Deloitte has built a real-time race analysis tool for African pro-cycling’s Team Dimension Data for Qhubeka, as part of an expanded sponsorship designed to enhance the team’s performance during the Tour de France.
Deloitte has designed two apps — the Deloitte Smart Map and Race Monitor — that will gather and analyze hundreds of open-source datasets to provide feedback on things such as athlete performance, competitor tactics and course conditions.
Race Monitor can track changes within a race, such as an accident or a breakaway from the peloton. The Smart Map is a mapping visualization tool that can chart race routes and highlight course features, such as changes in elevation and hairpin turns.
