Teleoperated driving: Chemnitz University of Technology starts a unique study!

Chemnitz University of Technology is launching an important study on teleoperated driving. From April 22nd to May 9th, 2025, the team from the Professorship of Ergonomics and Innovation Management will investigate how different perspectives affect driving behavior in the driving simulator. The aim is to gain insights that could be useful in the further development of autonomous vehicles.

Teleoperated driving allows vehicles to be controlled remotely. This can provide valuable support in unforeseen traffic situations or in dangerous areas. The results of the study could provide decisive impetus for the integration of such systems into traffic.

Study participation and implementation

People aged 18 and over who have at least a class B driving license can take part. The test lasts around 45 to 60 minutes and takes place in the driving simulator at Chemnitz University at Erfenschlager Straße 73. Those interested have the opportunity to book their appointments online at www.mytuc.org/fsfr.

Fabienne Rödszus is available to answer any further questions. You can via the email address fabienne.roedszus@mb.tu-chemnitz.de be contacted.

The context of teleoperated driving

The introduction of autonomous vehicles brings with it numerous challenges. Teleoperated systems could be crucial, especially in dangerous or unexpected traffic situations. These technologies, so reported mybusinessfuture.com, could increase public trust in self-driving cars and increase their acceptance.

In a rapidly developing field like the automotive industry, continuous studies like the one at Chemnitz University of Technology are essential to improve the safety and efficiency of autonomous vehicles. The findings could therefore have far-reaching implications for the future of transport and help write a new chapter in mobility.

The aim of the present study is to collect specific data that shows the influence of different perspectives on driving behavior. The results could provide an important basis for future developments in the field of autonomous driving and help to further optimize the technology.

Overall, research on teleoperated vehicles is a step towards future mobility in which safety and efficiency go hand in hand.
