METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR PRESENTING TRAFFIC-RELATED INFORMATION
First Claim
1. One or more computer-storage media having computer-useable instructions embodied thereon, that when executed by a computing device, perform a method of presenting real-world situational data on a system-independent, dynamically updateable user interface, the method comprising:
- receiving information from a vector based computer aided drafting (CAD) graphics file that depicts a drawing comprising display objects which correspond to real-world objects that have variable display characteristics, wherein the display objects describe roadway geometry;
obtaining object rendering data from the graphics file to form a set of definable objects situated to resemble the roadway geometry;
providing a dynamically updateable user interface (UI) comprising one or more dynamic objects which reflect real-world events;
depicting the one or more dynamic objects on a map generated from the object-rendering data;
receiving situational data corresponding to a status of the real-world events;
conforming one or more variable characteristics associated with the dynamic objects according to the received situational data; and
updating the object rendering data, which automatically updates the associated dynamic objects of the dynamically updateable UI.

Abstract
Presenting of real-world situational data on a dynamically updateable user interface is provided for by providing a dynamically updateable user interface that includes dynamic objects having variable characteristics and that correspond to real-world objects, receiving situational data that corresponds to a status of the one or more real-world objects, and conforming the one or more variable characteristics to be consistent with the situational data such that an observer of the one or more dynamic objects is informed of a current status of a corresponding real-world situation.

11. One or more computer-storage media having computer-useable instructions embodied thereon, that when executed by a computing device, perform a method for presenting real-world situational data on a dynamically updateable user interface, the method comprising:
-
creating a dynamically updateable user interface (UI) including a map from a vector based computer aided drafting (CAD) graphics file comprising object-rendering data which describes real-world objects; drawing the map via the dynamically updateable UI comprising static objects representing roadway geometry and depictions of dynamic objects, the depictions represented by attribute-receivable objects which are associated with one or more variable characteristics; conforming the one or more variable characteristics according to received situational data; receiving an indication that the object-rendering data has changed; and automatically updating the map in response to the changed object-rendering data located in a repository. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13)

14. One or more computer-storage media having computer-useable instructions embodied thereon, that when executed by a computing device, facilitate a method for presenting real-world situational data on a dynamically updateable user interface, the method comprising:
-
importing one or more graphic primitives from one or more third party computer aided drafting (CAD) programs to a vector based CAD graphics file; attaching attribute information to the one or more graphic primitives; grouping the one or more graphic primitives into a logical or hierarchical order; building object rendering data from the grouped one or more graphic primitives, the object rendering data describing real-world objects and being stored in the CAD graphics file; communicating the object rendering data to a dynamically updateable user interface (UI); updating the object rendering data according to changes in situational data associated with one or more real-world projects; and automatically updating the dynamically updateable UI according to the updated object rendering data. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
