  • Patent number: 6496814
    Abstract: A method and system for integrating spatial analysis, data mining analysis, and scheduling to efficiently schedule and monitor infrastructure maintenance is provided. The physical locations within a region of infrastructure repairs are identified and data values for characteristics of the infrastructure repairs are compiled and stored. Data mining algorithms are used to generate input data for the formulation of a set of spatial relationships. The locations of the infrastructure repairs within the region are associated with the locations of other infrastructure elements to form a set of spatial relationships. Spatial analysis techniques are used to provide understanding of this set of spatial relationships and how they relate to the location of infrastructure elements that are likely to require maintenance.
