Spatial data quality for Local Authority Highways Departments
Socium is an approved supplier on the Government’s G-Cloud framework, working with councils across the country to help them quickly and easily overcome their spatial data challenges. By utilising Socium’s cloud-based Online Validation Service, highways departments are able to validate their spatial data free of charge, thus ensuring it is fit for purpose. This free webinar session will provide you with: • Examples of how councils are already saving time and money by using the service to identify and locate errors within their road and highways data • A look at typical data issues faced by highways teams, that can easily be solved with the validation service to create a truly connected road network data set • A live demonstration of the service showing you how in just a matter of seconds, you can validate your data and load a SHP or TAB file directly into your own GIS application for visualisation and correction. In addition you will find out: • How you can use the service completely free of charge • How we can work with you to create new rules that will address a specific data challenge you are currently working with. We look forward to welcoming you to join us for this webinar

12 April. Netherlands

The International Civil Unmanned Aircraft System Event 2012
The event consist of a seminar and exhibition, and after wards the possibility to network. Location of the event is the High Tech Campus, Eindhoven, Netherlands. The UAS, or Remote Piloted Aircraft Systems (RPA-S), staying in line with ICAO’s terminology, has opened a promising new chapter in the history of aerospace. However, while military exploitation of UAS has grown exponentially in recent years, this trend has so far not yet been followed by the civil sector. Unmanned Aircraft Systems are becoming increasingly important for non-military applications such as aerial photography, GEO-information, agricultural remote sensing and application, pipeline and power line surveillance, fisheries and wildlife monitoring, fire-fighting, weather and climate studies, security, law enforcement, rescue, recovery missions and event broadcasting. However, the absence of a clear EU regulatory framework limits the possibility to fly UAS in non segregated airspace. The main issue is the integration of all UAS as a new airspace user into the future ATM System. For the time being UAS are only partially considered. This Event brings experts, developers, manufacturers, service providers, system integrators and end users together, to create an UAS business ecosystem. The Conference aims to : · Increase awareness about the significant potential of Unmanned Aircraft Systems applications for the benefit of end-users; · Increase awareness about possibilities of new lightweight, light energy, stand-off sensors; · Raise political awareness of the potential and to overcome current obstacles in Europe to the use of Unmanned Aircraft Systems; · Creation of an UAS business ecosystem.
