Test prediction before your event
Test predictive tracking well before your actual race through different options.
Send reads
Send reads from your timing system to RACEMAP using either test data or a live setup, e.g. decoder and transponder in your office.
Check in the reads tab of the prediction dashboard: The smaller the difference between READ AT and RECEIVED AT timestamps, the better the data for live tracking.
Positive difference: Delay in forwarding the reads from the timing system to RACEMAP. Minimize the delay for a good prediction.
Negative differences - reads appearing to come from the future: This indicates an incorrect time / date setting at your hardware or in the timing system.
Prediction recap using recorded timing data
Create a past event in RACEMAP that you've already timed, then resend the recorded timing data from the timing system to RACEMAP. For testing and training, this approach is more effective and realistic than simulations with synthetic data. If you already have a specific event in mind where you want to offer predictive tracking, we recommend using recorded real race data from that event.
Workflow:
Create an event in RACEMAP where the start and end times are in the past - trial, no activation required
Import or synchronize the participant data of that past event
Re-send the recorded timing data to RACEMAP
This allows you to visualize participants moving on the map in replay mode. At the same time, we can analyze and validate the prediction quality based on real race data. This approach requires less effort and delivers more meaningful results than testing with purely synthetic data. This ensures you are fully prepared and confident for your upcoming production event.
