The SARTI group of the UPC and the company RocRoi collaborate to apply IoT technologies to the safety and control of recreational boating activities through the implementation of IoT technology and GPS sensors in kayaks that allow advanced monitoring of performance, providing essential data such as distance traveled, speed, pace and frequency of paddling, so users can know their performance.

It will help improve safety in navigation by providing information on the exact location through GPS sensors placed in the kayak, which will also alert in case of emergency situations. This advance will allow participants to be rescued immediately and increase confidence in the safety of the adventure activity.

Another advantage that this digital modernization of the outdoor sector will offer is the digital recording of adventures. Through the connected devices, detailed records of each trip will be created and relevant statistics will be included. It will also help to prevent the loss of material, since they will be monitored and can be easily located, thus improving the management of the operation of the activities.
