MONITORING ELEMENTS OF INFRASTRUCTURE THROUGH GEO-CLUSTERING Russian patent published in 2020 - IPC B61L27/00 

FIELD: transportation; data processing.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to transport network infrastructure monitoring means. In method, vehicles generate messages on their actual operating mode, messages are transmitted to stationary data processing device, said messages are related to indication of moment of time and location of onset of said operating mode, and messages received by a stationary data processing device are stored in a database and processed. At that stages are performed, at which: reading, from a database, messages related to at least one determined operating mode for a given period of time; determining limited regions with frequent cases of said defined operating mode by means of a predetermined algorithm; detecting infrastructure objects in said areas with frequent cases of said defined operating mode as possible cause of said determined operating mode of vehicles and displaying information on objects of infrastructure identified as possible cause of said determined operating mode of vehicles.

EFFECT: higher technical availability of vehicles and road network.
