Processing results from virtual splits respectively geofences and location data of each participant. Leaderboard compares any activities, flexibly.
any time
everywhere
net results: difference from start timestamp, independent from if participants start
any time, like a virtual race or a permanent timing OR
at nearly the same time, like a regular event
without race track like a virtual race, participants provide activities from everywhere OR
participants move on given racecourse from start- to finish, like a regular event
Features and advantages
effortless results: with virtual splits or with checkpoints and with geolocations of participants, no timing hardware, no rfid tags
flexible results: adjust settings (add a new split, move start location, etc.) of a running event or even of a past event, refresh results with new parameters within seconds
scales to the largest events with 2,000+ participants
effortless proof of activity: athletes contribute activities using any device
LAST geolocation at location of the start within event time
detection of finish/ split
if device covers the distance of finish/ split
FIRST geolocation at location of finish/ split
target
distance (needed duration is calculated) OR duration (achieved distance)
distance = length of shadowtrack (duration is calculated)
speed filter
segments with too high speed (depending on
type of sport) not considered
-
segmentation
participants contribute multiple activities to accumulate the total activity (Monday workout + Wednesday training etc.)
no segmentation: participants provide activities from start to finish corresponding to shadowtrack
segmentation
with keys (add-on): sum up activities (Racemap App + upload) to total activity
segmentation
if total activity > target, detection of finish from the fastest segment corresponding to target
segmentation
breaks without geolocations (duration & distance between two locations) are ignored eg. stop recording activity or rest between two activities
Evaluation participant state (DSQ, DNF, DNS) if geolocations do not fit the required distance within event time. The state is displayed in the leaderboard in the "Rank" column.
state
without race track (virtual race)
athletes run on given track (shadowtrack)
DSQ: disqualified
-
first geolocation of device is more than 500 m behind location of start on shadowtrack
DNF: did not finish
does not reach target
last geolocation of device does not reach the location of finish on shadowtrack
Connect athletes from where they are and compare their activities in a leaderboard. Participants contribute their exercises at any time and from everywhere. Provide a leaderboard comparing individual workouts of every participant and a tracking map showing the current location or the progress.
Evidence of activity with geolocation data regardless of time, location, and segments
From everywhere e.g. a participant in Norway and another athlete in Germany feed their activities into the same event.
Participants provide their activities at any time within the start- & end time of the virtual race.
Participants accumulate activities, e.g. 5k on Monday and another 8k on Wednesday.

Prevent unintentional start- and finish timestamps
If participants wait before starting their race and the GPS device already sends locations close to the start split, then "start" detection can be triggered too early. To prevent unintentional reads of start and finish just move the location of the start split 100 m along the shadowtrack (100 m behind real start area). finish split: 100 m before real finish area.
Ensure 1st mapping from (virtual) start split
For detecting "start" the location of the (real) start area has to be mapped to the (virtual) start split on the shadowtrack. If the 1st location from a device is closer to lap three then this device is mapped to lap 3 and not to the start split.
shadowtrack too close to start area causes problems with mapping
