Computer integrated systems design for the track
Asiina Cycling Team runs track programmes, rider development and event timing systems built by its Lehi, Utah crew. Everything below is delivered from our hall at 2655 N Garden Dr, Lehi - 84048-5787, United States (US), and every service shares one calendar, one data model and one coaching philosophy.
Six services, one machine
A velodrome only works when its parts agree. The coaching must know what the timing system will record, the scheduling must know what the clinics need, and the logistics must know which riders are travelling and when. Our six services are designed as interlocking components rather than separate products, so a decision made in one place is visible everywhere it matters.
Track Program Coaching
Track Program Coaching is the core of our practice. We build block based plans for riders who race and intend to keep racing, and we anchor every block to measured gate data rather than to feel alone. A typical week pairs two structured interval sessions with one technique session and one endurance ride, all recorded so that the coach and the rider look at the same numbers. Standing starts are filmed and reviewed frame by frame. Pursuit efforts are compared against the rider own history, not against a generic chart.
The coaching relationship is deliberately explicit. At the end of every session each rider receives a written note with one thing that worked and one thing to change. Across a block those notes become a record of progress that is difficult to argue with and easy to trust. When a plan needs to change, we change it in the open, and the rider is told exactly why the next three weeks look different from the previous three.
Rider Development Squads
Rider Development Squads gather eight to twelve riders of similar level onto one calendar for a full season. The squad trains together, warms up together and debriefs together, which turns individual sessions into a team habit. Coaches rotate through the group so that every rider is seen by more than one set of eyes, and the group reviews its own footage in short, structured meetings after each timed night.
Squads are graded on consistency rather than on wins. A rider who can reproduce a split within a narrow band week after week is progressing, whether or not that split happens to lead a heat. This standard protects younger riders from peaking too early, keeps experienced riders honest, and gives the whole group a shared language for what improvement actually looks like on a banked surface.
Event Timing Systems
Event Timing Systems are where our computer integrated systems design work is most visible. We specify, install and maintain bidirectional gate loops, split boards and live result feeds. Each crossing is written to a local database first, so a network problem degrades the live display but never costs a race its results. The published start list updates the moment a heat is confirmed, and the finish order is computed from the same raw records that the officials use.
We also care about the human side of timing. A board that shows too much information is slower to read than a board that shows one number, so our displays are stripped to what a coach or commentator actually needs at that instant. Behind the board, a complete log is kept for every event, which makes it straightforward to answer a protest with evidence rather than memory.
Venue Scheduling
Venue Scheduling is the booking layer that decides who is on the banking and when. Club blocks, coaching slots, junior school visits, maintenance windows and race days all live in one conflict free calendar with rules that are written down and visible to everyone. When two requests cannot both be satisfied, the system says so at the moment of booking rather than on the morning of the session.
The schedule is more than a list of times. It carries the setup each session needs, the equipment that must be on the apron, and the staff who must be present. Because it shares a data model with the timing system, a race day automatically reserves its own timing crew and its own warm up window. Scheduling stops being a person holding a difficult telephone and becomes a shared map of the venue week.
Youth Track Clinics
Youth Track Clinics are the front door of the whole programme. We introduce riders aged nine to sixteen to the track in short, calm sessions that teach bike handling, the drop in, the line through the corner and the discipline of rolling on and off the rail. Nothing is rushed. A rider who is not yet comfortable at speed stays on the flat until they are, because confidence learned early lasts far longer than confidence forced early.
Each clinic ends with a short debrief in which every rider names one thing they improved. Coaches record those answers, so a family can see the arc of a young rider across a season. Many clinic graduates move into our development squads, and a few have gone on to race at a level they would never have imagined when they first rolled onto the apron.
Team Logistics Support
Team Logistics Support covers the unglamorous machinery that decides whether a team arrives calm. We handle travel plans, equipment manifests, race entries, accommodation blocks and the packing lists that keep a track bike and its spare wheels together. Coaches and riders then spend their attention on the banking instead of on the parking lot.
Because logistics shares the same calendar as coaching and scheduling, changes propagate automatically. If a race day moves, the travel plan, the equipment manifest and the crew roster all move with it. That single source of truth has saved more than one campaign from a quietly missed entry deadline, and it lets a small crew operate with the reliability of a much larger organisation.
How we work with you
- Listening visit. We meet you at the hall, watch a session and learn what is actually getting in the way, whether that is timing, scheduling, coaching or simple logistics.
- Written design. We put our understanding on one page: the problem, the instruments involved, the data that will be produced and the standard by which we will judge success.
- Small pilot. We prove the design on a single squad or a single race night before committing the whole venue to it, so any weakness shows up cheaply.
- Full build. We install, configure and hand over the system with training for the staff who will use it every week.
- Season review. At the end of each block we review the data with you and adjust the plan for the next block.
Tell us what your track needs and we will bring the coaching, the timing and the logistics into one working system for your riders.
