Abstract

Système de localisation pour voitures de course, doté d'un dispositif d'informations qui est placé dans une voiture de course et qui comporte un dispositif de localisation destiné à recueillir et à produire des données de localisation grâce auxquelles la position de la voiture de course peut être déterminée, et un émetteur qui transmet les données de localisation à une centrale. Pour que ledit système soit avantageusement conçu en tant que système de localisation, une pluralité de ces dispositifs d'informations placés dans les voitures fonctionne en combinaison avec un dispositif informatique qui calcule la position des différentes voitures de course sur un circuit sur la base des données de localisation transmises et à l'aide des données de circuit se trouvant en mémoire. La représentation virtuelle du tracé du circuit sous forme de données de circuit permet la détermination des positions des voitures à l'aide des données de localisation transmises, sans qu'il soit nécessaire d'installer des dispositifs de détermination de position à tous les points essentiels du circuit. Il est également possible, sans difficultés supplémentaires, de déterminer et de localiser avec exactitude une voiture qui a quitté le circuit ou qui est à l'arrêt.
