Provided is a system protecting privacy or the like of a land owner when providing an image taken by an unmanned flying object to the public (1) includes an unmanned aerial vehicle (10) and a computer (30). A control unit (14) in the unmanned aerial vehicle (10) executes an image acquisition module (141) to acquire an aerial image including positional information. A control unit (32) in the computer (30) executes a region designation module (321) to set a region where viewing is to be restricted. The control unit (32) executes a condition setting module (332) to set conditions for canceling the viewing restriction and set the conditions in a viewing authorization database (332). The control unit (32) executes a provision module (323) to provide an aerial image which includes the region where viewing is restricted.

A media display assembly that includes a base assembly, including a base and a steel plate that forms a front surface of the base assembly and is removably affixed to the base, and wherein the base defines a set of resiliently deformable inwardly facing side surfaces. A cover, including a sheet having transparent display portion, is fit and held by tension between the resiliently deformable inwardly facing side surfaces. Finally, display media is interposed between the steel plate and the cover.

A comparative traffic data analytics framework and visualization tool utilizes multiple data processing functions to manipulate traffic information from a plurality of sources and enable users to configure comparative analyses in a dashboard-style format for arterial and intersection performance monitoring and management. The comparative visualization tool provides a plurality of user-configurable functions to view corridor travel and delay times, an animated map, overall network statistics, and intersection performance using a graphical user interface to guide decision-making processes for traffic management in an arterial transportation network.

A non-transitory computer readable recording medium has stored therein a program that causes a computer to execute a process including displaying a screen on which it is possible to set an area affected by a characteristic of a road around a specific facility, which is the area set based on the facility; and displaying, on a graphic, information specifying a section of road that is contained in the area affected by the characteristic relating to the specific facility on the displayed screen and that is affected by a possible selected type of repair work on the road according to the fact that the section belongs to the affected area.

A three-dimensional map is displayed over the whole display area with a relatively light load using a detailed model database including feature data with a higher accuracy of details and a simple model database including feature data with a lower accuracy of details. A first range is set within a predetermined distance from a view point in a line-of-sight direction as a detailed model drawing range in which a detailed three-dimensional map is drawn using the detailed model. A second range in which a simple three-dimensional map is drawn using the simple model is set to include a range where the detailed three-dimensional map is not drawn. The detailed three-dimensional map and the simple three-dimensional map are both displayed by superimposing the detailed three-dimensional map in front of the simple three-dimensional map.

The present invention is directed to systems and methods for objectively assessing mission readiness. The systems can comprise a backend system and scenario server in communication with the backend system. The backend system can comprise a planning and analysis system comprising planning and/or assessing data for one or more training missions, a common database builder comprising geographical data of a geographical region for the training mission, and a digital media replicator comprising a social media module configured to receive publically accessible data relevant to the training mission from one or more social media platforms. The scenario server is configured to receive data from each of the planning and analysis system, common database builder, and digital media replication to create the training mission. Methods in accordance with such systems are disclosed herein.

Disclosed is a feature for a vehicle that enables taking precautionary actions in response to conditions on the road network around or ahead of the vehicle, in particular, a blind intersection along a section of road. A database that represents the road network is used to determine locations where a blind intersection is located along a section of road. Then, precautionary action data is added to the database to indicate a location at which a precautionary action is to be taken about the blind intersection located along the section of road. A precautionary action system installed in a vehicle uses this database, or a database derived therefrom, in combination with a positioning system to determine when the vehicle is at a location that corresponds to the location of a precautionary action. When the vehicle is at such a location, a precautionary action is taken by a vehicle system as the vehicle is approaching a blind intersection.
