1. An apparatus for a transportation vehicle, the apparatus comprising:
one or more interfaces to communicate in a mobile communication system; and
a control module configured to control the one or more interfaces, wherein the control module is further configured to determine a route section by:
operating the transportation vehicle in an automated driving mode during which occurrence of an unexpected traffic situation is determined as a non-traditional vehicle impediment that differs from an expectation according to routing or map information available in the transportation vehicle necessitating at least partial discontinuation of the automated driving mode;
transmitting information related to the unexpected traffic situation to a network component via a mobile communication system, including transmitting video data with a first higher data rate responsive to operation in a first period of fully remote tele-operating along the route section to overcome the unexpected traffic situation;
receiving, from the network component, information related to driving instructions for the route section to overcome the unexpected traffic situation, wherein the receiving of the driving instructions comprises remotely tele-operating the transportation vehicle along the route section to overcome the unexpected traffic situation; and
transmitting video data with a second lower data rate responsive to operation in a second period of partially remote tele-operating including combined remote tele-operation and automated driving.
