Embodiments include apparatus and methods for route optimization in response to air flow for one or more wind section areas. The wind section areas may correspond to portions of an internal area of an intersection or an internal area of a pathway. The method include receiving weather data for a region including a geographic area corresponding to at least one path and accessing a 3D model for the geographic area corresponding to the at least one path. At least one air flow based on the weather data and the three-dimensional model is calculated to define wind sections in the geographic area corresponding to the at least one path. A weight is assigned to at least one of the of wind sections for route optimization in response to air flow through the wind sections.
