3D Route Visualization for Obstacles and Risk Context
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional two-dimensional representations of routes often result in the loss of important location and route information, making it difficult to visualize and understand the context and potential risks or obstacles along the route.
Innovation Solution
A computing system that obtains tridimensional location and route information to generate a three-dimensional view of the route, incorporating geographic, risk, and environmental characteristics, enabling a user to interact with and modify the route through immersive graphical applications.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Device complexity
If a two-dimensional representation of the route is used, then the representation is simple and easy to display, but important location and route information is lost
Solution Approach 1:
The patent transitions from two-dimensional route representations to three-dimensional representations that incorporate elevation data, building heights, and spatial context. This dimensional change allows the system to preserve critical information about terrain variability, vertical obstacles, and spatial relationships that are completely lost in 2D maps, directly resolving the contradiction between simplicity and information completeness
2Ease of operation
If a two-dimensional representation of the route is used, then the display is straightforward, but it is difficult to visualize context and potential risks or obstacles
Solution Approach 1:
By adding the vertical dimension to route representation, the system can display elevation changes, building heights, and terrain features that create obstacles or safety risks. This third dimension provides intuitive visual context for assessing route safety without complicating the user interface, as the additional information is presented through natural spatial perception rather than complex data overlays

AI summary
Systems, methods, and non-transitory computer readable media configured to provide three-dimensional representations of routes. Locations for a planned movement may be obtained. The location information may include tridimensional information of a location. Route information for the planned movement may be obtained. The route information may define a route of one or more entities within the location. A three-dimensional view of the route within the location may be determined based on the location information and the route information. An interface through which the three-dimensional view of the route within the location is accessible may be provided.
