  • Publication number: 20220413489
    Abstract: A remote operation device that remotely operates a mobile object by communication includes processing circuitry configured to acquire information on non-prime remote operation devices that are allowed to remotely operate the mobile object by the communication; detect a communication delay time in the communication with the mobile object; determine whether or not the detected communication delay time exceeds a delay time determination threshold; determine, when it is determined that the communication delay time exceeds the delay time determination threshold, a switching destination remote operation device from among the non-prime remote operation devices depending on whether or not a switching determination condition is satisfied on a basis of the acquired information on the non-prime remote operation devices; and output switching instruction information for remotely operating the mobile object to the determined switching destination remote operation device.
