Linux - Open Source White Papers
The Penguin Road Patrol
Overview When Pavement Management Services, the Melbourne franchise of a Sydney outfit, was granted a contract by VicRoads to carry out the annual survey of the road network in September 2002, the company's owner decided that the time was right to begin doing the surveys using video technology. The owner used a video camera and an Apple Macintosh to convince VicRoads that video footage would provide pictures of sufficient resolution for VicRoads to be able to diagnose things such as ride comfort, rutting, and stone texture. What his team has ended up with is a system that uses Linux to run five video cameras from the same kind of van used as an ambulance.
