The Point2StreetAddress application reads a Longitude and Latitude coordinates in the WGS84 spheroid from a GPS receiver and returns the postal address of the street nearest to where an asset is located at a given time. By using the time of each GPS fix, the application can track asset movements 24/7.
Using innovative software engineering technologies, the Point2StreetAddress application lets you locate, monitor and track assets in the UK by sending the GPS data and time by a telecommunications link to a server. The Point2StreetAddress application uses the Royal Mail Postcode Address File (PAF) data.
The Point2StreetAddress application stores a record with an asset identification number, time, location and the address of the nearest street. It lets you compress and store records by a unique asset number to provide a log of where an asset has been at any given time.
For example, imagine a GPS receiver is programmed to capture locations and time every minute. If an asset has been stolen, you can reprise the log file for selected dates and times to track where it has been moved by reading addresses and times of where it has been such as street names, suburbs, towns, counties, countries and postcodes. This information can be facilitate investigations by the police or other agency.
The Point2StreetAddress software can be optimised to process over 120,000 requests per minute depending on the computer platform being used.
The Point2StreetAddress software is comprised of a series of libraries which can be customised as a stand-alone application or to link into business systems. It can locate, monitor and track valuable assets such as vehicles, equipment, boats or farm animals on a continual basis. It can even locate people!
Point2StreetAddress software is for different types of business such as insurance, agriculture, vehicle leasing, equipment leasing, valuable goods in transit and security.
