Abstract
A method for a remote driving of a mobile vehicle having wheels is provided. The method comprises the steps of: accepting a start request for the remote driving; acquiring information on a target steering angle of the wheels generated in a remote driving device and information on an actual steering angle of the wheels; and permitting a start of the remote driving including a remote steering of the wheels based on the target steering angle when the start request is accepted and the target steering angle and the actual steering angle match.
Claims17
A method for performing remote driving of a mobile vehicle having wheels, the method comprising the steps of:
- accepting a start request for the remote driving;
- acquiring information on a target steering angle of the wheels generated in a remote driving device and information on an actual steering angle of the wheels;
- before permitting a start of the remote driving after accepting the start request, determining a difference between the target steering angle and the actual steering angle;
- and
- based upon the determination that the difference between the target steering angle and the actual steering angle is less than a threshold, permitting the start of the remote driving including a remote steering of the wheels based on the target steering angle.
A device for performing remote driving of a mobile vehicle having wheels, the device comprising a processor,
- wherein the processor is configured to execute processing to:
- accept a start request for the remote driving;
- acquire information on a target steering angle of the wheels generated in the remote driving device and information on an actual steering angle of the wheels;
- before permitting a start of the remote driving after accepting the start request, determine a difference between the target steering angle and the actual steering angle;
- and
- based upon the determination that the difference between the target steering angle and the actual steering angle is less than a threshold, permit the start of the remote driving including a remote steering of the wheels based on the target steering angle.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing a program for performing a remote driving of a mobile vehicle having wheels, the program causes a computer to execute processing to:
- accept a start request for the remote driving;
- acquire information on a target steering angle of the wheels generated in a demote driving device and information on an actual steering angle of the wheels;
- before permitting a start of the remote driving after accepting the start request, determine a difference between the target steering angle and the actual steering angle;
- and
- based upon the determination that the difference between the target steering angle and the actual steering angle is less than a threshold, permit the start of the remote driving including a remote steering of the wheels based on the target steering angle.
