Patent number: 10614255Abstract: A computer-implemented land planning system is designed to generate at least one conceptual fit solution to a user-defined land development problem. The system employs a computer readable medium and a computer program encoded on the medium. The computer program is operable, when executed on a computer, for electronically creating at least one candidate solution to the land development problem. The candidate solution incorporates a plurality of engineering measurements applicable in development of an undeveloped land site. Existing GIS data is collected for the selected undeveloped land site. A fitness function quantitatively evaluates the candidate solution based on its cost. A heuristic problem-solving strategy manipulates the engineering measurements of the candidate solution to achieve a more quantitatively fit solution to the land development problem. Documentation illustrating the fit solution to the land development problem is delivered to the user.Type: GrantFiled: August 1, 2017Date of Patent: April 7, 2020Assignee: Bentley Systems, IncorporatedInventors: Michael W. Detwiler, James W. Reynolds, Jr., Anthony H. Watts, Ron Breukelaar, Thomas Baeck
