Patent number: 9280576Abstract: The invention generally relates to enabling the management of survey data. One embodiment includes providing an upload description that describes characteristics of survey data to be uploaded, assigning a thread to process a group of files that store aspects of the survey data, dividing the file into data chunks, deriving from a given data chunk a corresponding data-integrity value and respectively associating the same with the given data chunk, communicating the data chunks to a remote storage device, utilizing the corresponding data-integrity values to ensure successful communication of the data chunk, and spatially storing the survey data such that it is retrievable upon a request that describes a geographic area of interest.Type: GrantFiled: March 13, 2013Date of Patent: March 8, 2016Assignee: HNTB HOLDINGS LTD.Inventors: Brian William Trotta, Paul James DiGiacobbe, Todd Dennis Rothermel, Tommy Allen Stehle, Timothy Faye Howerton, Christopher Michael Siebern, Adam Wesley Horn

Publication number: 20130304367Abstract: Travel-demand forecasting methods are described for predicting traffic volume based, at least in part, on user-entered data in the form of anticipated traffic routes, demographic data and/or other types of socioeconomic data. This data can source a prediction algorithm or be used to forecast traffic patterns. Methods and systems are described for, among other things, optimizing traffic predictions, forecasting traffic patterns using user-assigned trip patterns, associating rich attribute information to navigation routes, exposing personal-logistic information to a group, communicating traffic-situation-generated alerts based on user information, optimizing a presentation of user-defined traffic routes, and presenting location indications based on proximity (temporal or geographical).Type: ApplicationFiled: July 19, 2013Publication date: November 14, 2013Inventors: TOMMY ALLEN STEHLE, TERRENCE MATTHEW PALLOTTO, MICHAEL RICHARD OSTROM, CHRISTOPHER JAMES SIMON
