Abstract
Systems (100) and methods (700) for increasing a predictability of Telematic Operations (“TOs”) of a Teleoperation System (“TS”). The methods involve: measuring an inherent latency of a Communications Link (“CL”) of TS which varies unpredictably over at least a first window of time; analyzing the inherent latency, which was previously measured, to determine a first reference value useful for increasing the predictability of the TOs; using the first reference value to select an amount of controlled latency to be added to CL (120) at each of a plurality of time points (502-518); and adding the amount of controlled latency to CL at each of the plurality of time points so as to increase the predictability of the TOs. In some scenarios, the amount of controlled latency added at a first time point is different than the amount of controlled latency added at a second time point.
