  • Publication number: 20240095626
    Abstract: A method for creating a spatio-temporal schedule includes receiving a set of available work crews and a set of workorders to be scheduled, sequencing the set of workorders, wherein each workorder of the set of workorders is associated with a geographic location, a start time and an end time, and iterating through the set of available work crews, assigning a plurality of workorders of the set of workorders fully allocating a current crew before selecting a next crew, until all work crews are fully allocated and/or all workorders are assigned, wherein the assignment of workorders for a given work crew generates a route comprising the plurality of workorders.

  • Publication number: 20140330747
    Abstract: Embodiments of the invention relate to asset lifecycle management. A method includes assessing a current health condition of a plurality of assets that are managed by a plurality of different entities. Predictive analytics are applied to determine a predicted future health condition of the assets. Prescription options for the assets are determined based on the current health condition and the predicted future health condition of the assets. Each prescription option specifies an asset, a timeframe, an expected cost, and an expected future health condition of the asset. Spatial and temporal analytics are performed to combine individual prescription options into a unified project. The unified project includes prescription options that specify assets that are managed by at least two of the entities. A timeframe to execute the unified project is determined based on financial constraints and spatial constraints. The unified project plan is output.

  • Publication number: 20140330600
    Abstract: Embodiments of the invention relate to a method for providing performance driven municipal asset needs and sustainability analysis. The method includes calculating asset health scores for a plurality of assets in an infrastructure. The asset health scores change as a function of time. The method also includes identifying prescription options for the assets. The identifying is based on the asset health scores. The prescription options include cost, value, and time for execution. A multi-objective optimization is applied based on the asset health scores and prescription options to identify at least a subset of the prescription options that may be implemented within a provided budget to maintain a sustainability threshold for an overall infrastructure health score.

  • Publication number: 20140330748
    Abstract: Embodiments relate to stochastic investment planning. One aspect includes receiving a plurality of constraints associated with projects to be performed by a plurality of agencies. The constraints are compared across the projects to identify projects having a spatial overlap and compatible project types. Two or more of the projects are combined based on compatibility of the projects having the spatial overlap. An optimization model is applied to the combined projects to produce an optimization parameter representing a critical attribute based on at least one uncertainty of the combined projects. The comparing, the combining, and the applying of the optimization model are iteratively repeated while varying a threshold for combining the projects until the optimization parameter is determined to be within an acceptable range.
