goods, building a framework that lets human operators step in from a distance when an automated vehicle needs support.
Automated vehicles running without an operator on board can be a game changer for public transport, enabling more services for more people over wider areas. Robust, secure and reliable remote operation is a key enabling factor in unlocking that potential
Building the Case for Remote Operation in Automated Mobility
Connected, cooperative and automated mobility (CCAM) is one of the two pillars of the Road Transport Vision 2050, alongside energy-efficient, zero-emission technologies, driving the sector’s green and digital transformation.
Achieving high levels of automation, connectivity, and AI requires more than advanced vehicles. It also depends on connected infrastructure, AI and backend systems, interactions with passengers and other road users, and the ability for a human operator to intervene remotely when an automated vehicle reaches the limits of its operational capabilities.
RemoteReadyMove addresses this final challenge. The project aims to develop, validate, and deploy a technologically robust, economically viable and societally ready framework for remote operation, positioning it as a key enabler of future CCAM systems.
Alongside technical development, the project runs a dedicated societal readiness process through four parallel phases: assessing operational and societal needs, co-designing technical and societal solutions, jointly evaluating outcomes, and producing guidelines, standards and a safety assurance framework.
This approach is rooted in Responsible Research and Innovation (RRI), recognising that public acceptance depends on integrating societal considerations from the outset.
The framework will be demonstrated across six pilot sites covering three use cases: mixed passenger and goods transport in Germany, bus services in Sweden and France, and robotaxi services in Greece and Spain.
Within the consortium, UITP leads strategic alignment and liaison activities, helping connect the project’s work on remote operation with the wider public transport sector, including through the engagement of its network of public transport operators and authorities.
