Systems and methods for predictive drawbridge operation for vehicle navigation

A method for predicting drawbridge operation, the method comprising:

• receiving, by a transceiver, data indicative of incoming vessel information;
• receiving, by a processor, historical drawbridge operation data based on the incoming vessel information;
• predicting, by the processor, drawbridge operation information based on the historical drawbridge operation data;
• and
• transmitting, by the transceiver, data indicative of the predicted drawbridge operation information to a GPS system, thereby causing the GPS system to route a planned navigation.

A system for predicting drawbridge operation, the system comprising:

• a transceiver configured to receive data indicative of incoming vessel information;
• a memory that stores computer-executable instructions;
• and
• a processor configured to access the memory and execute the computer-executable instructions to:
• receive historical drawbridge operation data based on the incoming vessel information;
• predict drawbridge operation information based on the historical drawbridge operation data;
• generate one or more routing suggestions based on the predicted drawbridge operation information;
• and
• cause the one or more routing suggestions to be transmitted to a GPS system.
