Perrone Robotics’ MAX&

Fair Isaac’s Blaze Advisor™

2006 JavaOneSM Conference| 2

● RDDF File● Defines latitude/longitude waypoints● Defines track width/boundaries● Defines maximum track speeds

● Geo Data● USGS elevation information● USGS feature info (roads, water, etc)

Route planning inputs

Blaze Advisor™ business rules management system and Tommy in the 2005 DGC

2006 JavaOneSM Conference| 3

● Import RDDF data● Step through RDDF defined route● Parse USGS map data● Refine route plan

● Add finer-grained intermediate waypoints● Optimum routes considering elevation● Deviate from map-identified ‘obstacles/hazards’● Gravitate toward map-identified ‘passages’● Lower max speeds as needed

Execute Blaze Advisor Rules
