The most recent style of mountain

biking is a mixture of arduous uphill,

downhill and cross country sections.

These timed sections (stages) are

linked by less strenuous intermediate

sections. The winner of the race is the

one with the lowest accumulated time.

Using AIR+

Based on the Active Card the system

AIR+ supports the special requirements

of MTB Enduro. The contactless time

keeping allows a quick tracking and

evaluation of the race. To stop at the

beginning or the end of a stage is not

required.

SPORTident AIR+ additionally enables

time keeping and identification by

passing SPORTident stations config-

ured in a gate made. Gate mode con-

figuration features higher time accuracy

of up to 1/10 seconds. This configura-

tion is recommended to be used espe-

cially for START and FINISH.

Preparation

Each rider has to be equipped with a

SPORTident Active Card (SIAC) for

contactless timekeeping. With a spe-

cific bike holder this card will be mount-

ed at the bike (frame, handlebar or

headset).

Before starting the SIAC has to be

switched on. A successful time keeping

will not be possible if the SIAC is not

activated. The activation of the SIAC is

shown by a flashing green LED.

SI-stations in the AIR+-Configuration

have to be charged before application.

SPORTident AIR+ is a real time system.

SI-stations should be synchronised by

using a master clock shortly before

application.

Mad East Challenge e.V.


To illustrate the application of the AIR+

configuration to the competitors it is

recommended to set up a test course

with some control points in the event

centre. There, the athletes can test and

monitor the feedback signals of the

SIAC at different passing speeds.

Event execution

SIAC supports fast registration of

competitors to participate at a race.

The standard SPORTident procedure

C L E A R – C H E C K – S TA RT –

CONTROL(S) – FINISH remains when

SPORTident AIR+ is used.

During the race the SIAC stores the start

and finish times of the stages. The

successful registration of the check-

points is indicated by an obvious optical

and acoustic feedback signal.

The deactivation of the SIAC is done

with registering the finish time. Without

a finish record the device deactivates

itself 20 hours after having received last

record.

Evaluation of the results

After the finish, race data stored in

competitors SIAC have be read onto a

computer for event evaluation. SIAC

readout is possible at any time and not

depending on SIAC's activation. Op-

tionally, the data can be read out and

transmitted by radio. Therefore to

enable this, the checkpoints and the

finish line can be equipped with a GSM

modem. This allows to show the results

data in real time and to present them on

different media.


Advantages for the organisers

Easy and rapid installation even in areas where access is difficult, less personnel expenses due to fewer course marshals required.

The riders bring the data to the finish line. It is not necessary to read out the data in the field.

Many possibilities of evaluating and showing the data (e.g. live results at the course, Internet).

The stations will work without an external power source (recharge-able battery is integrated).

The SIAC is compatible to the whole SPORTident system and can be used in any combination with our traditional equipment.
