BSI Flex 1887 is the latest standard developed as part of our Connected and Automated Mobility (CAM) Standards programme, which supports the safe deployment of self-driving vehicles. It gives practical guidance on the human factors for organizations and operators developing and managing remote operation systems for connected and automated vehicles (CAVs) where a remote operator (RO) is not on board the vehicle. It focuses on ROs, operating CAVs on roads, who can assist or take over the dynamic driving task (DDT).
BSI Flex 1887 focuses on the human factors to be considered and addressed when implementing a remote operation capability, in particular:
Key benefits of self-driving vehicles include the potential to improve safety and reduce the number of serious accidents, and significant economic growth if the technology gains widespread adoption.
To help the move towards to commercial deployment of automated vehicles, remote operators should be appropriately selected, trained, supported and provided with suitable workstations. BSI Flex 1887 provides guidance in these areas, enabling organizations to safely deploy connected and autonomous mobility systems.
The standard can help you to:
This BSI Flex is developed for organizations implementing a remote operation capability or service. It might be of use to any organization that utilizes or develops remote operation systems.
It might also be of use to road authorities, local authorities, test beds, vehicle agencies and insurers.
