This call aims to explore the operational and societal conditions necessary to complement the Operational Design Domain (ODD) of Connected, Cooperative, and Automated Mobility (CCAM) solutions through remote operations. Remote operations involve the external monitoring, assisting, and controlling of automated driving systems by a human operator. Projects should develop comprehensive principles, guidelines, and requirements addressing operational complexities such as safety, cybersecurity, liability, privacy, certification, operator training, interoperability, and cross-border operations. The objective is to establish a standardized approach to extend the ODD of CCAM solutions. Proposals should identify infrastructure prerequisites critical for implementing remote operation capabilities, outline technical standards, and consider environmental impacts. Safety validation methodologies should be extended to remote operations to build trust among road users. Economic feasibility studies for at least two business cases should analyze costs, benefits, market potential, and scalability, providing clear value propositions for stakeholders. Understanding human factors, legal requirements, and working conditions for remote operators is crucial, addressing aspects like cognitive load, fatigue, stress, and essential skills. Projects should also develop policy and governance recommendations to establish or update legislation covering remote operations.
