【 摘 要 】

Timekeeping is essential for all racing event. It includes marathon, running, car n motorcycle racing. Most of the professional racing events are fully sponsored and have their own sophisticated timing device. It is easy for the big events to have a good timing device. And most timing devices out there is expensive to be own for small events. In motor racing, every time the time is taken, it will always show the time difference between the riders. And all of this will be broadcasted into a big screen. Everyone will know where they will be placed and what is their fastest lap time. This will be a great opportunity to develop a timing device that is cost efficient and easy to be used. The Timing Device will be developed using several microcontrollers which includes Arduino and Raspberry Pi as well as other electronic components. The main idea is to use Infrared beaming and signal processing from the infrared beaming to be used in the timing device. The Webserver will then broadcast the timing result to be shown to the users and viewers. Overall, the goal for this timekeeping device is to develop a low cost timing device that can be used in different sets of racing event.
