SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR PROVIDING A VEHICLE MOVEMENT PATH SIMULATION OVER A NETWORK
First Claim
1. A system for providing a simulation of a vehicle movement plan over a network, comprising:
- one or more data sources containing data selected from a group consisting of weather data, terrain data, movement plan data, navigation data and vehicle performance data; and
a server in communication with the one or more data sources, the server comprising a processor configured to receive a request for vehicle movement path simulation data from a client computing device, create the vehicle movement path simulation data from the selected data and to deliver the vehicle movement path simulation data to a client computing device via the network.

Abstract
Systems and methods are provided for rendering a vehicle movement path simulation over a network. The system comprises data sources including weather data, terrain data, navigation data and vehicle performance data. The system also comprises a client computing device configured to send a request for vehicle movement path simulation data, and a server in communication with the one or more data sources and the client computing device. The server comprises a processor configured to receive the request for vehicle movement path simulation data and deliver the vehicle movement path simulation data to the client computing device via the network. A method comprises determining a geographic position from the movement plan and retrieving data associated with the geographic position from the data sources. The method further comprises creating view volume data from the retrieved data and transmitting the view volume data over the network to a client computing device.

19. A method for obtaining a three dimensional movement plan simulation for a vehicle over a network by a client computing device, comprising:
-
determining a geographic position of the vehicle and an altitude of the vehicle from a pre-defined movement plan; requesting view volume data associated with the determined geographic position and the altitude of the vehicle from a server over a network; receiving view volume data associated with the geographic position from the server; and displaying a representation of the view volume data.
