The purpose of this test was to validate the system’s protocol robustness on a road course.
The test was not set up to assess athletes' loss of contact or judges’ calls.
The system was evaluated using two approaches to collecting real-time athlete data:
1. Using 6 antennas and 2 repeaters placed around the 1km course
2. A single (1) antenna placed at the start-finish area.
Both methods proved effective.
The antennas functioned as expected, and the data were transmitted and received properly.
One of the repeaters suffered from interference, but this did not impact the timely collection of data (which were recorded and transmitted from the next antenna).
Data from all activated chips were collected and assessed in real-time, and all steps of the athletes wearing chips were monitored successfully.
The test demonstrates ongoing progress for the RWECS toward deployment in road competitions, extending its previously demonstrated success in track events to the monitoring of racewalking athletes.
