RFID Timing Services and Race Management

Fleet Feet Sports

Fleet Feet Sports utilizes Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology from DAG-System part of the French Company Pygmalyon. The advantage of RFID Timing is its extreme accuracy and ease of use. The DAG-System RFID Chip is attached to the participant’s bib#. The chip is disposable but recycled for a greener race. With the system from DAG, each participant is scored as they pass throught the finish line and scanned again as they exit the finish chute to achieve a 100% backup detection rate for each finisher. At the finish line, there are no mats to cross, the racers simply run through a overhead gate and proceed out of the finish line corral.

The DAG Chips are passive RFID devices that generate their power to transmit an identification signal when the chip passes through the electromagnetic field which is generated by the antenna gate. The DAG Chip does not contain an internal battery or power source. The DAG Chip does have a wire loop connected to each side of the chip. This wire and chip assembly is attached to the back side of the bib. As the chip moves through the electromagnetic field, a small current is induced within the wire and this small electrical pulse activates and energizes the chip. The chip then transmits a unique identification signal to the reader. The reader stores this unique identification code and the exact time received in a data base file.
