The Point_2_StreetAddress UK software and data library is specifically for software developers who aim to provide asset monitoring software solutions using satellite global positioning systems to provide location and time. The main features of the library are that it can be optimised to give fast results, it has the capability to process thousands of GPS records per second, it can record the street,suburb,town, county and postcode of each asset and give the location and time of measurement. It can record the location and time at specified intervals such as every two or three minutes. It gives the location of each asset fitted with a satellite GPS receiver as an ASCII text record in comma separated value format. You can read through the list of addresses which reveal where an asset has been. You can track its travel by streets, suburbs, towns, counties and postcodes. The individual records can be compressed and archived in a way which achieves compression but gives fast access to an asset when tracking is required. The software runs on Linux or Windows plaforms. Data can be stored in an object database management system to facilitate rapid access to all records.

The Point_2_StreetAddress UK software and data library is specifically for tracking assets in the UK by street addresses. It was designed and implemented for continual tracking of valuable vehicles, plant and other assets which are capable of being moved by road or rail. Having devised and developed the library, we have received inquiries about its use in diverse sectors and for different types of assets. The main benefit is that it provides a list of street addresses and times of where an asset has been. This is valuable information if an asset has been stolen or moved without authority or permission. The full street addresses, locations and times of where an asset has been enables tracking of an asset for insurance, security and other reasons.

Benefits

  • Converts the Longitude and Latitude co-ordinates of a location to a full street address in the UK
  • Records location and time of where an asset has been by time as an ASCII text comma separated value file.
  • Records can be stored in a database management system for fast search and retrieval to deal with incidents.
  • Significantly automates manual procedures for vehicle and other asset tracking in the UK.
  • Lets you store a street address which can be read and understood at all times.
  • Ensures important address information continually revised and kept up-to-date.
  • Can provide automated alerts if a vehicle is moved from a stationery site by email.
  • Library is written in C++ and capable of being integrated with business sytems.


The Point2StreetAddress Toolkit lets you exploit the Royal mail Postcode Address File (PAF) data of over 28 million individual addresses and 1.7 million streets in the UK. It will return a full address from a street name and town or a postcode. Fuzzy matching technology inherent in the Point2StreetAddress library gives most likely address matches from abbreviations, misspellings and incomplete addresses.
