Monitor

Keep track of participants. Assistance for the race office. Dashboard with clear & reliable information for safety- and coordination purposes. Live data of what matters most during the event.

Basic features of the monitor: status, alerts and interactive maps showing all coordinates

Check the monitor of the 100km-Duathlon around Dresden:

Past sample https://racemap.com/monitor/100KmDuathlon2018

• 10 seconds auto-refresh.

• Live data from GPS trackers and from tracking apps.

• Considers coordinates within the start- and end time of the event.

• Clipboard specific locations, format: 50° 56' 46.3920" N, 13° 53' 37.0680" E

The better the geodata from the applied GPS devices the more accurate the information in the monitor. Due to the more accurate data, we recommend using Pro GPS trackers when working with the monitor.

Progress overview

The progress is automatically determined for each device respectively for each participant within the start- and finish time of the tracking map.

Visualization of the progress of all devices in the monitor

Color	Status	Geolocations	On or Off
Green	Finished	Locations sent from the last point of the shadowtrack	Device switched on or off
Blue	On track	Locations sent from shadowtrack within 100 m distance	On or off
Grey	Not started	Locations sent, but no location from shadowtrack	On or off
Light grey	Inactive	No locations sent, yet	Off

For Finished-, On track- and "Not started"-status the tracking map needs a shadowtrack.

Alerts and notifications

The notifications in the alert stream are linked to the corresponding device.

Notifications are generated separately for each device in the event with the information

• Type of the alert

• Participant or device that caused the alert

• Timestamp & coordinate of the latest trigger

• Number of how often the alert was caused

Type of alert	Description	Auto-resolve	Time
Crash*	Pro GPS tracker, auto-detection	➖	8 hrs before start- & 8 hrs after end time of event
SOS*	SOS button on GPS tracker pressed	➖	8 hrs before start- & 8 hrs after end time of event
Battery*	Battery charge < 20 %, is shown one time every 24 hrs	➖	within start- & end time of event
No movement	average speed in past 5 min * < min speed of event * < 1 km/h (= 80 m) if min speed is 0 km/h	Moved distance > 80 m in past 5 min	within start- & end time of event
Away from track	Location with distance from shadowtrack > 100 m	Location with distance from shadowtrack < 100 m	within start- & end time of event
Power off	Either manual power button or device shuts down due to battery	➖	within start- & end time of event

In order not to needlessly claim the attention of the staff we filter alerts in the monitor: Within a 500 m radius around the 1st and the last point of the shadowtrack (~ close to start- and finish area) "away from track"- and "no movement"-alerts are ignored.

*Crash-, SOS- and battery alert is provided for devices with tracker management subscription.

Crash- and SOS alerts are sent as an email to all editors of the tracking map, additionally. You don't miss an important alert when not watching the monitor all the time.
