Method and system for integrating spatial analysis, and scheduling to efficiently schedule and monitor infrastructure maintenance

A computer program product in a computer readable medium for predicting locations of infrastructural elements that are likely to require maintenance, comprising:

• first instructions for recording location information of infrastructure repairs within the region;
• second instructions for recording characteristic data associated with characteristics of the infrastructure repairs;
• and
• third instructions for identifying infrastructure elements that are likely to require maintenance based on the location information and the characteristic data.

An apparatus for predicting locations of infrastructural elements that are likely to require maintenance, comprising:

• first storage means for storing location information of infrastructure repairs within the region;
• second storage means for storing characteristic data associated with characteristics of the infrastructure repairs;
• and
• a processor coupled to the first storage means and the second storage means, that identifies infrastructure elements that are likely to require maintenance based on the location information in the first storage means and the characteristic data in the second storage means.
