Track Data Determination System and Method
First Claim
1. A track data determination system for use in connection with at least one vehicle configured to traverse a track, the system comprising:
- at least one video camera device positioned on a portion of the at least one vehicle and configured to capture video data in at least one field-of-view;
at least one geographic positioning unit associated with the at least one vehicle and configured to generate position data and time data;
at least one recording device configured to store at least one of the following;
at least a portion of the video data, at least a portion of the position data, at least a portion of the time data, or any combination thereof; and
at least one controller configured to;
(i) receive at least one of the following;
at least a portion of the video data, at least a portion of the position data, at least a portion of the time data, or any combination thereof; and
(ii) determine track data based at least in part upon at least one of the following;
at least a portion of the video data, at least a portion of the position data, at least a portion of the time data, or any combination thereof,wherein the track data comprises at least one of the following;
track centerline data, feature data, verification data, or any combination thereof.
