Method, computer program and apparatus for invoking a tele-operated driving session

An apparatus for invoking a tele-operated driving session for a transportation vehicle equipped with an automated driving function, the apparatus comprising:

• a first predicting module configured to predict a quality of service required for communication between the transportation vehicle and a control center for a tele-operated driving session;
• and
• a second predicting module configured to predict communication requirements for the tele-operated driving session to be performed at the predicted, quality of service required, wherein the predicted communication requirements for the tele-operated driving session are determined based on both vehicle speed and a predictive behavior of a plurality of objects determined to be in surroundings of the transportation vehicle by vehicle sensors;
• and
• a control module configured to adapt at least a maximum vehicle speed of the transportation vehicle so that the predicted communication requirements for the tele-operated driving session match the predicted quality of service required to provide tele-operated driving functionality while taking into account the predictive behavior of the plurality of objects determined to be in the surroundings of the transportation vehicle.
