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.
