Abstract
Mobile objects and resources are managed by a system including a mobile object server operable to receive information from a plurality of mobile objects in a geographic space, and an event server in communication with the mobile object server. The event server is operable to receive, from the mobile object server, resource utilization information indicating a resource in the geographic space that each mobile object is scheduled to use, calculate a state of use of the resource based on a predicted arrival time of each mobile object at the resource, and send a recommendation for relaxing congestion of the resource.

21. A computer system for managing mobile objects, the computer system comprising:
a processor, a computer-readable tangible storage device, and program instructions stored on the storage device for execution by the processor, the program instructions comprising; receiving mobile object information from a plurality of mobile objects in a geographic space, wherein the information comprises location and direction of movement of each of the plurality of mobile objects; determining utilization of a geographic resource in the geographic space based on the mobile object information from the plurality of mobile objects; determining a first mobile object from the plurality of mobile objects will use the geographic resource based first mobile object information received from the first mobile object; determining an alternative resource for the first mobile object based on a first mobile object destination and the first mobile object information, wherein the alternative resource is a replacement for the geographic resource; transmitting an alternative route for the alternative resource to the first mobile object; determining that a current route of the first mobile object does not match the alternative route; based on determining the current route and the alternative route do not match, determining a second mobile object as an alternative mobile object, wherein the second mobile object is determined based on; a route of the second mobile object is the same as the route of the first mobile object and the second mobile object; a distance between the first mobile object and the second mobile object is below a threshold distance; a direction of movement of the second mobile object is the same as the direction of the first mobile object; and transmitting the alternative route for the alternative resource to the second mobile objects. - View Dependent Claims (22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28)

29. A computer-implemented method for managing mobile objects, the method comprising:
a processor, a computer-readable tangible storage device, and program instructions stored on the storage device for execution by the processor, the program instructions comprising; receiving mobile object information from a plurality of mobile objects in a geographic space, wherein the information comprises location and direction of movement of each of the plurality of mobile objects; determining utilization of a geographic resource in the geographic space based on the mobile object information from the plurality of mobile objects; determining a first mobile object from the plurality of mobile objects will use the geographic resource based first mobile object information received from the first mobile object; determining an alternative resource for the first mobile object based on a first mobile object destination and the first mobile object information, wherein the alternative resource is a replacement for the geographic resource; transmitting an alternative route for the alternative resource to the first mobile object; determining that a current route of the first mobile object does not match the alternative route; based on determining the current route and the alternative route do not match, determining a second mobile object as an alternative mobile object, wherein the second mobile object is determined based on; a route of the second mobile object is the same as the route of the first mobile object and the second mobile object; a distance between the first mobile object and the second mobile object is below a threshold distance; a direction of movement of the second mobile object is the same as the direction of the first mobile object; and transmitting the alternative route for the alternative resource to the second mobile objects. - View Dependent Claims (30, 31, 32, 33, 34)

35. A computer program product for managing mobile objects, the method comprising:
one or more computer-readable storage devices and program instructions stored on at least one of the one or more tangible storage devices, the program instructions comprising receiving mobile object information from a plurality of mobile objects in a geographic space, wherein the information comprises location and direction of movement of each of the plurality of mobile objects; determining utilization of a geographic resource in the geographic space based on the mobile object information from the plurality of mobile objects; determining a first mobile object from the plurality of mobile objects will use the geographic resource based first mobile object information received from the first mobile object; determining an alternative resource for the first mobile object based on a first mobile object destination and the first mobile object information, wherein the alternative resource is a replacement for the geographic resource; transmitting an alternative route for the alternative resource to the first mobile object; determining that a current route of the first mobile object does not match the alternative route; based on determining the current route and the alternative route do not match, determining a second mobile object as an alternative mobile object, wherein the second mobile object is determined based on; a route of the second mobile object is the same as the route of the first mobile object and the second mobile object; a distance between the first mobile object and the second mobile object is below a threshold distance; a direction of movement of the second mobile object is the same as the direction of the first mobile object; and transmitting the alternative route for the alternative resource to the second mobile objects. - View Dependent Claims (36, 37, 38, 39, 40)
