Design and Implementation of a Highly Efficient LIDAR-Based Teleoperated Driving System

Automated driving has advanced significantly, but challenges remain in scenarios like urban areas and parking garages due to technical and legal constraints. As automated vehicles rise, connected vehicle technologies gain focus. Tele-operated driving serves as a bridge technology for situations where automated driving is limited. This paper presents a novel teleoperated driving system to extend the Operational Design Domain of automated vehicles, such as in underground parking, using Direct Short Range Communication (IEEE 802.11p). The approach emphasizes efficient sensor data transmission from LIDAR, preprocessing raw data to filter point clouds and detect freespace and objects, enhancing responsiveness and reliability.
