SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR EVALUATING QUALITY OF PEN RIDER ACTIVITIES IN FEEDLOT ENVIRONMENT

摘要

The invention includes a system and method for evaluating the quality of pen rider activities in an environment such as a feedlot. The quality of the activities relate to individual rides conducted by pen riders in a feedlot in which the rides are numerically scored. The score is a function of a plurality of measured factors that specifically correspond to the physical actions of a pen rider while occupying a pen. The measured factors may be incorporated within an algorithm for determining the numerical score. The measured factors may include the number of seconds paused within a pen, a ride length within the pen, a ride speed within the pen, the number of rotations of the rider within the pen, and combinations thereof. The quality of activities is also evaluated by visual records showing routes taken as recorded by GPS locations. User interfaces are automatically generated to show ride scores and routes taken by riders on a graphical display.
