Speed limit maps for vehicles

As the adoption of new vehicle technologies to limit vehicle speeds becomes more common, car manufacturers need to ensure their systems are accurate and up-to-date.

HERE Technologies, the leading location data and technology platform, use our speedmap database for the UK and Republic of Ireland to support their ISA Map, delivering vehicle systems and drivers fresh and accurate speed limit information on any road.

Combining datasets to understand risk

Speed limit information, when combined with telematics data using vehicle speeds from GPS tracks, provides an excellent opportunity for road authorities and enforcement agencies to asess road sections with poor compliance.

Agilysis have been providing simple, yet powerful tools to decision makers using this data for the last three years via an online portal.

Speedmap will be a part of the PSGA from April 2023

Following several years of supply speed limit data to OS customers via their reseller network, we are proud to announce that the map will soon be available to the public sector free-of-charge via the PSGA.
