A revolutionary project by SIM 83 and FERI

SIM 83 in FERI sodelujeta pri prelomnem projektu daljinsko vodenega vozila s 5G, ki združuje simulator in tehnologijo prihodnosti.

Combining knowledge, technology, and passion for the future of driving

At SIM 83, we are proud to be part of an exceptional collaboration with the Faculty of Electrical Engineering, Computer Science and Informatics (FERI) in Maribor. Together, we are developing an innovative prototype of a remotely controlled vehicle that will be connected to our professional driving simulator via a 5G network.

This project is not only a technical challenge, but also a vision of the future, where virtual and real driving merge into a seamless, interactive experience.

What are we developing?

As part of our collaboration, we are building a system that will enable:

  • Remote control of a physical vehicle via a 5G network
  • Connection of the vehicle to a simulator that allows the driver to monitor it in real time
  • Test the usefulness of the solution for education, research, and safety testing

This is a groundbreaking idea where theory and practice meet. FERI employees, led by Prof. Dr. DUŠAN GLEICH, Univ. Dipl. Ing. El., are participating in the development of pr

Why 5G?

The use of 5G enables extremely low latency, stable connection, and high bandwidth—conditions that are essential for remote vehicle control. This creates an environment where the driver in the simulator can respond in real time, as if they were actually behind the wheel of a vehicle located in a completely different location.

What does this project mean for the future?

This solution has a wide range of applications:

  • Education and training – simulations that spill over into real-life situations
  • Testing new technologies – safely and in a controlled environment
  • Autonomous and remotely controlled vehicles – testing in real-life environments
  • Use in industry, agriculture, rescue and defense

Thankful for cooperation.

We are very proud and grateful to be able to collaborate with one of the most advanced educational institutions in Slovenia. Such projects strengthen ties between the business and academic spheres and encourage young people to develop concrete, useful, and inspiring solutions.

The vision that drives

This collaboration is more than just a technical project. It is a vision of how technology can push boundaries, connect knowledge, and build bridges between worlds—virtual and real.
