 AREAS  REAL-TIME INFORMATION

The possibility to continuously update the contents of digital maps has created the potential for applications to receive, process and synthesize real-time information and knowledge about a geographic environment. Digital maps connected to real-time information streams have become living images of a dynamic geographic environment, and allow users and applications to decide and act as if they were in the actual environment. Real time-nformation feeds thus enable the creation and use of dynamic maps.

 BENEFITS  Dynamic maps bring two important benefits to applications using geographic information, namely

• A continuous awareness of the changes in a situation and of the events a user is interested in, and
• The capability to monitor and to rapidly analyse and react to events and relevant situations in applications which are connected to real-time digital mapping environments.

 INTELLIGENT CAPABILITIES  Geontics' team offers significant experience in using real-time geographic information to provide intelligent capabilities. This know-how allows us to provide solutions for adding several types of advanced functionality to clients' projects or products:

• Real-time, updated situation rendering capabilities,
• Automated event detection and response functionality, and
• Temporal situation analysis
• Real-time decision-making facilities

Typical application domains include marketing, emergency response, traffic management and logistics, to name just a few. The opportunities extend practically to any problem where live geographic information can have an impact on the outcome of decisions or activities.

 EXPERIENCE  Over the years we have addressed the challenge of efficiently capturing, understanding and responding to situations which have both a geographic and a temporal dimension. Examples include:

• Inferring the presence of events from separate cues dispersed throughout a geographic area
• Recognizing and understanding situations based on events and changes in a geographic area
• Associating entities with events and activities and predicting outcomes
• Detecting and predicting geographic/geospatial trends
