Live Tracking & Live Results

Markopoulo, 4/10/23

After jumping and dressage, Endurance is also modernized by getting both live tracking of the athletes and live results of the competitions. At the 9th Endurance Competiton, organized at Voiotia Castle by the Avlonas Equestrian Club, the athletes, in the main classes, 25 in total, for the first time carried a GPS device. Through HEF's central pc, one could monitor in real time their route, where they were, how far they were travelling and at what speed they were traveling.

Live tracking, which is a very important tool in principle for the safety of athletes and horses, worked successfully for the first time, while it will now work in all endurance competitions, in the official categories. Everyone now has the possibility to watch in real time through the website of HEF https://live.hef.gr/  in live tracking the efforts of the athletes.

Also, in addition to live tracking, now also in Endurance, in all competitions, there will be live results, which everyone can also access at https://live.hef.gr/ .

Next step is the full automation of endruance competition with electronic tracking of start, rest and finish times, as well as other elements for serving and watching the competitions by participants with their teams and by judges/stewards and spectators, together with the instant release valid results. The system is already being tested in environment conditions of competitions and the aim is to be fully functional and reliable as an official results system within the first half of 2024.

 Επόμενο βήμα είναι η πλήρης αυτοματοποίηση των αγώνων ΙΑ με ηλεκτρονική παρακολούθηση των χρόνων εκκίνησης, ξεκούρασης και τερματισμού, καθώς και άλλων στοιχείων για την εξυπηρέτηση και παρακολούθηση του αγώνα από συμμετέχοντες με τις ομάδες τους και από κριτές/επόπτες και θεατές, μαζί με την άμεση έκδοση έγκυρων αποτελεσμάτων. Το σύστημα ήδη δοκιμάζεται σε συνθήκες περιβάλλοντος αγώνα και στόχος είναι να λειτουργεί πλήρως και αξιόπιστα ως επίσημο σύστημα αποτελεσμάτων αγώνων εντός του πρώτου εξαμήνου του 2024.
