Claim 8:
9. An industrial vehicle remote operation system comprising:
an industrial vehicle comprising:
a vehicle processor, and
a vehicle communication interface that performs wireless communication; and
a vehicle operation part for performing the operation of the industrial vehicle,

wherein the vehicle operation part includes at least a steering wheel and an operation lever; and
a remote operation terminal, configured to be operated by a user, comprising:
a remote processor, and
a remote communication interface that performs wireless communication with the vehicle communication interface, the remote operation terminal being configured to remotely operate the industrial vehicle; wherein

the remote processor is programmed to, based upon a remote-operation stop operation being performed on the remote operation terminal by the user in a situation where operation of the industrial vehicle is being performed through a remote operation by the remote operation terminal, perform an operation stop control for stopping the operation of the industrial vehicle, and stop the remote operation by the remote operation terminal after the operation stop control is completed, wherein
a control mode of the industrial vehicle includes:
a remote mode in which the operation of the industrial vehicle is performed not through operation of the vehicle operation part but through the remote operation by the remote operation terminal,
a manned mode in which the operation of the industrial vehicle is performed not through the remote operation by the remote operation terminal but through the operation of the vehicle operation part, and
a neutral mode in which the operation of the industrial vehicle is not performed through any of the remote operation by the remote operation terminal and the operation of the vehicle operation part,

the remote processor is programmed to:
based upon the remote-operation stop operation being performed on the remote operation terminal in a situation where the control mode is the remote mode and the operation of the industrial vehicle is being performed, perform the operation stop control and shift the control mode from the remote mode to the neutral mode after the operation stop control is completed,

the remote processor is further programmed to:
based on a fact that the remote control operation, which is a kind of operation on the remote operation terminal and has been performed on the remote operation terminal in a situation where the control mode is the remote mode, perform a control such that the operation of the industrial vehicle corresponding to the remote control operation is performed, and

preferentially perform the remote-operation stop operation over the control by a normal remote control operation when the remote-operation stop operation and the normal remote control operation have been simultaneously performed on the remote operation terminal.
