Sistema eletrônico de posição e rastreamento local utilizando bluetooth low energy: um estudo aplicado ao futebol

Abstract

Since the beginning of humanity, we sports enthusiasts have been analyzing the development of athletes in their sports activities. In football, the use of Electronic Performance and Tracking Systems (EPTS) was approved by the F´ed´eration Internationale de Football Association (FIFA) in 2015. Subsequently, FIFA has been developing regulations regarding the use of EPTS in football, standardizing technologies and procedures (BOARD, 2021), which has also been happening in other sports. This study conducted a systematic literature review on the available EPTS technologies and their types. Furthermore, as a research objective, a prototype was developed using Bluetooth Low Energy, embedded in an ESP32 board, and employing noise removal using Kalman filters. Finally, performance tests of the prototype were carried out to evaluate the accuracy of the collected data, its battery life, and a comparison was made between the results obtained in the prototype tests and other systems available in the market. In the comparison, factors such as size, weight, and prices were also considered among the different systems used in the evaluation
