Abstract
In spring 2014 the first of a new kind of running event will take place - the Wings for Life World Run. It is based on the so-called moving finish line concept where the finish line (represented by a car) gradually catches up with the participating athletes. As a result, the timing of these events has to evolve in order to meet the new requirements. However, developing and especially testing systems that rely on the interaction between different technologies, such as GPS, RFID and mobile communication, can be very costly. Therefore, this paper presents a novel method to simulate the technologies stated above in a parameterizableway. Amodular approach to simulate the technologies and emulate their output is illustrated. Furthermore, a software-based prototype capable of simulating a human driver, a car, RFID detections, GPS accuracy and mobile network reliability is presented in this paper.
