Embodiments of the disclosure include a method for journey planning including receiving a journey planning request, the journey planning request having an origin and a destination in a transportation network. The method also includes calculating an optimized journey plan by identifying a plurality of routes through the transportation network from the origin to the destination and determining an uncertainty associated with each of the plurality of routes. Calculating an optimized journey plan also includes evaluating a robustness of each of the plurality of routes to the uncertainty associated with each of the plurality of routes and selecting the optimized journey plan based on the journey planning request and the robustness of each of the plurality of routes.

A system to monitor vehicle accidents using a network of aerial based monitoring systems. terrestrial based monitoring systems and in-vehicle monitoring systems is described, Aerial vehicles used for this surveillance include manned and unmanned aircraft, satellites and lighter than air craft. Aerial vehicles can also be deployed from vehicles. The deployment is triggered by sensors registering a pattern in the data that is indicative of an accident that has happened or an accident about to happen.

This infrastructure is characterized in that the multimodal network grouping together a plurality of monomodal networks, each monomodal network being equipped with an individual operating system, the supervision infrastructure includes a plurality of local supervision modules, each local supervision module being associated with a transfer station providing an interconnection between at least two of the monomodal networks and being able to perform a real-time synthesis of the traffic at the associated transfer station and continuously execute a plurality of operating rules by using operating data from the traffic synthesis so as to generate at least one setpoint, and to send the setpoint to at least one operating system of one monomodal network from among the monomodal networks interconnected to the associated transfer station.

Flight based infrared imaging systems and related techniques, and in particular unmanned aerial system (UAS) based systems, are provided for aiding in operation and/or piloting of a mobile structure. Such systems and techniques may include determining environmental conditions around the mobile structure with the UAS detecting the presence of objects and/or persons around the mobile structure and/or determining the presence of other structures around the mobile structure. Instructions for the operation of such mobile structures may then be accordingly determined responsive to such data.

A processing system including at least one processor may obtain a navigational request for a dual-mode vehicle having two modes of operation, where the two modes of operation comprise a surface mode of operation and an aerial mode of operation, where the navigational request includes a requested transition between the two modes of operation, where the requested transition includes a requested location, and where the navigational request includes an intended destination. The processing system may next determine at least one condition of the requested location associated with the requested transition, determine based upon the at least one condition that the requested transition is not permitted at the requested location, and identify an alternate location at which the requested transition is permitted. The processing system may then transmit a response indicating that the requested transition is permitted at the alternate location.
