Abstract

The effective interaction of innovative navigation and communication technologies with intelligent GIS management systems have led to a number of successful applications in the domain of transport telematics (e.g. route guidance, fleet management and emergency call) in the last few years. Since low price Personal Digital Assistants (PDAs) and PD Acompatible GPS receivers are available, there is a potential to introduce new local and personalised mobile applications which require a vehicle independent combination of so-called core technologies like satellite positioning, mobile data communication, and GIS management systems. Hence, many processes in risk and catastrophe management can be optimized and the security of individuals (mountain rescuers, tourists, etc.) can be improved by this technology.
