Systems and methods for remote driving of vehicles

A system for remote driving of a vehicle, wherein the system comprises:

• a plurality of sensors arranged in an operational area in which the vehicle is present;
• an operator unit;
• and
• a control unit communicably coupled to the plurality of sensors, the operator unit, and the vehicle, via a communication network, wherein the control unit is configured to:
• process tracking data, collected by the plurality of sensors, to create a digital twin of the operational area;
• receive, from the operator unit, information pertaining to an initial position and a target position of the vehicle;
• determine routing information of the vehicle, based on the digital twin of the operational area and the information pertaining to the initial position and the target position of the vehicle;
• send the routing information of the vehicle and the digital twin of the operational area to the operator unit;
• navigate the vehicle based on at least one command received from the operator unit;
• determine a safety zone for the vehicle, based on at least one vehicle parameter, wherein the safety zone surrounds the vehicle;
• obtain, for a given time period, information pertaining to a network latency in the communication network from a network traffic regulator of the communication network;
• detect when a change in the network latency for the given time period exceeds a predetermined threshold latency;
• when it is detected that a change in the network latency for the given time period exceeds a predetermined threshold latency, increase a size of the safety zone, based on the change in the network latency;
• detect when a position of an object present in the operational area lies within the safety zone;
• and
• when it is detected that a position of an object present in the operational area lies within the safety zone, decrease a speed of the vehicle to prevent a collision between the vehicle and the object.
