Implementing Remote Driving in 5G Standalone Campus Networks

While there have been enormous advances in automated driving functions in the recent years, there are still circumstances where automated driving is not feasible or not even desired. Teleoperation is one approach to keep the vehicle mobile in such situations, with remote driving being one mode of teleoperation. In this paper we describe a 5G remote driving environment based on a 5G Standalone campus network, explaining technological and hardware choices. The paper is completed with experiences from practical trials, showing that remote driving using the proposed environment is feasible on a closed area. The achieved velocities are similar to that of a direct human driver.
