What does “marshalling” mean?

 

“Marshalling” stands for the ensemble of operations when it comes to detecting and managing all the events during on-track activities.

With the exception of the main international series, such as F1® and WEC, almost all other racing activities in the motorsport industry do not currently benefit from an electronic marshalling system.

The adoption of the Genioma marshalling system, allowing the exchange of data between racing cars and Race Control, delivers a strong advantage in terms of safety.

Genioma has developed a patented highly advanced marshalling system, capable of significantly increasing the safety of the event and the participants through an effective direct communication between Race Control and cars.
Using a panel of visual messages, Race Control is able to send information about warning flags and penalties, as well as instructions to follow: either addressing all the cars or specific drivers.
The devices installed in the cars automatically and continuously record and analyse data, sending relevant information in real time to Race Control, to allow improved management of every track sessions.

Our goal is to provide all the racing series with a safe,
advanced, and affordable electronic marshalling system

How it works

A marshalling system device has to be installed in each car. It includes the electronic board and the transceiver module. Our installation plates are able of withstanding a crash impact of 30G.

A portable workstation in Race Control, with a special based-Windows software, ensures a proper data exchange to and from the cars.

Vehicle Kit

Vehicle Kit

Vehicle kits can remain installed in the cars for the entire racing season.
Guest entries can be also easily managed, as the kit is easy to install and uninstall.
This guarantees maximum flexibility for the Series Promoter.

All the data is securely transmitted by radio (wide-range digital PMR) and/or cellular networks (4G LTE/3G).

Incoming messages are decrypted by each IMD and interpreted in their content, also according to the car positioning data.

All available sensors can be read and analyzed dozens of times per second, directly onboard.
Messages such as flags can be shown to drivers through the car’s main dashboard (if properly configured) or through the Driver Display Unit developed by Genioma.

IMD brings intelligence onboard.

Race Control workstation

Race Control workstation is fully portable and does not require any permanent installation.

The system works at every circuit, and can be fully independent from the timekeeping or any other locally-installed infrastructure.
✔ Touchscreen friendly user interface
✔ Radio link module

RACE-EYE, the software built by Genioma, is the result of experience gained over many races. Artificial intelligence helps the operator in any relevant situation. Thanks to a new visual interface, sending messages to drivers and reading information from cars is very simple, allowing efficient real-time race management.

Stay ACTIVE!

We want the driver to always be aware of the marshalling system status.

An "active" display means that the system can deliver flags and messages, because a wireless connection between the car and Race Control is on.
