Abstract
An inspection vehicle for an attraction system of an amusement park includes one or more bogies configured to engage with a path of the attraction system, a sensor configured to capture imagery of the path, and a controller communicatively coupled to the sensor. The controller is configured to receive data indicative of a detected marker, determine a path section at which the inspection vehicle is located based on the detected marker, determine target imagery associated with the path section, receive captured imagery from the sensor, and output a control signal in response to determining a difference between captured imagery received from the sensor and the target imagery is equal to or greater than a threshold value.
