Abstract
This paper proposes four distinct roles of a remote operator in supporting future SAE Level 4 and 5 autonomous vehicles (AVs). These are Remote Monitoring, Remote Assistance, Remote Management and Remote Driving. A set of scenarios were created based on academic literature and industry reports to represent an extensive range of interactions which might occur between Remote Operators, AVs and other human agents. Operator sequence diagrams were created to represent the task in each scenario and analysed to identify the involvement of the different Remote Operator roles. This is used to draw conclusions on aspects of work for future Remote Operators and as a starting point for further investigation into information requirements and workstation design.
