Active Live GPS/GPRS Tracking/Timing/Results Solution

Full Rally&Baja Service Pack is the most comprehensive solution for a safe, modern and cost effective management of offroad motorsport events.

Live GPS Tracking technology provides, beside competitor's positions and alarms, also totally reliable and accurate Timing. By adding a revolutionary timekeeping hardware on the field, based on GPRS, GPS, Laser and radio technology, plus independent TC handhelds with TAG readers, timing data are collected automatically in the HQ software. By crosschecking data coming both from vehicles and timing hardware, plus an additional virtual GPS timing verification, the result program can release realtime, totally reliable results, according to FIA and FIM requirements. Avoiding most of common human communication errors and annoying papers.

Few people manage the entire web-based system. The easy-to-use equipments at start, finish and TC points do not require professionals on site. Size and weight of hardware is limited to few suitcases.

Modularity

The Sporttraxx solution is fully expandable. Through a special wiring set, each additional hardware option as Satellite coverage extension, Voice, Yellow flag ,flasher/buzzer and Timing sensors, becomes a plug-in, which is easily connected to the Electric Interface in the vehicle. According to each event, its budget, its location, the regulations, the plug-ins can be added or removed. Starting from basic passive tracking to full live tracking/timing/results service.
