Abstract
A predictive real time and prospective environmental analysis and display system accessible by one or more client computing devices through a network to depict on the display surface of a computing device a graphical representation of a geographic environment which can be delimited into one or more two or three-dimensional zones in which visual indicators provide predicted current or prospective airflow speed or direction values associated with the geographic environment.
Claims20
A system, comprising:
- a database containing fluid flow data associated with a spatially referenced three-dimensional model of a geographic environment;
- a processor communicatively coupled to a non-transitory computer readable media containing a computer program executable by said processor, said computer program including:
- a zone generation module which functions to delimit one or more two or three-dimensional zones within a graphical representation of said geographic environment by user indications in a graphical user interface displayed on a display surface of a computing device;
- an airflow direction or speed data receiving module which functions to receive forecast direction or speed data from one or more forecasting stations;
- an airflow direction or speed data validation module which functions to validate accuracy of airflow direction or speed data received from said one or more forecasting stations device based on pre-assessed accuracy of correlating said airflow direction or speed data received from said one or more forecastine stations with said fluid flow data associated with each of a plurality of location coordinates in said spatially referenced three-dimensional model of said geographic environment;
- an airflow direction or speed data correlation module which functions to correlate said forecast airflow direction or speed data with said fluid flow data associated with each of said plurality of location coordinates in said spatially referenced three-dimensional model of said geographic environment;
- an airflow direction or speed value calculator module which functions based on correlation of said forecast airflow direction or speed data with said fluid flow data associated with said spatially referenced three-dimensional model of a geographic environment to calculate airflow direction or speed values at each of said plurality of location coordinates in said three-dimensional model;
- an airflow direction and speed prediction module which functions to forecast said airflow direction or speed occurring in each of said one or more two or three-dimensional zones within said geographic environment based on said airflow direction or speed values calculated at each of said plurality of location coordinates in said spatially referenced three-dimensional model of a geographic environment;
- and
- an airflow speed or direction indicator module which functions to depict in said graphical user interface visual indicators of said airflow speed or direction occurring in said two or three-dimensional zones delimited in said graphical representation of said geographic environment.
