Graphical representation of taxiway status
A computing device is provided comprising a processor and a memory storing instructions executable by the processor. The instructions are executable to query a database of aviation information extracted from one or more aviation information notices for information regarding a status of an airport. One or more query results are received indicating a status of a taxiway of the airport. The one or more query results are used to generate a map of the airport depicting the taxiway with a graphical representation that indicates the status of the taxiway.
1. A computing device, comprising:
a processor; and
a memory storing instructions executable by the processor to:
query a database of aviation information extracted from one or more aviation information notices for information regarding a status of an airport;
receive one or more query results indicating a status of a taxiway of the airport; and
use the one or more query results to generate a map of the airport depicting the taxiway with a graphical representation that indicates the status of the taxiway;
determine that the taxiway comprises one or more of a turn or another taxiway element;
based on determining that the taxiway comprises the turn, depict a centerline of the turn as having a centerline graphical representation, wherein the centerline graphical representation indicates that the turn is closed, and wherein the centerline graphical representation comprises a different graphical fill representation than the taxiway in the turn; and
based on determining that the taxiway comprises another taxiway element, depict the other taxiway element as having a graphical fill representation that indicates a status of the other taxiway element.
2. The computing device of claim 1 , wherein the status comprises a closure, and wherein the graphical representation represents at least a portion of the taxiway subject to the closure.
3. The computing device of claim 2 , wherein the status comprises a partial closure, and further comprising a different graphical representation that indicates a portion of the taxiway that is not closed.
4. The computing device of claim 1 , wherein the status comprises a conditional closure, and wherein the graphical representation comprises an indication of the conditional closure.
5. The computing device of claim 4 , wherein the indication of the conditional closure comprises an interactive control selectable to cause display of information on the conditional closure.
6. The computing device of claim 4 , wherein the graphical representation further comprises information on the conditional closure.
7. The computing device of claim 1 , wherein the graphical representation comprises one or more of a different color, a different opacity, or a different texture than another portion of the map.
8. Enacted on a computing device, a method for graphically depicting a status of a taxiway for an airport, the method comprising:
querying a database of aviation information for information regarding a status of an airport;
receiving one or more query results indicating a status of a taxiway of the airport; and
using the one or more query results to generate a map of the airport depicting the taxiway with a graphical representation that indicates the status of the taxiway;
determining that the taxiway comprises one or more of a turn or another taxiway element;
based on determining that the taxiway comprises the turn, depicting a centerline of the turn as having a centerline graphical representation, wherein the centerline graphical representation indicates that the turn is closed, and wherein the centerline graphical representation comprises a different graphical fill representation than the taxiway in the turn; and
based on determining that the taxiway comprises another taxiway element, depicting the other taxiway element as having a graphical fill representation that indicates a status of the other taxiway element.
9. The method of claim 8 , further comprising determining that the status comprises a closure, and wherein depicting the taxiway comprises representing at least a portion of the taxiway subject to the closure.
10. The method of claim 9 , wherein the status comprises a partial closure, and wherein generating the map further comprises depicting a portion of the taxiway that is not closed with a different graphical representation.
11. The method of claim 8 , further comprising determining that the status comprises a conditional closure, and wherein depicting the taxiway comprises providing an indication of the conditional closure.
12. The method of claim 11 , wherein providing the indication of the conditional closure comprises providing an interactive control selectable to cause display of information on the conditional closure.
13. The method of claim 11 , wherein providing the indication of the conditional closure further comprises depicting textual information on the conditional closure.
14. The method of claim 8 , wherein the graphical representation comprises one or more of a different color, a different opacity, or a different texture than another portion of the map.
15. A computing device, comprising:
a processor; and
a memory storing instructions executable by the processor to:
query a database of aviation information for information regarding a status of an airport;
receive one or more query results indicating a status of a taxiway of the airport;
use the one or more query results to generate a map of the airport depicting the taxiway with a graphical representation that indicates the status of the taxiway;
determine that the taxiway comprises one or more of a turn or another taxiway element;
based on determining that the taxiway comprises the turn, depict a centerline of the turn as having a centerline graphical representation, wherein the centerline graphical representation indicates that the turn is closed, and wherein the centerline graphical representation comprises a different graphical fill representation than the taxiway in the turn;
based on determining that the taxiway comprises another taxiway element, depict the other taxiway element as having a graphical fill representation that indicates a status of the other taxiway element;
determine that the status of the taxiway comprises a partial closure;
depict at least a portion of the taxiway that is closed with the graphical representation, wherein the graphical representation represents at least the portion of the taxiway subject to the closure; and
depict a portion of the taxiway that is not closed with a different graphical representation.
16. The computing device of claim 15 , wherein the status comprises a conditional closure, and wherein the graphical representation comprises an indication of the conditional closure.
17. The computing device of claim 16 , wherein the indication of the conditional closure comprises an interactive control selectable to cause display of information on the conditional closure.
18. The computing device of claim 16 , wherein the graphical representation further comprises information on the conditional closure.
19. The computing device of claim 15 , wherein the graphical representation comprises one or more of a different color, a different opacity, or a different texture than another portion of the map.
20. The computing device of claim 15 , wherein the taxiway is subject to a scheduled closure, and wherein the graphical representation indicates that the taxiway is subject to the scheduled closure.
