Abstract: Approaches presented herein enable gathering time-annotated web interaction and sensor data of web pages to extrapolate responses to a web page and generating an aggregated map indicative of those responses for improving web page user experience. Specifically, time-annotated web page interaction data from an actual web page user is captured and recorded. Also, time-annotated biometric data related to the user's web page interaction is captured and recorded using one or more biometric sensors. An emotional state of the user when viewing defined web page sections is determined based on the time-annotated physical interaction data and biometric data. The emotional states of users over a period of time are aggregated for each web page section to augment the web page sections.

Abstract: Approaches presented herein enable predictive conflict identification in a safety response system. More specifically, a likely intersection location of two or more flocks of people is determined based on predicted travel vectors of the flocks. Information about attributes of the people in each of the flocks is obtained to determine whether a potential conflict exists between the intersecting flocks. These flock attributes are analyzed, with attributes indicative of a potential conflict between the flocks being assigned a greater weight than attributes not indicative of a potential conflict. Based on the analysis, a conflict factor score is assigned to the intersection of the flocks. A security authority is then selectively informed by a generated notification, in the case that it is determined that the conflict factor meets or exceeds a predetermined security threshold, of the predicted intersection of the flocks.

Abstract: In an approach for estimating solar array power generation for an installation of a solar array, a processor determines a location of an installation of a solar array. A processor determines, over a course of a specified time interval, a path of traversal of a source of energy relative to the location of the installation of the solar array. A processor scans an area surrounding the solar array. A processor estimates, based, at least in part, on the path of traversal of the source of energy and the area surrounding the solar array, an amount of power to be generated by the solar array.

Abstract: A method, system and computer program product provide assessing environmental conditions outside an autonomous vehicle and recommending modifications for the autonomous vehicle based on a condition. A plurality of possible routes are determined for an autonomous vehicle using a navigational system. Environmental conditions are assessed, and one or more environmental conditions are identified outside the autonomous vehicle related to each of the plurality of possible routes. A determination is made as to when the one or more environmental conditions necessitate a modification of the autonomous vehicle for traveling the respective possible route. One of the possible routes are selected based on a criteria which includes avoiding a greatest number of the environmental conditions which necessitate the modification. The autonomous vehicle is routed along the selected route to a service station for implementing the modification based on the condition related to the selected route.

Abstract: Disclosed embodiments provide techniques for presenting a marketing notification for a missing member of a group. People often shop in groups, such as groups of family, friends, coworkers, and the like. Disclosed embodiments detect the presence of a group in a location such as a retail venue. In scenarios where at least one member of the group is absent at the location, the group members that are present at the location receive a marketing message pertaining to the missing member, such as a suggestion to purchase a gift for the missing member. In this way, disclosed embodiments provide marketing opportunities to influence shoppers by reminding them about their missing peer.

Abstract: Disclosed embodiments provide techniques for incorporating drive-through wait times into a route calculation. A user often wishes to stop by a drive-through facility on their way to a final destination such as home or work.
