Telematics and Location Based Services

RMSI has extensive expertise in providing Location Based Services (LBS). This includes:

Base Data:

Geographic data is an important aspect of any location system. RMSI creates accurate base map data for use in location based systems such as man made structures (streets, buildings), terrains (mountains, rivers), and point-of-interest data such as location of gas stations, restaurants, and nightclubs.

Navigation and Tracking:

RMSI's expertise lies in providing a range of navigation and tracking solutions, from fleet application management to enabling mobile commerce. Fleet applications typically entail tracking vehicles by the base station. Tracking is also a key component in enabling mobile commerce services, as the system can track mobile users and provide information on request, such as notifying the user of a sale at a store close by.

Emergency Services (E911):

Location based emergency service application that pinpoints your location and relays it to the appropriate authorities.

Location Management Function:

It is not enough to be able to position the mobile user and know the map data around that position. There must be a location management function to process positioning and geospatial data on behalf of LBS applications. The location management function acts as a gateway and mediator between positioning equipment and LBS infrastructure.

Location Based Information:

Enabling services to be location based is a key way to personalize information services. The LBS application interacts with other location technology components to determine the user's location and provide requested information relevant for that particular area.
