To secure appropriate remote operability regardless of a vehicle type in remotely operating the vehicle according to an operator's operation of a remote operation member.SOLUTION: A first operation amount is an operation amount of a remote operation member by an operator. A vehicle is operated according to a second operation amount corresponding to the first operation amount. A first maximum operation range is the maximum operation range of the remote operation member. A second maximum operation range is the maximum operation range of an operation member of the vehicle. When the first maximum operation range is smaller than the second maximum operation range, correspondence between the first operation amount and the second operation amount is adjusted so that the second operation amount becomes larger than the first operation amount. On the other hand, when the first maximum operation range is larger than the second maximum operation range, the correspondence between the first operation amount and the second operation amount is adjusted so that an operational range of the remote operation member is limited to a limited operation range smaller than the first maximum operation range or the second operation amount is smaller than the first operation amount.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 12 【課題】オペレータによる遠隔操作部材の操作に従って車両を遠隔操作する際に、車両の種類によらず適切な遠隔操作性を確保する。【解決手段】第１操作量は、オペレータによる遠隔操作部材の操作量である。第１操作量に対応する第２操作量に従って車両を操作する。第１最大操作範囲は、遠隔操作部材の最大操作範囲である。第２最大操作範囲は、車両の操作部材の最大操作範囲である。第１最大操作範囲が第２最大操作範囲よりも小さい場合、第２操作量が第１操作量よりも大きくなるように第１操作量と第２操作量との対応関係を調整する。一方、第１最大操作範囲が第２最大操作範囲よりも大きい場合、遠隔操作部材の操作可能範囲を第１最大操作範囲よりも小さい制限操作範囲に制限する、あるいは、第２操作量が第１操作量よりも小さくなるように第１操作量と第２操作量との対応関係を調整する。【選択図】図１２
