Abstract

A remote system for an autonomous vehicle, includes a receiver, a controller, and a display device. The receiver is configured to receive road information. The controller is programmed to receive input related to the road information and create a supervision zone when the road information impacts road drivability. The display device is disposed at a control center area and configured to display a visual indication on a map of the supervision zone.

First claim

1 . A remote system for an autonomous vehicle, comprising:
a non-moveable receiver remote from the autonomous vehicle and configured to receive road information; a controller programmed to receive input related to the road information and create a supervision zone when the road information impacts road drivability; and a display device disposed at a control center area and configured to display a visual indication on a map of the supervision zone.

2 . The remote system of claim 1 , wherein
the input is received by the controller directly from the receiver and the controller is programmed to determine whether the road information impacts road drivability.

3 . The remote system of claim 1 , wherein
the input is received by the controller from a user input.

4 . The remote system of claim 1 , wherein
the controller is programmed to remove the visual indication of the supervision zone after a predetermined amount of time.

5 . The remote system of claim 1 , wherein
the controller is programmed to receive user input to remove the visual indication of the supervision zone.

6 . The remote system of claim 1 , wherein
the receiver is configured to receive an emergency vehicle signal, and the controller is programmed to determine that the emergency vehicle signal is road information that impacts road drivability.

7 . The remote system of claim 1 , wherein
the controller is programmed to receive input data enabling a route to be created to avoid the supervision zone.

8 . The remote system of claim 7 , further comprising
a transmitter configured to transmit the route to avoid the supervision zone to a vehicle.

9 . The remote system of claim 7 , further comprising
a storage device configured to store the route to avoid the supervision zone.

10 . The remote system of claim 7 , wherein
the controller is programmed to cause the display device to display the route to avoid the supervision zone on the map.

11 . The system of claim 1 , wherein
the controller is programmed to receive information related to the supervision zone and cause the display device to display the information related to the supervision zone.

12 . The system of claim 1 , wherein
the receiver is configured to receive vehicle information, and the controller is programmed to determine that the vehicle information is road information that impacts road drivability.

13 . The system of claim 1 , wherein
the receiver is configured to receive an image transmitted by a vehicle camera, and the display device is configured to display the image.
