OUR TECHNOLOGY

Our Technology

GPS Formula is built on a set of advanced proprietary algorithms developed by a multidisciplinary team of mathematicians and sports experts, and validated through extensive testing during real sporting events.

Unlike traditional GPS systems that rely solely on raw quantitative data, our technology combines standard performance metrics with qualitative performance analysis, allowing us to evaluate not just how fast or how far an athlete went — but how demanding and effective the performance truly was.

From raw data to meaningful performance

GPS Formula analyzes classic GPS parameters such as:

• Track length

• Time and average speed

• Elevation profile

• Maximum and segment-based speed

These are then enhanced by proprietary calculations that introduce a difficulty coefficient, enabling us to distinguish performances that may appear similar on paper but differ significantly in technical and environmental complexity.

Advanced performance metrics

Our solution enables precise measurement of advanced parameters, including:

• Effective track width, calculated as the total covered area

• Actual external perimeter, excluding overlapping or retraced sections

• Extreme track points, measuring maximum distance from the starting area

• Segment-based speed analysis, prioritizing the best completed segment rather than error-prone peak values

Maneuver and environmental analysis

For disciplines influenced by environmental factors, GPS Formula automatically detects:

• Wind direction expressed in degrees

• Type of maneuver performed (tack or jibe)

• Speed during the maneuver

• Velocity Made Good (VMG), relating speed to the athlete’s angle relative to the wind

• Input and output speed and angles, highlighting efficiency gaps during maneuvers

One score, global competition

All these parameters are synthesized into a single GPS Formula Score, allowing athletes to compare performances in absolute terms, regardless of location, conditions, or session timing.

This creates a new race format where athletes can compete globally using the same evaluation criteria — turning every session into a fair and meaningful competition.
