COMPUTER CONTROLLED RACING NETWORK

摘要

A method and system for computer controlled racing over a network (103) are disclosed. The network (103) comprises at least one vehicle (300) to be controlled and a remote user station (706). A server (102) may also be incorporated and provided with a user profile database (114) containing user profiles (116) and a user racing history (116). Users may be ranked and assigned vehicle performance profiles (116) depending upon their performance. The server (102) further includes a track marshal module (112) configured to monitor vehicle usage and may be configured to override a vehicle (300) during erratic vehicle behavior. The server (102) is also provided with a behavior module (110) that may allow the server to initialize a vehicle according to a user profile (116). The vehicle (300) is provided with a vehicle control module (108) configured to communicate with the server (102) over a wireless or wired network (103) using network switched packets containing vehicle control data (200).
