APPLICATIONS
Mapping locations:
GIS can be used to map locations. GIS allows the creation of maps through automated
mapping, data capture, and surveying analysis tools.
Mapping quantities:
People map quantities, like where the most and least are, to find places that meet their
criteria and take action, or to see the relationships between places. This gives an additional level
of information beyond simply mapping the locations of features.
Mapping densities:
While you can see concentrations by simply mapping the locations of features, in areas
with many features it may be difficult to see which areas have a higher concentration than others.
A density map lets you measure the number of features using a uniform areal unit, such as acres or
square miles, so you can clearly see the distribution.
Finding distances:
GIS can be used to find out what's occurring within a set distance of a feature.

This new technology, popularly called vehicle Tracking Systems has done wonders in
maintaining the security of the vehicle.
Vehicle Tracking System is one of the biggest technological advancements to track the
activities of the vehicle. The security system uses Global Positioning System GPS, to find the
location of the monitored or tracked vehicle and then uses satellite or radio systems to send to
send the coordinates and the location data to the monitoring center. At monitoring center various
software‘s are used to plot the Vehicle on a map. In this way the Vehicle owners are able to track
their vehicle on a real-time basis. Due to real-time tracking facility, vehicle tracking systems are
becoming increasingly popular among owners of expensive vehicles.
Applications 5.13
The vehicle tracking hardware is fitted on to the vehicle. It is fitted in such a manner that it
is not visible to anyone who is outside the vehicle. Thus it operates as a covert unit which
continuously sends the location data to the monitoring unit.
When the vehicle is stolen, the location data sent by tracking unit can be used to find the
location and coordinates can be sent to police for further action. Some Vehicle tracking System
can even detect unauthorized movements of the vehicle and then alert the owner. This gives an
edge over other pieces of technology for the same purpose
Monitoring center Software helps the vehicle owner with a view of the location at which
the vehicle stands. Browsing is easy and the owners can make use of any browser and connect to
the monitoring center software, to find and track his vehicle. This in turn saves a lot of effort to
find the vehicle's position by replacing the manual call to the driver.
As we have seen the vehicle tracking system is an exciting piece of technology for vehicle
security. It enables the owner to virtually keep an eye on his vehicle any time and from anywhere
in the world.
It was the shipping industry that first started using vehicle tracking systems. When large
fleet of vehicles were spread out over the vast expanses of ocean, the owner corporations often
found it difficult to keep track of what was happening. As the saying goes necessity is the mother
of invention; thus GPS tracking systems which originally were used in military operations found
their application here. The commercial application grew poular very soon and these days
5.14 GIS
consumer vehicles of all sorts use tracking systems as devices to prevent theft and enhance
retrieval.
The Technology
GPS (Global Positioning System) is the technology most commonly used for vehicle
tracking these days. There are also other variants of AVL (Automatic Vehicle Location) that
enable easy location of vehicles. The GPS modules with their satellite linked positioning
technique make easy and accurate location of the vehicle possible. The information can be viewed
on electronic maps that are connected to the Internet or otherwise supported by specialized
software. Advanced GPS modules may also have cellular or satellite transmitters that
communicate with remote users apart from the central station from where the tracking is done.
As we saw earlier, the GPS system uses satellite signals. These systems were originally
developed by the government for defense purposes. The satellite part is thus available to civilians
and commercial users free of cost. All the user needs to do is install the appropriate devices for
sending out and receiving signals. This makes GPS an inexpensive technology.
The other AVL systems like Loran and LoJack are terrestrial based and use radio
frequency (RF) transmitters. RF transmitters send out powerful signals that can pass through
walls, garages and other indoor barriers. Terrestrial or otherwise, most of these do not need
antenna to be in direct line of sight with the satellite. This is a major advantage of the technology‘s
progress.
These systems are also used in consumer vehicles as devices for preventing theft and
retrieving stolen/lost vehicles. The signal sent out by the installed device help the police to track
the vehicle. These tracking systems can be used as an alternative for traditional car alams or in
combination with it. Installing tracking systems can thus bring down the insurance costs for your
vehicle by reducing the risk factor.
Applications 5.15
Vehicle Tracking systems often have several alternatives, like sending automatic alerts to
a phone or email if the vehicle is moved without due authorization. They can also work as one
layer of several combined security measures.
Apart from security concerns, the tracking systems can also help users such as taxi
services to improve their customer service. The systems enable the operators to identify the empty
taxis and direct the nearest one to pick up the customer.
Vehicle tracking systems can also be applied for monitoring driving behavior for both
commercial and individual situations. Parents for instance can use tracking devices to keep an eye
on their teenage son‘s driving.
Tracking and Recovery of Stolen Vehicles: GPS, or better still RF, can help to trace and
recover stolen vehicles. LoJack devices can even be activated remotely by the police
System:
The system consists of modern hardware and software components enabling one to track
their vehicle online or offline. Any vehicle tracking system consists of mainly three parts mobile
vehicle unit, fixed based station and, database and software system.
