Analysis of the effectiveness of RFID Systems in triathlon

Abstract

: Accuracy is paramount in sports competitions. Between competitions around the world, tenths of a second or a hundred seconds can be decisive when comparing individuals and race results. The measurement of time results is now done by machines and devices, almost automatically. One of the most widespread and accurate time measurements is made with the help of chips and tags. The study deals with the RFID (Radio Frequency Identification System) devices used for measurement in Hungary. It examines and compares these systems according to different aspects. Based on the results, it provides support to the organizer based on weather conditions, either economic constraints or the number of participants, which system is more advantageous to use. The findings in the study can be used by competition organizers and it may be easier to choose the system required for the competition. The limits of the organization of the competition can be determined more easily.
