Abstract

Orienteering is an individual sport which has some interesting twists compared to other sports. Besides improvising your physical performance, it also requires your map reading and navigational skills. At the start of an orienteering event, each contestant will be given a piece of paper at the start and they are required to get a sign on it on every control station to show the attendance. However, some participants choose to cheat in order to win the competition and it requires a lot of time to obtain the official results as this kind of event were participated by many athletes. Therefore, the main concern of this project is to develop an efficient tracking system for this sport. A Radio-frequency identification (RFID) tag will be provided for each participant, which will be scanned by the Arduino (reader) at each control point, and it will automatically update to the tracking system software. When the RFID tag is scanned by the Arduino, it will produce a sound and a LED light will blink. A Wi-Fi module will be used as an antenna and by allowing the board connect to the Internet, it will update the result automatically to the computer software. Other than that, it will also collect the unique data from the RFID tag as well as their exact time for every control point (check point) and that is how the result are shown in the software. By using this system, the organizer can track each participant’s speed and obtain their time taken from one control point to another. Moreover, this project can be divided into two big parts, the first part, RFID Tag with Arduino and the second part, software that can display all the results of runners. By completing this project, this product is supporting the organization, the high efficiency of evaluation of Orienteering events.
