摘要

methods for dynamically assigning operators to remotely control and / or monitor movements of one or more vehicle systems and remote vehicle operator designation system a designation system and method determine time-varying risk profiles for separate vehicle systems that are remotely controlled by operators located outside vehicle systems. time-varying risk profiles represent risks to the path of vehicle systems that change over time. a demand for operator personnel for vehicle systems can be determined based on time-varying risk profiles. personnel demand represents how many operators are required to remotely control vehicle systems at different times and a qualification required from one or more operators. the system and method also designate operators to remotely monitor and / or control vehicle systems based on risk profiles and, optionally, personnel demand. the operator assigned to one or more vehicle systems changes over time while the vehicle systems are moving along the routes.
