Definitions

the present invention relates to a method for measuring the times performed by runners during sports competitions in which the competitors leave one after the other a starting point to reach a control point, after which the time taken to travel the distance between said points can be obtained.
the start and finish lines are each monitored by an informed attendant who is in telephone contact with the operator and who confirms to him if the impulse emitted must be taken into account as corresponding to an event actually forming part of the race that is being played.
These checks are made necessary by the fact that pulses which have nothing to do with the running of the race can be emitted and which can be caused for example by the passage of an animal which cuts the light barrier placed at the point of control. Therefore, it will be understood that a completely automatic data acquisition which would be content with the only operator and his machine is never absolutely secure and that it is therefore necessary to adopt the surveillance which has just been mentioned .
this second pulse will not be erased, but allocated to runner No. 2.
the split time pulse given by runner No. 2 will be assigned to runner No. 3, and so on. There will therefore be an error throughout the competition which will be postponed systematically from competitor to competitor.
the diagram in FIG. 1 shows a time axis t on which a start time td1 has been plotted. This time is recorded by the timing machine when runner No 1 leaves the gate or starting point. At this time, the machine also takes into account the identity of the runner and the place where he is. At the end of a certain period of time T m , the runner will pass to a control point by crossing a light barrier which will emit a control pulse via the machine. This control point is located at a place where you want to record an intermediate time. In downhill races, which are generally preceded by training races, the probable period T m taken by the runners to reach the control point is known in advance with sufficient precision. It can be an average established on the times observed during training races.
FIG. 1 also shows that, on either side of the probable time T m , that is to say during a period starting before and ending after said probable time T m , a window of duration T f1 is opened, the width will depend on different parameters which will be discussed below.
the window of duration T f1 is composed of a period T 1 situated before the time T m and of a period T 2 situated after the time T m .
the window T f1 is dedicated to a well-defined runner and not to another. It follows that there can be no systematic reporting of error, as was the case in a method which has been discussed above.
Figure 1 also shows that runner No 1 is followed by runner No 2 who starts at time t d2 .
the time interval between the two start times is Ti.
the diagram in FIG. 2 is the image of the course over time of a downhill ski race.
Lines a and b symbolize the training races and lines c to g the actual downhill race.
Each time graduated line is assigned a specific runner.
the window T f is centered with respect to the probable time T m .
Other choices can be made and the window can also be opened just before the time achieved by the best runner, this minimum time then being chosen as size T m .
the diagram in Figure 2 also shows that if during competition (see line g) the starting interval Ti is reduced, there will be an overlap of the window opened by the runner to whom this new interval expires with the window of the runner previous (line f). In this case, the operator or can take the risk of the possible error or can modify the duration of opening of the windows (f or g or both).
the invention is not limited to measuring an intermediate time at a single control point, but can be applied to other control points and even to the finish line of the race.
T r time T r of the fastest runner
T 1 of the slowest runner at three control points (P 1 , P 21 P 3 ) .
the results are shown in the table below:
Points P l and P 2 give the intermediate times at two race control points, while point P 3 is none other than the time recorded at the finish line.
the deviations A are less than 20 "and that, in this case, a 24" window could also be used for the automatic measurement of the finish of the race.
the diagram in Figure 3 graphically illustrates the table above.
