TimeTrial
T h e T i m e T r i a l s y s t e m
developed by TimeTronics
upon request of the Royal
Belgian Cycling Federation is a
user-friendly timing system
for time-trial. A specific
program provides an easy
entry and editing of races,
d i s t a n c e , d a t a a b o u t
competitors and starting
times. Obviously the daytime
at the start location (6x15cm
or 6x25cm scoreboard) must
be synchronized with the
TimeTrial system on PC.
Scoreboards:
- Attached on bridge
- Placed into different directions
- Name, ID, Place, Running time,..

Before arrival of a participant, his starting number is entered in the program which makes that his
running time and name will now appear live on the finish scoreboard and local or international TV.
When crossing the finish line, an electronic impulse is generated by a track contact that is taped on the
road, and conveyed to the computer program so that the exact finish time and average speed and
ranking of the rider are immediately calculated and displayed. The operator can activate the track
contact by means of a simple remote control switch (with push button for backup registration). In case
two or more riders cross the finish line almost simultaneously, a backup registration is taken by means
of the same arrival push button so that a few moments later, the starting numbers of the riders can be
manually linked to the corresponding recorded times in the TimeTrial program itself.
A LED scoreboard (different sizes and layouts are offered) can combine both the name of the rider and
his running or finish time and ranking. The final result of each rider can be displayed on the scoreboard
at any time. A handy means to portray the time to beat! An intermediate result or final result sheet can
always be printed. On this print-out, the finish times, the differences with the leader and average
speeds for each rider are printed in a conveniently arranged layout.
Of course all data is also logged onto hard disk and can be exported at any time (during and/or after
the event) to a .TXT file onto hard disk, so that it is available for you to be read with Microsoft Excel,
Word or any user defined program.
The TimeTrial software also provides a live data output on a PC serial line (com x port) to any
professional video graphics company to generate live TV screens.
