contemporaneously with autonomous operation of the rail vehicle, determine a set of remote operations comprising a first remote supervision task for the rail vehicle;
a teleoperation platform configured to at least partially command the rail vehicle based on inputs from a remote operator; and
a fleet management system configured to:
determine a priority queue for the set of remote operations; and
respond to the first remote supervision task based on the priority queue, comprising: triggering provision of vehicle data from the rail vehicle to the teleoperation platform.
