Evaluating the impact of increased volume of data transmission on teleoperated vehicles
Evaluating the impact of increased volume of data transmission on teleoperated vehicles
In the future, operators may be required to control and monitor multiple Teleoperated vehicles which could potentially increase usage errors, particularly in situations of high demand. The volume and type of data presented to an operator is key to ensuring accurate and successful operation. The current work examined the impact of increased sensor and automation state feedback on operator interactions with a teleoperated vehicle. Participants completed a simulation that required a teleoperated vehicle to be piloted to a specified region. The vehicle was equipped with both manual and autonomous control modes. It was found that increased sensor and automation state feedback increased the total number of manual interactions with the vehicle, as well as increased situation awareness. The presentation of sensor and automation state feedback may facilitate clearer understanding of automation and enable more precise and timely manual interactions.

Abstract
In the future, operators may be required to control and monitor multiple Teleoperated vehicles which could potentially increase usage errors, particularly in situations of high demand. The volume and type of data presented to an operator is key to ensuring accurate and successful operation. The current work examined the impact of increased sensor and automation state feedback on operator interactions with a teleoperated vehicle. Participants completed a simulation that required a teleoperated vehicle to be piloted to a specified region. The vehicle was equipped with both manual and autonomous control modes. It was found that increased sensor and automation state feedback increased the total number of manual interactions with the vehicle, as well as increased situation awareness. The presentation of sensor and automation state feedback may facilitate clearer understanding of automation and enable more precise and timely manual interactions.
