METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR TRACKING RACE PARTICIPANTS

摘要

Embodiments of the invention provide a method and system that allows for GNSS tracking of race participants in a race. Wireless enabled GNSS receivers monitor the position of race participants during a race and transmit position back to a central aggregating unit using a TDMA radio frame structure. The central aggregating unit provides the position data as a repeated data feed during the race to a mapping device that converts the 2D position data to one dimensional race data, showing position of race participants along the race course from start to finish. This one dimensional data may be directly output to end users, and/or used to calculate various "in-game" probabilities of outcomes of the race. The probabilities may then be output to end user, for example for betting or other gaming purposes.
