Visualizing linear assets using client-side processing

A computer system, comprising:

• a processor;
• a memory device coupled to the processor;
• and
• a computer readable storage device coupled to the processor, wherein the storage device contains program code executable by the processor via the memory device to implement a method for visualizing a linear asset on a geospatial context, the method comprising:
• receiving, by a processor of a computing system, a plurality of metrics associated with a linear asset segment from an asset management system over a network, in response to a request by the computing system to the asset management system;
• calculating, by the processor, an intermediate point on the geospatial context using a geometric analytic tool that analyzes the plurality of metrics received from the asset management system;
• determining, by the processor, a geospatial length of the linear asset segment, using the intermediate point and at least one metric of the plurality of metrics;
• and
• displaying, by the processor, the linear asset segment of the linear asset on the geospatial context;
• wherein the computing system is a client device, performing the calculating, the determining, and the displaying without a call to a server servicing the client device.

A non-transitory computer program product, comprising a computer readable hardware storage device storing a computer readable program code, the computer readable program code comprising an algorithm that when executed by a computer processor of a computing system implements a method for visualizing a linear asset on a geospatial context, the method comprising:

• receiving, by a processor of a computing system, a plurality of metrics associated with a linear asset segment from an asset management system over a network, in response to a request by the computing system to the asset management system;
• calculating, by the processor, an intermediate point on the geospatial context using a geometric analytic tool that analyzes the plurality of metrics received from the asset management system;
• determining, by the processor, a geospatial length of the linear asset segment, using the intermediate point and at least one metric of the plurality of metrics;
• and
• displaying, by the processor, the linear asset segment of the linear asset on the geospatial context;
• wherein the computing system is a client device, performing the calculating, the determining, and the displaying without a call to a server servicing the client device.
