Other uses of address geocoding

Delivery services

The delivery services can benefit from address geocoding by establishing an optimal route for their deliveries. Once the address geocoding has being performed, the operator visually can select the best route for the deliveries on a map with the points of delivery and streets. In addition, there are in the market products like Arcview Network Analyst that can calculate the optimal route that serves all the delivery points.

Disease spread analysis and prevention

Public Health agencies can use the information collected from hospitals to track contagious disease by mapping the home locations of infected patients using the address they report at the hospital.

Emergency services

Services like 911 can use address geocoding to locate the emergency site and to calculate the shortest path between the closest emergency respond vehicle and the emergency location as well as the estimated respond time.
