Abstract

It is very critical for solar racers to achieve real time tracking of their solar vehicle during any race. The system is made of real time visualisation of the video feedback of the car from the escort vehicle, the location of the car on the maps as it is racing and its velocity. The real time video feedback of the race could be retrieved from the cloud for broadcasting purposes. The main advantage of this system is the wireless link communication which was achieved for distance transmission, coupled to a very reliable and robust desktop application for data sensor display purposes.
