Abstract

In certain embodiments, a selection of a first point and a second point within an infrastructure may be obtained via a user interface. A plurality of pathways, including a plurality of cable trays, between the first point and the second point may be determined. A first set of cable trays, having weights that do not exceed weight thresholds, may be identified. Images of the first set of cable trays may be obtained from a plurality of image sensors within the infrastructure. Fullness levels of the first set of cable trays may be determined based on the images. A second set of cable trays, having fullness levels that do not exceed fullness thresholds, may be identified from the first set of cable trays. One or more recommended pathways between the first point and the second point may be determined based on the identified second set of cable trays.

Dependent claims

A system comprising:

a computer system comprising one or more processors programmed with computer program instructions that, when executed, cause operations comprising:
obtaining, via a user interface, a selection of two points within an infrastructure;
identifying pathways between the two points, the pathways including a plurality of structures;
obtaining, from sensors coupled to the plurality of structures, weights associated with the plurality of structures and cable compositions associated with the plurality of structures;
identifying, based on one or more weight thresholds and one or more cable composition criteria, a set of structures from the plurality of structures, such that corresponding weights of the set of structures do not exceed the one or more weight thresholds and corresponding cable compositions of the set of structures satisfy the one or more cable composition criteria;
determining one or more pathways between the two points based on the identified set of structures;
and
causing presentation of one or more visual indications for the one or more pathways.
