The inapproximability results apply to all extensions of the maximum coverage problem since they hold the maximum coverage problem as a special case.

The Maximum Coverage Problem can be applied to road traffic situations; one such example is selecting which bus routes in a public transportation network should be installed with pothole detectors to maximise coverage, when only a limited number of sensors is available. This problem is a known extension of the Maximum Coverage Problem and was first explored in literature by Junade Ali and Vladimir Dyo.<ref>{{cite book|last1=Ali|first1=Junade|last2=Dyo|first2=Vladimir|title=Coverage and Mobile Sensor Placement for Vehicles on Predetermined Routes: A Greedy Heuristic Approach|journal=Proceedings of the 14th International Joint Conference on E-Business and Telecommunications|date=2017|volume=Volume 2: WINSYS|pages=83–88|doi=10.5220/0006469800830088|url=http://www.scitepress.org/DigitalLibrary/PublicationsDetail.aspx?ID=ddWw1NMB3VI%3d|isbn=978-989-758-261-5}}</ref>
