Solution for
Tracking and timing with one chip

The RACE RESULT Active System turns tracking upside down. The tracking feature built in the RACE RESULT Active Transponders takes a new approach to tracking, offering major improvements compared to traditional tracking solutions.

• No additional device
  No need to carry a bulky GPS tracker or a smartphone, all the athletes need is the exact same timing chip that they would be wearing anyway.
• Less infrastructure
  You only need SIM cards for the Track Boxes, not for each participant. You can then easily track thousands of participants without overloading the cell network.
• More timing data
  The tracking data collected is much more precise than with any other solution. You can use it to publish an unprecedented number of splits.

Our tracking solution requires two components:

Active Pro V3 transponder: When tracking is activated, the transponder emits a trackping every second. (The Active Pro is simply a timing chip, it does not have any GPS component.)

Track Box: The Track Box collects trackpings from transponders in a radius of 50 m.
Thanks to its built-in GPS and 4G/LTE modules, it transmits its position and the position of the transponders around to the server.

Setup

Our tracking solution requires two components:

	Active Pro V3 transponder When tracking is activated, the transponder emits a trackping every second. (The Active Pro is simply a timing chip, it does not have any GPS component.)
	Track Box The Track Box collects trackpings from transponders in a radius of 50 m. Thanks to its built-in GPS and 4G/LTE modules, it transmits its position and the position of the transponders around to the server.

The data collected by the Track Box can then be used for tracking visualisation, and for timing at relevant locations.

Equipment

Track Box Active

Provide tracking and timing with the same active transponder. Track Boxes placed along the course or on race vehicles receive pings from all tracking-enabled transponders within a 50 m radius and transmit the data live online.

ActivePro V3 Transponder

The most accurate active transponder on the market. It combines a true accuracy of 0.004 s with 5 years battery life, 120 km/h max speed and the unique features "store mode" and "tracking mode". The design is 100% waterproof. No follow-up costs such as subscription or activation fees.

Ubidium

The cutting-edge timing system designed for superior performance and versatility. Boasts exceptional weatherproofing, lightweight design, and up to 32 hours battery life. Data is transmitted in real-time through multiple options, including SIM, Ethernet, POE, or USB-C connections.

What you can achieve

The RACE RESULT tracking solution was successfuly used on the Isklar Norseman Extreme Triathlon, one of the toughest endurance events on the planet.

Thanks to the Track Box, the 3-strong timing crew was able to cover 25 timing points, spread on a 200 km point-to-point course.

This video shows how the timing and tracking equipment was set up.

All round a sophisticated system

The battery life of the active transponder lasts for over 1,000 hours of tracking - that's enough for 100 Ironman events.

The magnets built in the Track Box allow you to mount it very easily on any metal sign along the course (or on moving vehicles).

You can also stack up all your Track Boxes to turn them all on or off and charge them all at once.
