Abstract :
[en] Teleoperated driving enables remote human intervention
in autonomous vehicles, addressing challenges in complex
driving environments. However, its effectiveness depends on
ultra-low latency, high-reliability communication. This paper
evaluates teleoperated driving over a commercial non-standalone
(NSA) 5G network, analyzing key performance metrics such as
glass-to-glass (G2G) latency, RTT and steering command delay.
Using a real-world testbed with a Kia Soul EV and a remote
teleoperation platform, we assess the feasibility and limitations of
5G-enabled teleoperated driving. Our system achieved an average
G2G latency of 202ms and an RTT of 47ms highlighting the G2G
latency as the critical bottleneck. The steering control proved to
be mostly accurate and responsive. Finally, this paper provides
recommendations and outlines future work to improve future
teleoperated driving deployments for safer and more reliable
autonomous mobility.
