Pattern analysis for schedule optimization

A computer program product comprising one or more computer readable storage media, and program instructions collectively stored on the one or more computer readable storage media, the program instructions executable by a processor to cause the processor to perform operations comprising:

• generating a first preliminary schedule for a first worker assigned a first task;
• generating a second preliminary schedule for a second worker assigned a second task;
• detecting a first block of time that is part of the first preliminary schedule and the second preliminary schedule;
• generating a first location prediction for the first worker during the first block of time;
• generating a second location prediction for the second worker during the first block of time;
• calculating a distance between the first worker and the second worker based on the first location prediction and the second location prediction;
• revising, responsive to determining that the distance is less than a threshold value, the second preliminary schedule to replace the first block of time with a second block of time that is not part of the first preliminary schedule;
• generating an access control list that includes the first preliminary schedule as a first access schedule for the first worker;
• and
• responding to an access query regarding the first worker by referring to the first access control list and determining whether the first access schedule includes a time associated with the access query.
