Tracking Bicycle Races With GPS
Under a somewhat confusing title (“Bike Racers Gear Up With Geodata”???), Wired describes the effort of the Amgen Tour of California bike tour organizers to make the event “watchable” on the web, with help from the Computer Sciences Corporation (CSC).
“This is more than just GPS,” says CSC’s Identity Labs chief technologist Dan Munyan. “This is object field tracking. We want to be able to focus on a field of objects in motion, looking not only at where they are on the route, but also where they are relative to each other.
Some time ago I wrote in Location Intelligence about a similar effort in sailboat racing.
