This paper presents a novel approach to enhancing the safety of Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) by integrating teleoperation for the remote control of ADAS features in a vehicle. The primary contribution of this research is the development and implementation of a teleoperation system that allows human operators to take control of the vehicle’s ADAS features, enabling timely intervention in critical situations where autonomous functions may be insufficient. While the concept of teleoperation has been explored in the literature, with several implementations focused on direct control of vehicles, there are relatively few examples of teleoperation systems designed specifically to utilize ADAS features. This research addresses this gap by exploring teleoperation as a supplementary mechanism that allows human intervention in critical driving situations, particularly where autonomous systems may encounter limitations. The teleoperation system was tested under two critical ADAS scenarios: cruise control and lane change assist, chosen for their importance in real-world driving conditions. These scenarios demonstrate how teleoperation can complement and enhance the performance of ADAS features. The experiments reveal the effectiveness of remote control in providing precise control, allowing for swift and accurate responses in scenarios where the autonomous system might face challenges. The novelty of this work lies in its application of teleoperation to ADAS features, offering a new perspective on how human intervention can enhance vehicle safety. The findings provide valuable insights into optimizing teleoperation for real-world driving scenarios. As a result of the experiments, it was demonstrated that integrating teleoperation with ADAS features offers a more reliable solution compared to standalone ADAS driving.
