LocationAgent

LocationAgent enables IT professionals to integrate GIS functionality such as maps, geocoding, optimal routing and other spatial technology, into new or existing Web applications.

LocationAgent is ideal for:

  • High-volume, real-time business processes where location is important
  • Wireless location solutions where staff or assets are mobile
  • Back office reporting requirements

LocationAgent utilises proprietary data storage, indexing and retrieval techniques in order to optimise spatial data queries and operations. These caching and indexing techniques enable LocationAgent to rapidly process and present multiple layers of spatial information. And with its map-database independence, LocationAgent can access and present multiple sources of location-based data - including business information of all kinds - in a single integrated map.

LocationAgent has a stateless architecture designed to meet the ever-changing business and scalability requirements of location intelligence applications. Built on J2EE and Web Services technology, it can be deployed within or integrate with your existing service-oriented IT architecture and business applications.

LocationAgent delivers the location intelligence required by modern business applications:

  • AJAX-style click-and-drag map rendering
  • Spatial queries, for example: "Find closest to a point" or "Give me the total values of all points in this geographic area"
  • Support for a wide variety of road-network database formats including NAVTEQ and Tele Atlas
  • A powerful phonetic engine that transforms ambiguous or misleading address information into the most likely location
  • Reverse geocoding that accepts points or shapes in any coordinate system and returns intuitive location descriptions
  • Multi-point routing that provides intelligent optimal route calculation
  • Support for positional inputs from GPS, A-GPS, GSM/ cellular, Wi-Fi, DSRC/microwave based and other vehicle-sensor input devices

LocationAgent brings mission-critical power to each of your location intelligent solutions, including:

  • Scalability and speed.
  • AJAX-style click-and-drag maps
  • J2EE compliance
  • Easily integrated Web Services and Java SDKs
  • Hosted, deployed and distributed architectures
  • Map data independence
