Transport planning saves time and money and reduces impact on the environment

The Swedish Home Care Service involves a lot of transport. By finding the smartest routes between customers, local authorities can save time and money, and reduce impact on the environment. More and more local authorities are therefore investing in traffic management systems.

The problem is how to access the right information. Data about the road network and buildings do exist, but as many employees of the Home Care Service travel by bicycle, local authorities also need information about cycle paths - and this is not always easy to come by.

With the new infrastructure for geodata, it will be possible to find the relevant information and to integrate it into useable applications.
