Abstract (en)
[origin: FR2765371A1] The invention concerns a method for clocking competing athletes on a predetermined track, and the corresponding bib for implementing the method. The invention is characterised in that each athlete carries a normally passive electronic label (16) emitting a predetermined signature in response to an activation by an electromagnetic field. The track comprises at least a first marker arranged at the track start and a second marker at the track finish, the two markers emitting a substantially permanent an electromagnetic field and comprising a receiver for each bib (10) signature, the receiver outputs of the markers being connected to computing and memorising means determining for each label (16) at least the time elapsed between the passage perpendicular to the first and second markers. Each bib (10) carries an electronic label whereof the signature is paired with an information with visual and/or optic reading (12, 14) in response to an activation by an electromagnetic field.
