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.
Claims23
A system, comprising:
- a database containing fluid flow data associated with a spatially referenced three-dimensional model of a geographic environment;
- an airflow measurement device disposed at a geographic location which generates airflow direction or speed data capable of correlation with said fluid flow data associated with a plurality of location coordinates in said spatially referenced three-dimensional model to calculate corresponding airflow direction or speed values or derivatives at each of said plurality of location coordinates;
- a processor communicatively coupled to a non-transitory computer readable media containing a computer program including:
- a zone generator 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 receiver which functions to receive said an airflow direction or speed data generated by said airflow measurement device;
- an airflow direction or speed data correlator which functions to correlate said airflow direction or speed data generated by said airflow measurement device 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 which functions based on correlation of said airflow direction or speed data with said fluid flow data associated with said spatially referenced three-dimensional model of a geographic environment to calculate said airflow direction or speed values at each of said plurality of location coordinates in said three-dimensional model;
- an airflow direction and speed predictor which functions to predict 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 direction or speed data validator which functions to validate accuracy of airflow direction or speed data associated with said airflow measurement device based on pre-assessed accuracy of correlating said airflow direction or speed data generated by said airflow measurement device 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.
