  • Publication number: 20190197640
    Abstract: Approaches presented herein enable predictive conflict identification in a safety response system. More specifically, a likely intersection location of two or more flocks of people is determined based on predicted travel vectors of the flocks. Information about attributes of the people in each of the flocks is obtained to determine whether a potential conflict exists between the intersecting flocks. These flock attributes are analyzed, with attributes indicative of a potential conflict between the flocks being assigned a greater weight than attributes not indicative of a potential conflict. Based on the analysis, a conflict factor score is assigned to the intersection of the flocks. A security authority is then selectively informed by a generated notification, in the case that it is determined that the conflict factor meets or exceeds a predetermined security threshold, of the predicted intersection of the flocks.

  • Patent number: 10295579
    Abstract: In an approach for estimating solar array power generation for an installation of a solar array, a processor determines a location of an installation of a solar array. A processor determines, over a course of a specified time interval, a path of traversal of a source of energy relative to the location of the installation of the solar array. A processor scans an area surrounding the solar array. A processor estimates, based, at least in part, on the path of traversal of the source of energy and the area surrounding the solar array, an amount of power to be generated by the solar array.

  • Publication number: 20190145787
    Abstract: A method, system and computer program product provide assessing environmental conditions outside an autonomous vehicle and recommending modifications for the autonomous vehicle based on a condition. A plurality of possible routes are determined for an autonomous vehicle using a navigational system. Environmental conditions are assessed, and one or more environmental conditions are identified outside the autonomous vehicle related to each of the plurality of possible routes. A determination is made as to when the one or more environmental conditions necessitate a modification of the autonomous vehicle for traveling the respective possible route. One of the possible routes are selected based on a criteria which includes avoiding a greatest number of the environmental conditions which necessitate the modification. The autonomous vehicle is routed along the selected route to a service station for implementing the modification based on the condition related to the selected route.

  • Patent number: 10218653
    Abstract: A set of characteristics is constructed corresponding to a content of a message. For a characteristic in the set of characteristics, a skill factor is computed that is needed to achieve a degree of comprehension of the content having the characteristic. A gap is computed between the skill factor corresponding to the characteristic and a skill factor associated with a recipient of the message. An annotation is selected in response to evaluating that the gap exceeds a tolerance value. The annotation is applied in the message to an identifier of the recipient.
