Abstract: A method of tracking and communicating information about a person to a provider of goods or services is disclosed. A GPS enabled mobile phone is used to search for nearby sites of providers of a specific service. Once a service provider is selected, a route to that provider is advised and as the person travels towards the provider the separation between them is determined. As one or more geofences are broken during the journey warning messages are sent to the service provider indicating the pending arrival. The method is particularly useful where the service is to be provided to a disabled person as their accessibility needs can be identified in the message.

Abstract: A method of and apparatus for creating record data for an authorizing body of, for example, skips and other waste containers is disclosed. Such a system includes receiving data from a telemetry system attached to a skip lorry. This data includes, vehicle identification data, location data identifying a location of the vehicle and loading/unloading data identifying when an object is loaded onto and/or unloaded from the vehicle. This data is then processed to determine locations where waste containers have been loaded and unloaded from vehicles and compare this to a permit booking system to ensure compliance with the booking system.
