System for monitoring the position of a vehicle on a racetrack

Abstract

A racetrack monitoring system for monitoring at least one region of a racetrack to detect the position of the vehicle on the racetrack includes a sensor assembly, which when in use is fixed in position relative to the racetrack and captures data representative of the location in a three-dimensional space of objects within a field of view of the sensor assembly. The system further includes a processing means that is configured to process the captured data to identify objects corresponding to the vehicle and to generate a model of the vehicle in a model dimensional space. The processing means is configured to determine the position of the vehicle model relative to a pre-determined point or region of a racetrack that is in the field of view of the sensor assembly.
