RaceAmerica Introduces TRACK MARSHAL

May 25, 2010 - PRLog -- RaceAmerica is excited to introduce Track Marshal, its new racetrack equipment control software for the modern racetrack. Combined with RaceAmerica’s intelligent Corner Safety Light and Black Flag displays, Track Marshal provides total racetrack control. The goal was to keep the software simple so operators can concentrate on keeping the racetrack safe. TrackMarshal achieves simplicity by incorporating many, easy to use, intelligent features.

The new software can run on most modern PC’s and utilizes a straightforward GUI interface that can be customized by uploading a diagram of your track.  Using the track diagram you simply drag the Corner Safety Light (CSL) images to the corresponding physical locations on the track to create a personalized virtual track/light layout.  The safety lights can be assigned to work individually or in groups with the devices activated by merely clicking on them. The CSL screen images can be size and transparency adjusted by simply moving scroll bars.  Communication commands including steady on, flashing, and entire group activation are also just a click of the screen. Black Flag displays are operated using the computer keypad combined with on-screen commands.  Brightness levels of the physical devices can be adjusted via a scroll bar for night events or other occasions where full brightness is not optimal.  

“Electronic Track Marshaling is an important step in moving racetrack technology forward while improving track worker safety,” said Dennis Laczny, President of RaceAmerica. “The combination of advanced wireless technology, intelligent display manufacturing and modern software development helped us produce an effective racetrack safety package.”