• Vehicle Unit: It is the hardware component attached to the vehicle having either a
GPS/GSM modem. The unit is configured around a primary modem that functions
with the tracking software by receiving signals from GPS satellites or radio station
points with the help of antenna. The controller modem converts the data and sends the
vehicle location data to the server.
• Fixed Based Station: Consists of a wireless network to receive and forward the data
to the data center. Base stations are equipped with tracking software and geographic
5.16 GIS
map useful for determining the vehicle location. Maps of every city and landmarks are
available in the based station that has an in-built Web Server.
• Database and Software: The position information or the coordinates of each visiting
points are stored in a database, which later can be viewed in a display screen using
digital maps. However, the users have to connect themselves to the web server with
the respective vehicle ID stored in the database and only then s/he can view the
location of vehicle traveled.
Summation:
No doubt, Vehicle tracking system whether it is GPS based or any other wireless medium
has brought one of the most important technological advances in today‘s communication field.
Now one doesn‘t have to leave a place to know where a particular vehicle is at a given period of
time. The automatic vehicle locating system only with the help of a tinny electronic device and
tracking software can detect the real-time location of a vehicle by using the conventional cell
phone network and Internet.
It is also used as a defense mechanism which protects the vehicles such as construction
equipments, trucks, trailers etc. from theft. This is done with the help of some electronic
equipment attached to the vehicles so that the location of the missing vehicle can be identified as
early as possible.
• Another device is satellite transmitters, which transmits signal to a remote user about
the location of the vehicle.
• Loran and Lojack units locate the vehicle by radio frequency that can penetrate
through stone-built structures such as walls, buildings and garages.
Mainly two types of tracking are described: Active tracking and Passive tracking.
• Active tracking works on real time basis that is after collecting information about
location, speed, and destination, the device sends it to data centre. Radio frequency is
active technology.
• Passive tracking works as long as vehicle is on destination. It stores GPS data that can
be later downloaded to the computer. Here different tracking software is available for
storing and downloading data.
Benefits:
This technology is best used by fleet operators for better management. Everything routing,
dispatch, onboard information, security is managed efficiently. Driving behaviour can also be
known by this device.
Technology holds good for consumers‘ vehicles also. Device also makes the task of police
to recover the stolen vehicles easily. It also works as alert system and raise an alarm when vehicle
is removed from the place without authority. Information regarding its location, status and daily
reports can be taken on real time basis from the vehicle itself.
Field of uses:
Technology can be used for different purposes including service management, fleet
management, stolen vehicle recovery, field sales and trailer tracking.
The devices with various facilities help to keep a watch and control on them. You just
need to attach a small tracking device with your vehicle and the service providers do the rest with
tracking software that provides timely details of the vehicle. Some of the basic features are given
below.
Function:
5.18 GIS
Device identifies the location of the vehicle on a real time basis. Just through internet you
can easily track your exact position of the vehicle.
Whether passive or active the tracking devices store all location and speed details that you
can collect through your PC by using internet and a special software made for this purpose. Even
one can set the speed limitation in the device attached. If somebody drives the car beyond the
specified speed limit, it will alert you immediately.
Device helps not only to keep limit on its speed but also on its area. Similarly you can
create safety zones so that the moment your vehicle goes out of the designated area, the device
alerts you through SMS, email or by using any other wireless media.
Best feature of the system is its easiness with which it can be used. From anywhere one
can get the information about that particular vehicle by logging in the information required.
Details about the car are displayed within seconds.
Some devices work even in a smarter way by making a chart of the entire activities of the
vehicle over a period of time that you can analyse later on. Hence, these tracking devices have
really revolutionised the communication medium by providing various cool features at your
fingertips.
For tracing the time lag between the time code signal sent and the time it was actually
received on earth GPS makes use of theory of relativity propounded by Einstein and four signals
to provide accuracy.
Once the technology was confined to military domain, today it became a $15 billion
industry. Mostly GPS is being used by the public transportation agencies as they generally have to
deal with larger area. For example school buses in cities to keep the track of the buses to make
safety of the passengers sure. GPS gives drivers information about the other vehicle so that on the
basis of information received may align its own course avoiding traffic congestion. Thus keeping
passengers safe and also saving time.
This also gives parents peace of mind as they find that vehicle carrying their children are
regularly being monitored or kept watch.
In India, a fleet of one fifty GPS enabled metered taxis were launched in Mumbai. This
enhanced fleet provided better customer services as they now were able to book a taxi in advance
just by few strokes on internet or phone and call taxi at a preferred location. This added one more
to the list of benefits to the customer that now customer will be charged appropriately as all the
Applications 5.19
data regarding mileage will be sent back to the control centre. This also ensures the safety of the
passenger as there are reduced chances of kidnapping or harming the passenger by virtue of
monitoring of the vehicle.
