Methods, computer programs, apparatuses, vehicle and control center for resolving a deadlock traffic situation of a vehicle

A method for resolving a deadlock traffic situation in an autonomously operated transportation vehicle, the method comprising:

• detecting the deadlock traffic situation by the autonomously operated transportation vehicle;
• reporting the deadlock traffic situation to a control center;
• entering a tele-operated driving session in coordination with the control center;
• determining information identifying the deadlock traffic situation in coordination with the control center, wherein the information identifying the deadlock traffic situation uniquely identifies the deadlock situation within a time frame and geographic region so as to differentiate the identified traffic situation from other deadlock situations in proximity to the geographic region during the time frame, and wherein the autonomously operated transportation vehicle is a first transportation vehicle discovering the deadlock situation and the autonomously operated transportation vehicle sets the information identifying the deadlock traffic situation;
• forwarding the information identifying the deadlock situation to other autonomously operated transportation vehicles;
• and
• resolving the identified deadlock traffic situation using tele-operation by the control center.

A method for resolving a deadlock traffic situation in an autonomously operated transportation vehicle, the method comprising:

• receiving information identifying a deadlock traffic situation from another autonomously operated transportation vehicle, wherein the information identifying the deadlock traffic situation uniquely identifies the deadlock situation within a time frame and geographic region so as to differentiate the identified traffic situation from other deadlock situations in proximity to the geographic region during the time frame, wherein a first transportation vehicle discovering the deadlock situation sets the information identifying the deadlock traffic situation;
• verifying that the information identifying the deadlock traffic situation refers to an upcoming deadlock traffic situation;
• reporting the information identifying the deadlock traffic situation to a control center;
• and
• entering a tele-operated driving session in coordination with the control center to resolve the deadlock traffic situation in response to the deadlock traffic situation occurring.

A method for resolving a deadlock traffic situation of an autonomously operated transportation vehicle in a control center, the method comprising:

• receiving information on a deadlock traffic situation from the autonomously operated transportation vehicle;
• determining information identifying the deadlock situation, wherein the information identifying the deadlock traffic situation uniquely identifies the deadlock situation within a time frame and geographic region so as to differentiate the identified traffic situation from other deadlock situations in proximity to the geographic region during the time frame, and wherein the autonomously operated transportation vehicle is a first transportation vehicle discovering the deadlock situation and the autonomously operated transportation vehicle sets information identifying the deadlock traffic situation;
• tele-operating the autonomously operated transportation vehicle to resolve the deadlock traffic situation;
• and
• storing information on the deadlock traffic situation for later use.
