Remotely operating vehicles utilizes the benefits of vehicle automation whenfully automated driving is not yet possible. A human operator ensures safetyand availability from afar and supports the vehicle automation when itscapabilities are exceeded. The remote operator thus fulfills the legalrequirements in Germany as a Technical Supervisor to operate highly automatedvehicles at SAE 4. To integrate the remote operator into the automated drivingsystem, a novel user-centered human-machine interface (HMI) for remoteassistance workplaces was developed and initially evaluated. The insightsgained in this process were incorporated into the design of a workplaceprototype for remote assistance. This prototype was now tested in the studyreported here by 34 participants meeting the professional background criteriafor the role of Technical Supervisor according to the German law by usingtypical remote assistance scenarios created in a simulation environment. Evenunder elevated cognitive load induced by simultaneously engaging in a secondarytask, participants were able to obtain sufficient situation awareness andquickly resolve the scenarios. The HMI also yielded favorable usability andacceptance ratings. The results of the study inform the iterative workplacedevelopment and further research on the remote assistance of highly automatedvehicles.
