Recently Races2U worked with Pinnacle to build a track that looked like a race track but was not for racing. It's purpose was to demonstrate the high speed video capture and AI processing of a new camera system by Advantech. There were no humans driving the cars, but rather, when you pushed a button on the side of the track, the cars would start driving for a short period of time and then stop. While the cars were driving, 4 cameras around the track were capturing the video in a lower resolution and sending it through an AI processor that would increase the resolution in real time. To accomplish this task, we used Carrera track and analog cars. We powered each lane using independent adjustable DC power supplies. This allowed the cars to be closely matched in speed if there were differences by adjusting the voltage on one lane or the other.
