Pathway management using model analysis and forecasting
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method for pathway management, the method comprising:
- a computer generating a three dimensional map of a pathway area using a plurality of overhead images;
the computer determining a forecasted weather pattern to occur in the pathway, based on, at least in part, previous weather patterns for the pathway area;
the computer analyzing the three dimensional map and the forecasted weather pattern to determine an object, a state of the object, and an event that are likely to cause a violation of the pathway area if the forecasted weather pattern occurs;
the computer generating a priority for one or more likely violations of the pathway; and
the computer generating a plan for pathway management of the pathway area based, at least in part, on the priority for the one or more likely violations of the pathway, wherein the plan guides maintenance activity that reduces a likelihood of occurrence of the violation of the pathway by the object prior to an occurrence of the forecasted weather pattern.

Abstract
A computer generates a three dimensional map of a pathway area using a plurality of overhead images. The computer determines a forecasted weather pattern to occur in the pathway area. The computer analyzes the three dimensional map and the forecasted weather pattern to predict one or more violations of the pathway. The computer generates a priority for the one or more predicted violations of the pathway. The computer generates a plan for pathway management of the pathway area.
