  • Emergency service command and control
  • Noise mapping
  • Traffic analysis

Asset management

  • Road maintenance – revenue support grants
  • Street furniture, for example, fire hydrants, lamp posts
  • Buried services
  • Each local authority can create and maintain its component of the Local Street Gazetteer to level 3

Transport, logistics and distribution

  • Telematics products such as navigation systems
  • Comprehensive journey routing (such as www.transportdirect.info)
  • Fleet management
  • Waste management
  • Routing for courier and express companies
