South African IT firm Dimension Data proclaimed
that it was
partnering with Amaury Sport Organisation, which owns the Tour de
France, to deliver big data cycling analytics platform for the
first time in the history of professional cycling. This would be accomplished through sensors installed on cyclists' seats,
with the data collected and analyzed by Dimension Data's cloud-based
platform and delivered to a website that could be customized by the
users depending on which cyclists they wanted to follow.
They are collecting sensor data, such as the cyclist's speed,
location, and position relative to other cyclists, and processing the
data through its cloud platform. 198 riders in 22 teams are generating 42,000 geospatial points and 75 million GPS readings.
In addition, the website, once it is up and running, will support 17 million viewers and 2,000 page requests per second. This would probably be the coolest domestic and sport application of IoT ever.
