Patent number: 9633258Abstract: An approach that detects locations of hazardous conditions within an infrastructure is provided. This approach uses satellite imagery, GIS data, automatic image processing, and predictive modeling to determine the location of the hazards automatically, thus optimizing infrastructure management. Specifically, a hazard detection tool provides this capability. The hazard detection tool comprises a detection component configured to: receive visual media containing asset location data about a set of physical assets, and hazard location data about potential hazards within a vicinity of each of the set of physical assets. The detection component further receives graphical information system (GIS) data containing asset location data about each of the set of physical assets.Type: GrantFiled: May 4, 2015Date of Patent: April 25, 2017Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: James R. Culp, Frank D. Fenhagen, IV, Arun Hampapur, Xuan Liu, Sharathchandra U. Pankanti

Patent number: 9311615Abstract: An approach for infrastructure asset management is provided. This approach comprises an end-to-end analytics driven maintenance approach that can take data about physical assets and additional external data, and apply advanced analytics to the data to generate business insight, foresight and planning information. Specifically, this approach uses a maintenance analysis tool, which is configured to: receive data about a set of physical assets of an infrastructure, and analyze the data about the set of physical assets to predict maintenance requirements for each of the set of physical assets. The maintenance analysis tool further comprises an output component configured to generate a maintenance plan based on the predicted maintenance requirements for each of the set of physical assets.Type: GrantFiled: January 3, 2011Date of Patent: April 12, 2016Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Andrew J. Davenport, Wei Shan Dong, Frank D. Fenhagen, IV, Arun Hampapur, Zhong Bo Jiang, Jayant R. Kalagnanam, Hongfei Li, Shilpa N. Mahatma, Wei Sun, Lexing Xie
