AGTM airborne surveillance
First Claim
1. A system for managing ground transportation in a geographic area, comprising:
- a graphical information systems (GIS) database storing data that represents the geographic area, the GIS database including at least one node representing at least one location within the geographic area;
an emergency responder route calculator to determine a first transportation route for an emergency responder during an event based on at least data from the GIS database or information from an airborne surveillance platform;
an evacuation route calculator to determine a second transportation route for an evacuee based on at least data from the GIS database or the information from the airborne surveillance platform; and
a preventer to restrict the second transportation route determined for the evacuee from including the first transportation route determined for the emergency responder during the event.

Abstract
Systems, methods and apparatuses for managing ground transportation in a geographical area are disclosed. A system for managing ground transportation in a geographical area in accordance with the present invention comprises at least one airborne surveillance platform, a graphical information systems (GIS) database, receiving information from the airborne surveillance platform, the GIS database storing data that represents the geographical area, the GIS database including at least one node representing at least one geographical location within the geographic area and at least one arc representing at least one street within the geographic area, and a routing tool, coupled to the GIS database, wherein the dynamic routing tool accepts data from the GIS database and determines a transportation route for at least one vehicle within the geographical area using at least the data from the GIS database and the information from the airborne surveillance platform.

3. A tangible machine readable storage medium comprising instructions that, when executed, cause a machine to:
-
store, in a graphical information systems (GIS) database, information associated with a geographic area and at least one node representing at least one location within the geographic area; generate a first transportation route for a first evacuee within the geographic area based on at least data from the GIS database or real-time information from an airborne surveillance platform; generate a second transportation route for an emergency responder based on at least data from the GIS database or real-time information from the airborne surveillance platform; and prevent the first transportation route for the first evacuee from overlapping with the second transportation route during an event. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18)

14. A method, comprising:
-
storing, in a graphical information systems (GIS) database, information associated with a geographic area and at least one node representing at least one location within the geographic area; generating a first transportation route for emergency personnel during an event based on at least data from the GIS database or real-time information from an airborne surveillance platform; and preventing evacuees from using the first transportation route during the event by generating a second transportation route for the evacuees that excludes the first transportation route, wherein the second transportation route is based on at least data from the GIS database or real-time information from the airborne surveillance platform. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16)
