SkiTraces

SkiTraces is a website and mobile app for iPhone and Android used for tracking and locating skiers within the skiing resorts. The skiTraces friends’ module allows skiers, their families and friends to find each other at any time. Location information is provided by reverse geocoding module which converts point location (latitude, longitude) to readable information such a ski run name, lift name of sky resort facilities.
SkiTraces alarms module can send automatic alarms to a set of specified mobiles if the skier does not move during a specified period of time. In addition, skiTraces generates statistics and a record of the user’s activity. For example, the height and speed profile to other complex data or a comparison of the different descent times of the same track.
Currently, skiTraces specific maps and services cover Europe and North America. The system uses OpenStreetMap skiing geographical information which has the map of most of the skiing resorts worldwide.
