Overview:
Vehicle telemetry and knowledge of track conditions are critical to professional race car driving, where racing teams spend millions of dollars each year and where the difference between winning and losing is often measured in fractions of a car length. Applied Sciences Group has been involved with a stock car racing team, developing custom software that will give them a competitive edge. This software deals with a combination of vehicle parametric information and track data to provide vehicle performance estimates used throughout the race. The software is written in Visual Basic.

Applied Sciences Group has proposed leveraging it's wireless expertise to provide a track-wide communications network, for the "closed circuit" broadcast of a number of track and vehicle parameters used by all racing teams throughout the race. During a race this data will also be made available to racing fans via the Internet. It is to be written in Java and C++.
