Crime Maps
In 2008 the Home Office decided that every police force in England and Wales would publish
local crime information using interactive crime maps.
ISYS Systems Ltd. was approached to provide an on-line mapping system to support the Home
Office initiative.
The ISYS Map JavaScript API and ISYS Map image handler service (components of the
ASP.NET AJAX Mapping System) had the required functionality.
A requirement of the project was that the base mapping had to be built using Ordnance
Survey MasterMap data. OS MasterMap is a very detailed, vector mapping data set that is ideal
for building high quality street level mapping. However, one of the tasks ISYS had to perform
was to generalise the OS MasterMap data so that it could also be used for the overview
mapping. This involved significant pre-processing of the almost 500GB of vector data,
thinning of the coordinates and extracting partial datasets based on feature type,
length or area.
An important consideration in the development of the project was ISYS readiness to customise the ISYS
Map JavaScript API to the exact requirements of the client.
Within 4 weeks from receipt of OS MasterMap data, ISYS was able to deliver an on-line
mapping system with 12 levels of high quality raster mapping from 1:8,000,000 scale down
to 1:4,000 scale with varying detail to suit each level.
British Airports Authority
British Airports Authority (BAA) operates a fleet in excess of 600 vehicles airside at Heathrow
airport. These vehicles are used to provide services to BAA's airline customers bringing crews,
fuel, food, baggage, freight etc. to and from aircraft. Airlines are billed for these services
according to the length of time each vehicle is in attendance to each aircraft.
ISYS Systems was approached to provide a solution to help manage and track vehicle movements to and
from aircraft stands. Using an Autocad drawing of Heathrow airport as a basis, ISYS constructed a map
of Heathrow airport. From the map a geo-fence was created for each aircraft stand and a program
module was created to compare vehicle locations against the geo fences. The output of the program is
a report of which vehicles entered and exited each aircraft stand complete with the time of entry and
exit.

National Express
National Express recently won a contract from British Airports Authority (BAA) to operate a fleet of
crew buses airside at Gatwick Airport. In order to meet a service level agreement (SLA) National
Express needed to log at which time each crew was delivered to each aircraft.
As ISYS Systems had already produced a solution for a similar task at Heathrow, ISYS was chosen
to provide a solution for Gatwick. Using an Autocad drawing of Gatwick airport as a basis, ISYS
constructed a map of Gatwick airport. From the map a geo-fence was created for each aircraft stand
and a program module was created to compare the crew bus locations against the geo-fences. The output
of the program is a report of which crew buses entered and exited each aircraft stand complete
with the time of entry and exit.
