Marathon Monitoring and Safety using Ad Hoc Networks

This paper proposes the use of modern communication technology that sports can be different, especially, in competition, which they are difficult to track (recording) because the rules of the competition and distance cause the effects of time recording errors in terms of accuracy and impartiality. The integrated vehicular ad hoc network (VANET) is recommended to accommodate such problems. The system is integrated by a 3G or 4G cellular wireless network. By using the general packet radio service (GPRS) to monitor closely to the athletes though the route and duration of competition, where the sports safety and clarity can also be monitored and realized.
