A remote operation system provides support to utility vehicles (such as forklifts). The remote operation system controls a forklift to safely perform an emergency stop when the remote operation system determines that safe operation of the forklift is difficult. To perform an emergency stop of a forklift, the system monitors the kinematics of the forklift based at least in part on the mass distribution of a load being carried by the forklift and an elevation of the fork of the forklift. Moreover, in response to determining to execute an emergency stop, the system determines a deceleration limit for the forklift based on the kinematics of the forklift, and activates the brakes of the forklift based on the determined deceleration limit.
