Abstract
Embodiments of the invention relate to a method for controlling a fleet of at least two autonomous/remotely operated vehicles, wherein an embodiment of the method comprises: assigning to each of said at least two vehicles a predetermined route comprising a road segment which requires that a teleoperator of a remote operation station assists and/or drives the vehicle, determining a time overlap of the said road segments, and based on the determined time overlap, inserting a delay or a speedup in a preceding autonomous drive road segment of the predetermined route of at least one of said at least two autonomous/remotely operated vehicles so that said road segments no longer overlap in time.
