Workflow Narrative

Utility Corridor Access Planning

Who It Is For

  • Utility corridor maintenance planners and linear-infrastructure field operations teams.
  • Vegetation/encroachment risk analysts coordinating access logistics.

Primary User

Transmission/distribution utilities and corridor maintenance operations.

What It Does

  • Identifies encroachment hotspots that fall within a configurable corridor influence distance.
  • Scores hotspot risk based on proximity to corridor centerlines.
  • Assigns nearest access points for field-response feasibility.
  • Produces ranked hotspot CSV plus planning summary JSON for operations teams.
  • Adds dispatch-ready priority bands, SLA guidance, and optional response queue export.

How It Works

  • Loads corridor line geometry, encroachment observations, and access points.
  • Converts corridor geometry to line segments and computes minimum point-to-segment distance for each encroachment.
  • Keeps in-range encroachments as hotspots using corridor_influence_distance threshold.
  • Computes risk score as inverse-distance to corridor (closer = higher risk).
  • Computes access score from nearest access-point distance and combines with risk into priority score.
  • Classifies each hotspot into critical, high, medium, or low response bands and assigns response SLA hours.
  • Emits hotspot vector with attributes: ENC_FID, DIST_CORR, RISK_SCORE, ACCESS_FID, ACCESS_DIST, PRIORITY, PRIOR_BAND, SLA_HOURS, ACCESS_DIFF.

Parcel And Land Fabric Topology Compliance Workflow

Workflow Narrative

Parcel Fabric Topology Compliance

Who It Is For

  • Local government cadastral teams and parcel QA workflows.
  • Land administration vendors with regulatory topology compliance requirements.

Primary User

Municipal cadastral programs and land administration platforms.

What It Does

  • Audits parcel fabrics for topology compliance using rule-based checks.
  • Flags parcel slivers below a configurable minimum area threshold.
  • Produces violations vector, issues CSV, and a compliance summary JSON.
  • Optionally runs topology auto-fix and outputs corrected parcel geometry.
  • Supports jurisdiction templates (generic, ontario_mpac) for calibrated defaults.
  • Optionally emits a remediation queue CSV with prioritized corrective actions.
  • Emits sliver-threshold calibration diagnostics so parcel fabrics can be profiled before tightening production thresholds.

How It Works

  • Runs topology_validation_report to produce per-feature topology issue CSV.
  • Runs topology_rule_validate with parcel-focused rules (polygon_must_not_overlap, polygon_must_not_have_gaps).
  • Performs additional sliver detection on polygon area (area ParameterTypeRequiredDescription parcelsPolygonVector pathRequiredInput parcel polygon layer min_sliver_areafloatOptionalArea threshold for sliver detection (default 1.0) auto_fixboolOptionalRun topology auto-fix and emit corrected output (default false) jurisdiction_templatestringOptionalRule-template preset (generic|ontario_mpac) used for calibrated defaults topology_violationsvector pathRequiredOutput topology violations layer issues_csvpathRequiredOutput topology validation CSV compliance_reportpathRequiredOutput compliance summary JSON corrected_parcelsvector pathOptionalOptional corrected parcel output path when auto_fix=true remediation_queue_csvpathOptionalOptional prioritized remediation action queue CSV html_report`pathOptionalOptional output HTML path for the compliance dashboard report
