Abstract
A method includes a computing device receiving historical data for a portion of a road; the computing device receiving current data for road conditions using sensors; the computing device predicting future hazardous road conditions for the portion of the road using the received historical and current data; and the computing device scheduling road management actions for the portion of the road as a result of the predicted road conditions.
Claims20
A method comprising:
- a computing device receiving historical data for a portion of a road;
- the computing device receiving current data for road conditions using sensors;
- the computing device predicting future hazardous road conditions for the portion of the road using the received historical and current data;
- and
- the computing device scheduling road management actions for the portion of the road as a result of the predicted road conditions.
2 more elements
A system comprising:
- one or more processors, one or more computer-readable memories and one or more computer-readable, tangible storage devices;
- a receiving module operatively coupled to at least one of the one or more storage devices for execution by at least one of the one or more processors via at least one of the one or more memories, configured to receive historical data for a portion of a road;
- the receiving module operatively coupled to at least one of the one or more storage devices for execution by at least one of the one or more processors via at least one of the one or more memories, configured to receive current data for road conditions using sensors;
- a predicting module operatively coupled to at least one of the one or more storage devices for execution by at least one of the one or more processors via at least one of the one or more memories, configured to predict future hazardous road conditions for the portion of the road using the received historical and current data;
- and
- a scheduling module operatively coupled to at least one of the one or more storage devices for execution by at least one of the one or more processors via at least one of the one or more memories, configured to schedule road management actions for the portion of the road as a result of the predicted road conditions.
3 more elements
A computer program product comprising:
- one or more computer-readable, tangible storage medium;
- program instructions, stored on at least one of the one or more storage medium, to receive historical data for a portion of a road;
- program instructions, stored on at least one of the one or more storage medium, to receive current data for road conditions using sensors;
- program instructions, stored on at least one of the one or more storage medium, to predict future hazardous road conditions for the portion of the road using the received historical and current data;
- and
- program instructions, stored on at least one of the one or more storage medium, to schedule road management actions for the portion of the road as a result of the predicted road conditions.
