Yawl, Bicycle and Marathon Race Contestant Monitoring System

Abstract

It is cumbersome to monitor Yawl races conveniently as the boats are scattered in water for the majority of the time and are dependent on the level of wind as well. Therefore, an adjudicator is unable to perform his judgments with ease. It is not easy to manage and search contestant information easily and quickly with minimal hassle. Accurate route records of individual races are not recorded. And Marathon and Bicycle races also look like yawl races. They also have route. If race route records are captured can be helpful for contestants of Yawl, Marathon and Bicycle races. The developed system can capture routes of contestants and provide decision support to adjudicators, Manage contestant data and provide a solution for searching information, Record/track the contestants race routes individually within the system and receive accurate data via GPS technology with mobile, Allow saving race route records of all contestants, Provide a mobile application for the contestants in order to give out the ‘start’ signal, provide an opportunity for the judges to monitor boat routes, and facilitate the opportunity of graphically reviewing the race. This system was developed using C# (Microsoft visual studio) as a programming language and MVC design pattern was used with java scripting. Microsoft SQL server express for database. Android Studio was used for mobile application part.
