自行車隊管理系統 領隊掌控行蹤 俗擱安全

資訊月不但要進場搶便宜，更要到主題館看看智慧生活的運用，工研院資通所研發的「單車車隊管理系統」，不僅可讓自行車隊領隊掌握隊友位置、安全，未來也可用來追蹤家中孩童、銀髮族行蹤，單顆電池可工作達十五個小時。

這套系統已供捷安特、功學社等車隊使用，以GPS每十秒回報一次座標，一天十小時計算，一個月僅需兩百元。

A New Bike Team Managing System. The Team Leader Can Track Team Members via a Cheap and Safe Device!!!!!

When you attend the IT Month exhibition, do not go to simply pick up cheap deals, remember to check out the Bike Team Managing and Tracking System, which allows team leaders to check the team members' location and safety. In the future, it can also be applied to track kids and senior residents in the house. One battery can last up to 15 hours.

This system has been used by Giant and KHS cycling teams. The system uses GPS to report a rider's location every ten seconds. The service is available for 10 hours per day and costs only NTD 200 a month.
