A user interface facilitates assessing security risks for linear corridors. The interface includes a navigation window presenting geospatial data for an area associated with a corridor. The interface also includes a navigation tool having a corridor indicator that provides a diagrammatic linear representation of the linear corridor, indicia along the corridor indicator that represent critical assets, and a corridor window superimposed on the corridor indicator that slides linearly along the corridor indicator. The portion of the corridor displayed in the interface corresponds to a location of the corridor window on the corridor indicator. The interface also includes an attributes area presenting information associated with the area presented in the navigation window. At least one of the navigation window and the attributes area is configured to present risk assessment information associated with the linear corridor.

Methods and systems for assessing security risks

A computer-readable media for performing a method for displaying information in an engineering drawing. Labels are connected to objects in an engineering drawing. The connections are governed by relationships based on calculations simulating particle interactions and collision avoidance. A change in the position of a first label or of the engineering drawing is indicated. A new location of a second label is calculated such that the relationships between the second label and the engineering drawing and between the first and second labels are maintained, and the second label does not overlap other labels or objects in the engineering drawing. The movement of the second label to the new location may be animated.

Positioning labels in an engineering drawing

Embodiments of the invention are generally directed toward methods, systems, and computer-readable media for prioritizing bridge repairs using a risk-based analysis. An overall risk factor is generated for each of a plurality of bridges. The overall risk factor represents the probability of failure times the consequence on failure for the bridge. Repairs to bridges that pose a greater risk may be prioritized before repairs made to bridges posing a lower risk.

Prioritizing bridges to repair based on risk

Systems, methods, and computer-storage media of the present invention facilitate the management of assets of an engineered system. These management activities enable a user to understand various conditions surrounding identified system assets and provide tools for guiding decision making in terms of how prioritize projects for such assets. A user interface is also provided to display geospatially associated information relating to a selected portion of a system asset.

User interface for engineered systems asset analysis

The assessment of security risks associated with linear corridors, such as transportation corridors and utilities corridors, is provided. Initially, a site is selected for evaluation. Survey data and context sensitive information, such as demographic information, environmental information, corridor asset information, and the like, is collected for the site. Linear corridors are identified within the data, and critical assets within each linear corridor are also identified. Security risks associated with linear corridors may then be assessed using the survey data and context sensitive information. In addition, mitigation strategies, response strategies, and recovery strategies may be developed for the security risks assessed for the linear corridors.

The identification of safe havens for hazardous material transports is provided. Safe havens include locations at which a hazardous material transport is less susceptible to an event that may result in a hazardous material release and/or a location at which the impact of a hazardous material release is reduced. When an event occurs indicating that hazardous material transports should be moved to safe havens, the locations of hazardous material transports are determined. Safe havens may then be determined for each hazardous material transport. In some cases, safe havens may be selected from a group of predetermined locations designated as safe havens. In some cases, locations may be dynamically designated as safe havens for hazardous material transports after the occurrence of an event. The hazardous material transports are then moved to the selected safe havens, thereby reducing their susceptibility to events and/or minimizing the impact of an event that involves a hazardous material transport.

Methods and systems for identifying safe havens for hazardous transports

Systems, methods, and computer-storage media are provided that allow data from different sources and aspects of bridge design and construction to be merged into a common bridge information model. The bridge information model may include geometric, structural, survey, and construction information associated with a bridge-development project. The bridge information model may be stored as data objects in a relational data structure. Each data object may represent a bridge structure element and include metadata and attributes describing the bridge structure element.

Bridge information modeling

Integrated computing systems and methods for applying sub-surface material location and composition information to engineering plans for designing, highways and other roadways, are provided. Utilizing the described systems and methods, surfaces, highways, may be more efficiently designed in a timely fashion, requiring less format conversion for inputs and outputs to be compatible throughout the design process. Additionally, adjustments for changes in alignments for the desired surfaces are more easily taken into account than in conventional design systems, permitting quicker design corrections and more accurate results.

Generating digital terrain models representing sub-surface strata

Developing from a drawing an information-presenting interface that includes one or more display objects having variable display characteristics is provided for by receiving information from a graphics file that describes the drawing; identifying object data from the information; using the object data to render a set of definable objects that are situated to resemble the drawing; and wherein the definable objects can be associated with attributes such that the attributes can be used to present the display objects, and the display characteristics of the display objects, which the display objects correspond to the definable objects, can vary according to received situational input.

Geometry creation tool

Methods for implementing a training facility, e.g., a military or law enforcement training facility, for a geographic location having at least one proposed observer position, e.g., a firing position, and at least one proposed target position are provided. In one embodiment, the method includes receiving design data (for instance, a digital terrain model) indicative of the geographic location, receiving data indicative of the proposed observer position and the proposed target position, applying the data indicative of the proposed observer position and the proposed target position to the design data creating modified design data, and conducting a line-of-sight analysis of the modified design data between the proposed observer position and the proposed target position.
