Cycling

Scope and method of calculating time

A lap event consists of a start point, a split point (or lap), and a finish point. Laps can be timed as drivers pass at the same time, and the results can provide rankings based on laps and times. The bike can reach a speed of 60km/h at the finish line.

However, with recent advances in UHF technology, the Ultra system is now perfectly suitable for time trial triathlons.

Cycling is best timed using only the side antenna although mats can also be used, especially for the start line in very large events.

Setup plan

Cycling events such as these can be easily timed using the Ultra. Because the side antennas can read from a long distance on the road, the maximum number needed is 4 antennas and in most cases 2 antennas are sufficient. This means the Ultra4 will easily handle timing points up to 8m wide with antennas on each side of the road. Mountain bike races are also a great fit for the Ultra, and automated results in 12- and 24-hour races enhance the rider experience while reducing the workload for the timing team. Combined with low-cost disposable tags worn on the seat post or front license plate, readability is exceptional and accuracy is close to 0.1 second.

A great setup for high-resolution finishing is to combine the Ultra4 system with a low-cost photo finishing application like SprintTimer. The end can be easily determined as close as 0.01 second.
