1. A computer-implemented vehicle routing method comprising:

  • remotely controlling a locomotion component of a vehicle routing a vehicle along a vehicle route that defines vertical coordinates of travel in a three-dimensional space towards a destination;

    determining a set of geographic regions in the three-dimensional space that the vehicle is to travel through based on the route;

    collecting external signals for the set of geographic regions;

    detecting a set of events associated with the set of geographic regions based on the external signals;

    receiving a set of vehicle parameters from the vehicle, including sensor data from an altimeter;

    generating a vehicle module based on the set of vehicle parameters and a vehicle class associated with the vehicle;

    determining a vehicle interaction region associated with environmental interaction in the three-dimensional space for the vehicle class;

    filtering the set of events using the generated vehicle module identifying an event impacting travel of the vehicle along an impacted part of the route based on a vehicle parameter associated with the vehicle and based on the determined vehicle interaction region, the vehicle parameters selected from the set of vehicle parameters;

    further remotely controlling the locomotion component automatically re-routing the vehicle along an adjusted vehicle route that defines adjusted vertical coordinates of travel in the three-dimensional space towards the destination in response to identifying the event, including dynamically modifying the locomotion component operation to move the vehicle along the adjusted vehicle route, the adjusted vehicle route distinct from the vehicle route.
