Timing

To test the timing precision, 3 different scenarios were run.

1.  3 pacers ran for 20 minutes

2.  10 pacers ran for 30 minutes 

3.  10 pacers ran for 2 miles

Timestamps were recorded on the computer and the statistical results are tabulated below.  

For 3 pacers, the results show < 5 ms lap error and < 100 ms standard deviation. For 10 pacers, the results show < 20 ms lap error and < 100 ms standard deviation.  For 10 pacers, in a 2 mile, final paced time was  within 100 ms of desired finish time. Raw Data

Our timing algorithm is designed to support multiple pacers in long sprints and distance events at centisecond lap precision; this is not intended for short sprints where millisecond precision is required.  Timing improves with less pacers, as there is less computation.
