Racemap Roadmap

Improved RACE RESULT import of participant data

There are many users that manage the participant information in RACE RESULT 12. Racemap provides an interface to import & sync participants with your tracking map, easily. Using the synchronization feature you just need to update only one source of participants' data. 

We now reworked this modal and added some enhancements. 

  • Showing the list of contests corresponding to the event id.
  • Select each contest separately to sync with the tracking map.
  • Showing the time of the last synchronization.
  • Parsing the raw data file and showing an overview such as the number of participants with transponder id.

Read all about the import of participants from RACE RESULT into your tracking map in our documentation https://docs.racemap.com/api-import-and-export-data/import-basics/metadata-import-via-rr.

Participants list reworked

We enhanced the list with the Participants Data in the event settings. The style is cleaner, the list loads much faster and you are able to work more efficiently. The two major improvements are 

  • The list flexibly spreads to full display size and
  • The menu shows the number of entries.

Set default filter for visualization

We added the option to preset filters for the visualization. When setting the "none" status as the default filter, the tracking map will initially hide participants with a DSQ or DNF status tag. Spectators watching the visualization can adjust the filter in the tracking map, also.

Participants import reworked

We reworked the participants section in the settings of each tracking map. Now, it is much clearer how to import respectively synchronize Participants Data with CSV files or from hosted (recommended) sources such as RACE RESULT or your own server.  

  • To better control the import you can switch on & -off the synchronization from a hosted source. 
  • The synchronization stops calling the hosted source three days after the end time of the tracking map, automatically. 
  • You can synchronize participant data from different sources with the same tracking map. 
  • You can automatically call the participant data in your tracking map from the given API endpoint, also. 
  • You can import participants from RACE RESULT without a transponder code. We removed the requirement for transponder1 field.

Dashboard for predictive live tracking

Racemap tracking platform provides a solution for live visualization of a races from sporadic reads of the timing system. We call it predictive tracking (prediction). We now published our new dashboard for the prediction showing insights and giving feedback to improve your predictive live tracking and supporting your team on the race ground. 

The dashboard is separated into four sections: 

  • Status: Checklist for data and settings which are required to conduct predictive tracking. Additionally, there is an automated check of the forwarding settings in RACE|RESULT. 
  • Readers: The locations of readers are shown on a map when we receive reads. There is a hint when readers are placed too far from the shadowtrack and its location can not be mapped. This means its reads are not considered for prediction (dropped reads). Additionally, the shadowtrack is shown as an elevation profile with the corresponding readers' locations. A reader can be mapped to several locations of the shadowtrack, automatically as a reader in laps is mapped to every lap. 
  • Transponders: Shows the last received read for each transponder. Additional information is provided: recorded- and received timestamp, location of the last read and the total number of reads for each transponder. 
  • Reads: Showing raw data Racemap receives from your timing system account.

API to query participants data

We added the option to open the */participants API in the participants section of each event. 

Using this API you can call specific parameters and integrate live tracking into your services seamlessly. That way you can identify those participants who have not yet redeemed their tracking keys and send them an email reminder with your mailing solution and provide a convenient race experience.

Read all information about */participants API in our documentation: https://docs.racemap.com/data-api/participants

Generic import from multiple files

You can now use multiple online sources to import information from participants or devices in your Racemap events. That way you work more efficiently with various groups of participants similar to contests in RACE|RESULT.

More information about the generic import: https://docs.racemap.com/api-import-and-export-data/import-basics/metadata-api

Import IMEI with RACE|RESULT simple API

Users of RACE|RESULT timekeeping software asked to import the IMEI of their GPS devices to Racemap. 

Now you can flexibly use RACE|RESULT simple API to synchronize the additional parameters 

IMEI, color, key

with participant entries in your Racemap event.  That way you match participant information with GPS trackers in your online registration directly. A more efficient work flow.

Documentation:

  • Synchronization of participants' information with RACE|RESULT: https://docs.racemap.com/api-import-and-export-data/import-basics/metadata-import-via-rr
  • Synchronize participants and additional information with any online file (generic API): https://docs.racemap.com/api-import-and-export-data/import-basics/metadata-api

Merge athletes with GPS units from tracker management

We improved to match the entries in your participant list with selected devices from your tracker management.

Import or sync the participant list of your event from your online registration for example with the generic API (https://docs.racemap.com/api-import-and-export-data/import-basics/metadata-api).

In your tracker management https://racemap.com/admin/trackers

  1. Select GPS trackers to use for live tracking
  2. Add these devices to an event
  3. Select from your event list

The GPS units are added automatically to the participants in your event. The participant list shows the device name from tracker management, also.

Corresponding to this process there is no need for CSV files to update the participant list, anymore.

Connect participants with custom app

Timekeepers, event managers, etc. like to provide Racemap live tracking in their online registrations, directly. We received feedback to simplify connecting Racemap Apps for tracking. 

To automatically connect the user's smartphone with a specific race we now pushed a feasible process guiding participants independent from

  • User's phone is iOS or Android.
  • Racemap App (or custom app) is installed or not installed.
  • Participant opens the confirmation email on its smartphone or desktop.

This solution scales for many participants providing a seamless user experience and saves support time. The process integrates the logo of the custom app and the event name.
