ZDNet Australia
reports
on a different Linux-based crash analysis application: video data
collection in race cars. "
For a trial run at Oran Park on the
weekend, Opia Vision fitted each car with a camera linking back to a
customised computer using Red Hat Linux. The computers measure 285 x 200 x
85 mm and use SOM (system on module) motherboards, essentially a full
computer on a four-inch square board."
