Oxfordshire County Council
Oxfordshire is a prosperous county served by good transport facilities, but with the fast pace of economic development it has seen higher than average traffic growth. Non-motorway traffic is growing by nearly 2% per year compared to 1% across the UK, while motorway traffic is increasing by nearly 6% as against 4% elsewhere. The trend is set to continue in line with projected population increases.
Transport Direct
Transport Direct is the first ever web portal giving instant access to comprehensive journey information by both public and private transport across Great Britain. The portal reflects the Department of Transport vision of a secure, reliable integrated transport system that meets the needs of individual travellers while safeguarding the environment. It is also a key part of government policy of providing electronic delivery of public services.
Managing the Risk from Fire
Each fire authority in England and Wales has been asked to produce an Integrated Risk Management Plan. To achieve this, a new process for planning Fire Service Emergency Cover has been developed. OS MasterMap® Integrated Transport NetworkTM is being used to calculate the time that each vehicle would take to arrive at any census output area.
