Broadcast Demographics

Problem:

The Corporation for Public Broadcasting wanted a system that would help them analyze the area and people covered by television and radio stations that received funding.

 

Solution:

AreaPop II integrates MapInfo with PCensus to produce coverage maps and specialized demographic reports for individual stations or groups of stations. For more information on this project. Click Here

 


 

Healthcare Demographics

Problem:

CareData.com, a major provider of healthcare utilization and demographic data to the healthcare industry, required a software product for the dissemination of maps and data to its clients to enable them to: Perform competitive market analysis, determine the best sites for new facilities, and identify future healthcare demand Display data in a presentation-quality map Base decisions on a more thorough understanding of information Communicate effectively to key personnel and clients Identify areas of high demand Develop the infrastructure for services Show locations of selected facilities Display healthcare provider networks

 

Solution:

Tetrad used its experience in developing demographic analysis and mapping software to create the Avenir system. Avenir has been used since 1997 for the analysis and display of CareData's HealthPac data products

 


Tidal Charts

Problem:

The Canadian Coast Guard wanted a system to help river pilots decide on the best time to move a ship up or down the shipping channel in the South Arm of the Fraser River.

 

Solution:

Avadepth determines the critical depth and location at two hour intervals along the channel. The computation accounts for tidal effects, water volume flow in river, and standard water depth. A 24 hour graph of the critical depth quickly conveys the information to pilots.

 

 

 


Cellular Networks

Problem:

Rogers AT&T Wireless Inc. needed a system to analyze the coverage and operating efficiency of their cellular network.

 

Solution:

MapNet integrates Visual Basic and MapBasic routines with MapInfo to produce maps showing area coverage, frequency plan and usage trends, statistical reports and market trends.

 

 


Internet Reports & Graphs

Problem:

The Canadian Coast Guard wanted more convenient methods for distributing their reports and graphs to help river pilots decide on the best time to move a ship up or down the shipping channel in the South Arm of the Fraser River.

 

Solution:

Using Active Server Pages and server components, Avadepth Internet is an on-line application that allows river pilots, using a standard web browser, to access water depth reports, graphs, and sounding drawings on the Internet.

Aboriginal Treaties

Problem:

The Canadian Department of Indian and Northern Affairs required a system to monitor the progress of aboriginal treaty implementation.

 

Solution:

The Treaty Obligation System monitors the progress of different obligations that can arise during the implementation of a treaty.  The system provides for:

  • Multiple treaties (agreements with aboriginal bands)
  • Multiple owners (parties to agreements)
  • User defined subject keywords for subsequent searches
  • Priority of obligation (definite, permissive, contingent)
  • Target date for completion of obligation
  • Numerous other features

 

The system was developed using Visual Basic 6.0.  The back end database is running on  SQL Server 6.5.

Note:  This is a sample of work done.  Intellectual rights and copyright belong to INAC.

 

 


Homeless Shelter Management

Problem:

Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation requested that a system be developed to gather and provide statistical information on homeless people in Canada.  The system would need to be flexible to meet the diverse needs of shelters across Canada.

 

Solution:

HIFIS (Homeless Individuals and Families Information System) was designed by Tetrad to meet shelter client registration and administrative database system requirements.  It also provides a means for aggregating client information at regional and national levels without revealing the identity of individual clients.
