Publication number: 20180272540Abstract: A sanitation monitoring and control system and associated method are used to route sanitation resources, such as sanitation robots configured to sweep, vacuum, or empty trash receptacles, in a facility. The system includes a network of sensors disposed throughout the facility and configured to sense patrons within the facility. A sanitation monitoring and control server stores records of patron positions at different times determined using the network of sensors, determines numbers of patrons in different areas of the facility at the different times according to the patrons' determined positions, determines activities patrons are engaged in in the different areas at the different times, and calculates sanitations scores for the areas according to a weighted sum of the numbers of patrons engaging in the determined activities. A route for the sanitation resource is calculated based on the sanitation scores and is transmitted to the sanitation resource to provide sanitation services.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 24, 2017Publication date: September 27, 2018Inventors: John CRONIN, Jonathan T.

Publication number: 20180247270Abstract: Embodiments for monitoring ride conditions at theme parks in order to provide predictions when maintenance and/or expected downtime may occur. The monitored ride conditions are also used alongside information obtained from tracking patrons and predicted activity at the theme park in order to provide predictions for wait times at the various attractions. The predictions for maintenance and wait times can be displayed for the patrons. Furthermore, these predictions also provide the embodiments of the present application the ability to identify alternative attractions for situations where the predicted wait time for the attraction is too long. In this way, patrons may be able to schedule their trip at the theme park to take advantage of various attractions when the wait times are lower.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 27, 2018Publication date: August 30, 2018Inventors: John CRONIN, Michael Glynn D'ANDREA
