Abstract
Systems and methods are provided for predicting drawbridge operation based on incoming vessel information and historical drawbridge operation data, and transmitting the drawbridge operation prediction to a GPS system such as an autonomous vehicle or a mobile device application for rerouting a planned navigation route. A transceiver may receive vessel information, e.g., incoming vessel size, type, speed, position, or quantity, or estimated incoming vessel arrival time, from one or more cameras and/or a marine radio, and may receive historical drawbridge operation data based on the incoming vessel information from an online database such that the drawbridge operation prediction is based on the historical data.
