Research Abstract	This study developed the remote control system of vehicle for low speed operation based on the evaluation of the relationship between the quality of visual information and the easiness of the remote control. The results of evaluation of the influence of the visual information showed that angles of view of the camera have a significant impact on the remote control and that the remote control is influenced relatively little by the condition of frame-rates of the images or resolutions of the images which is dependent on the performance of wireless communication systems. By comparison of driving behaviors at remote control and direct driving, it was clarified that the influence of the lack of sensory information such as an acceleration, a vibration and a rotation of the vehicle is small and that the developed remote control system realizes remote control similar to direct driving.
