In the context of the present invention, the term “I-ECU” (22) means an Input device Control unit that performs task, collect and analyze data, transmit and receive processed data to the vehicle control unit.

In the context of the present invention, the term “S-ECU” (24) means a Sensor electronic unit which collects information about the environment inside and outside of the vehicle.

In the context of the present invention, the term "SOC" (25) means a system on chip - computer that is used to process data from selected sensors to create an artificial environment of the vehicle and its surroundings for the user to enhance real time experience.

In the context of the present invention, the term "ECU" (26) means a Electronic Control unit which acts as a telematic system for seamlessly transferring and receiving vehicle data to a remote computer (cloud server) (31) with low latency.

In the context of the present invention, the term "VSS" (32) means a Vehicle socket software which lets the users tether into the vehicle enabling to control and interact with the vehicle remotely and it’s monitoring system helps to governs the users and vehicle interactions.

In the context of the present invention, the term “VR” (41/42) means a virtual reality which is used an application to connect the user and vehicle interaction and its wearable device (42) runs the virtual reality application and serves as a human user interface to connect to the vehicle.

In the context of the present invention, the term “VCU” (26) means a vehicle control unit which also knows as an electronic control unit of vehicle which lets the system to control & manage the vehicle data generated from sensors, and also helps to seamlessly transferring those data to a remote computer (cloud server) (31) with low latency.

According to one embodiment of the invention, remote operated system that is comprised of a plurality of input devices (21); an Input device Control unit (I-ECU) (22); a plurality of sensors (23); a sensor electronic unit (S-ECU) (24); a system on chip (SOC) -computer (25); cloud server (31); a software-based vehicle socket (32); a virtual reality application (41); a virtual reality wearable device (42).

The components which are integrated into the vehicle remote operating system are parted in three stages are vehicle stage where real time environment factors & situation are been collected by sensors (23) and been operated by actuators (21), server stage where gathered information is been stored remotely in a cloud server (31), and finally user interface (4) stage where user remotely operated the vehicle from real time artificial environment with respect to the VR (41).

A plurality of control unit (22, 24) is been integrated into each sensor (23) and input devices (actuators) (21) for analyzing and collecting the real time environment factor & vehicle situation in a set of data format and controls physical functions of vehicle remotely as per command & user operation interface which helps to build real time artificial environment for Virtual reality application (41) by stimulate those generated data by VSS (32) & Cloud server (31).

while operating this remote vehicle system each control unit of sensors (23) & actuator (21) are been monitored or operated as per vehicle control unit (or) electronic control (26) unit which helps to transmit & receive the vehicle & user command data to remotely operate the vehicle.

After analyzing & collecting real time information of vehicle from sensors data set, the information is been processed to ECU/VCU (26) by the SOC – Computer (25) which helps to process an artificial environment of the vehicle and its surroundings from the selected sensors (23) & actuator (21).

The information generated by sensor is processed by their individual sensor control unit as per influenced by the (SOC) System of Chip – computer (25). That information are been further processed into (ECU/VCU) Eletronic/Vehicle control unit (26) of vehicle which is embedded with the telematic system which helps to seamlessly transmits and receive selected and assorted vehicle data to a remote computer (server unit) (31) with low latency.

FIG1. Illustrates a block diagram of a Transportation Vehicle Remote Operating System which highlights the integrated components in the system at different unit and shows the process flow of communication medium between user to a vehicle remotely, it also highlights data transmission & receiving flow medium between components.

After transmitting the selected and assorted vehicle data to a remote computer (server unit) (3) with low latency. The server structures and stores the received data for further processing and future uses. For enhancing the virtual experience for the users in real time, the server virtually renders a cumulative map of the artificial environment using the received data and also helps to remotely operate the vehicle information in any circumstances.

The remote computer (server unit) (3) is staged in two parts, one which structure and stores the received data, and the other acts as a connecting medium between remote operation & real time operation. These two stages are prior in the server unit (3) which helps to build an interaction between users & vehicle remotely in a real time virtual experience.

The could server (31) structures and stores the received data for the further processing using the vehicle real time database & vehicle static database followed by vehicle data management service and been processed to real-time tethering database followed by environment encryption service unit for virtually render a cumulative map of the artificial environment based on these data.

After structuring vehicle data & rendering a cumulative map of the artificial environment, the structure information is been further processed to (VSS) vehicle socket software (32) which acts an interaction medium between users & vehicle remotely, for setting up the real time interaction between vehicle and users, the VSS (32) collect the structure information form environment encryption service and vehicle data management service which further processed under vehicle verification service and followed by human vehicle communication interface service processed to encrypted communication layer for establishing interaction between users & vehicle remotely.
