System Overview
The Traqmate is a vehicle data acquisition device that uses a high-speed GPS receiver and high-
resolution accelerometers to track and record the speed of a vehicle, its absolute location, and
forces acting on the vehicle.
The Track Systems Traqview analysis program uses advanced mathematic algorithms to
translate this data into visual form where it is easy to spot differences between drivers, vehicles,
and sessions.
Traqmate Features
Drop and Go – Stick a Traqmate in your car, turn it on, and collect data all day long. No sensors
required.
Replay Your Day – Upload the data into Traqview. See your car on the track and your
performance on the virtual dashboard.
Instant Gratification – See your lap times as they happen on the in-car display.
Share and Compare – Create virtual races with friends or with yourself from different sessions.
Trade laps with your friends. Learn from them.
Easy to Use – No engineering degree required. The Traqmate Sensor Unit has one button. What
could be easier? The Traqmate Display Unit is menu-driven with prompts in English. Just pick
what you want – no typing, no memorizing buttons.
Analyze – Zoom in on your lap. Single step to see G loads and speed. Compare braking and
acceleration points between cars and drivers. Graph data vs. time and distance.
Share Your Toys – Loan your Traqmate to a friend or loan your car to a faster driver. Then
compare their laps against your own. Even two drivers with equal laptimes can both learn from
each other.
Rugged – Traqmate was designed to withstand the tough environment of a race car to give you
years of service.
