Development of real-time measuring system for biological information in field sports

Abstract

This research and development aims to contribute towards solving social problems through systems that collect and analyze human's highly accurate position information and data such as biological information with real time. In Japan, policies regarding supports are actively advanced towards the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games. As the initial target of this achievement, we are focusing on the sports field, and we will contribute to the development of quantitative performance of sports athletes, health promotion, and new business creation. Specifically, we developed real-time sensing devices that can be worn on the human body, reference station devices for simultaneous parallel processing of RTK processes to improve positional accuracy, and station devices for data collection. In order to offer these developed devices at low cost to the market, we studied optimal sensor combinations. In this time, we carried out software development applied to soccer and at the same time carried out accuracy verification / operation experiment for commercialization. This result can be expected to be utilized not only on sports filed but also management of construction equipment and agricultural equipment, application to UAV, management of aged wanderers, management of animals at pastures, etc.
