Abstract:
A system and method for determining and tracking a location of a participant traveling along a route wherein the participant being tracked with a radio frequency tag using a radio frequency tag reader and a timing system, the system includes a location device associated with the tag and has a location data receiver for receiving location information from a location providing source, and a wireless communication interface and time stamps each received location information, and transmits tag location data over the wireless interface, and a location detection device that is in wireless communication with the location device receives the transmitted tag location data, and transmits the received location data to the timing system, with the timing system associating the received location data with the tag number as provided by the tag reader provided tag reads of the tag associated with the location device.