In companies device is used to track especially supply trucks and trucks used by the
contractors going to job sites. This permits real time tracking of the mobile asset. This also
abridges the gap between the actual mileage and the bill paid for it. Transparency naturally comes
in the system.
Thus tracking of vehicles reduces the cost of labour, fuel and culminates into the efficient
service delivery system.
5.6. MARKETING

Background
Ash dieback is a tree disease that has hit the headlines in recent years, threatening to
almost completely destroy Britain‘s estimated 130 million ash trees, but it‘s not the only threat to
native tree species. An increasing number of invasive pests and diseases threaten British trees. In
response, the Forestry Commission needed to have efficient processes to address the threats in a
proactive and consistent way.
In July 2013, EU LIFE+ approved funding for the 4 year Observatree project lead by the
Forestry Commission. As part of this project the opportunity was seized to take advantage of an
engaged public as ‗citizen scientists‘ as well as the 25,000 or so people who work in the arboreal
industry. What was needed was an easy to use application that would allow them to make
scientifically useful reports about their observations.
5.7.7. Solution
With limited time and budget available to the project team, an innovative and efficient
approach was required. Any solution needed to be ready for deployment prior to the start of the
next growing season, when most of the reports are made.
To achieve this goal the Forestry Commission engaged SCISYS to help them design and
deliver Tree Alert. Tree Alert is a browser based application that guides users through a series of
intelligent questions, which reflect previous answers, to help to identify the issue, including
confirmation of the species as well as the key symptoms.
Using an Open Architecture combining a number of Open Source and existing SCISYS
technologies, the project team were able to take advantage of functionality already available. The
basis of the site uses the content management system Joomla to provide an application framework.
This has been integrated with the SCISYS Digiright component to capture the location
information about the observation.
Benefits
Tree Alert has significantly increased the reach of the Forestry Commission in collecting
observation about potential tree diseases and pests. Commenting on the solution Roger Coppock,
Head of Corporate and Forestry Support, Forestry Commission said ―The information gathered
Applications 5.27
on the Tree Alert site doesn‘t just allow us to investigate individual cases reported by the general
public, as we can now set priorities based on risk and track the incidence of new and invasive
pests and diseases. This information will prove invaluable in our understanding of how tree pests
and diseases spread in Britain, and help us to protect our woodlands for generations to come.‖
Benefits
The benefits to Natural Resources Wales include:
• A data comparison tool that can be used to detect change within the flood zones. The
tool compares newly generated data to previous polygons to assist in the preparation of
data for delivery into external data products.
• Improved data management procedures and processes which are aligned to and
integrated with their data management lifecycle workflow.
• Gemini 2.1 INSPIRE compliant metadata integrated into the data management
lifecycle.
• A set of recommendations and an associated roadmap to enable Natural Resources
Wales to streamline and develop its fly-tipping photograph geo-tagging process.
5.28 GIS
Background
In undertakings these operations the Authority collects, uses and maintains a vast array of
spatial data in some cases dating back hundreds of years. TCA were using a wide variety of end-
of-life point solutions to deliver services from islands of data across their enterprise. Apart from
the considerable financial implications of maintaining this position it was identified as limiting the
business as it was unable to adapt to changing market conditions and predicted volumes of
business. Corporate knowledge was ―siloed‖ making it time consuming to provide the
highest quality safety advice.
Solution
TCA commissioned SCISYS to supply an enterprise information service: known as
"Inferis", this facilitates smarter working via corporate data sharing and service re-use. Services
supplied span the entire software life cycle from analysis to support. A centralised spatially
enabled database serves all functions. SCISYS worked closely with TCA to understand their
corporate business processes and policies, considering each process in isolation. These were then
translated into the minimum number of generic capabilities and provided as re-useable services,
including the innovative approach of embedding suitably configured mapping (GIS) services
within workflow steps. Previously isolated pools of data are now accessible via the re-useable
services from a spatially enabled database. This significantly empowers the business as all
information and opinion on a site is available in one system: making the most of TCA assets. The
same services are re-used in all aspects of the business, from web based customer self service to
forensic geospatial analysis of corporate data by TCA specialists.
Inferis uses a hybrid architecture combining Esri components for back-end data processing
combined with open source components (Open Layers and Geo-server) to visualise and capture
data via the internal corporate GIS browser, cartosys, and external feature capture tool (the
SCISYS Digiright component).
"Up to date and accurate operational information is key to every decision we make in the
business and to our customers who rely on our coal mining report when buying and selling
property. With Inferis, for the first time, we have a single integrated system which provides the
solutions we need across the business and access to the most up to date information including
Ordnance Survey products." Says Steve Pennell, The Coal Authority Director of Mining
Information and Services.
Benefits
• All spatial data assets are now available across the whole enterprise
