Abstract

Research has not found its way yet to the track cycling madison discipline. Currently, training files are collected from cycling computers, after which the data is interpreted in a mainly subjective manner, based on the domain knowledge of a coach. The goal of this paper is twofold. Starting with the automated detection of madison handslings from cadence, acceleration and gyroscope data, all other data corresponding to a single handsling can easily be obtained. The second goal concerns the calculation of statistics on rider performances during a handsling. We present two madison handsling performance assessment use cases. The first use case exposes imbalances within a madison rider pair, whereas the second use case employs power data to monitor the effort a single rider puts into the handsling.
