Description

  The present invention relates to a system for personnel in charge of power supply business and the like to efficiently acquire power facility information.

  In the power supply business that supplies power (electricity) to customers, a large number of utility poles are installed in a predetermined area (compartment) at predetermined intervals, and distribution lines are installed on those utility poles. In addition to electric wires, various devices such as switches and transformers are installed, and electricity (electricity) is supplied to customers via electric wires and equipment such as branch lines, lead-in lines, and electricity meters.

  The power company conducts a visit survey to patrol all of these power facilities and to design repairs for defective parts, but the information obtained from the visit survey is stored as power facility information, It is succeeded to the next process. For example, when a defective part is found by patrol, information regarding the defect is stored together with the utility pole identification symbol and the urgency level, and the person in charge of the design performs the design based on the information. Furthermore, the design information is stored together with the utility pole identification symbol and the urgency level, and then the person in charge of the construction works based on that information. Here, the utility pole identification symbol is a utility pole number uniquely named for the utility pole, and the urgency level indicates whether immediate repair is required or whether it is okay for several years.

Such power equipment information possessed by electric power companies is always kept in large numbers because the equipment itself is enormous, and new information is generated one after another even if the equipment is continually improved. It is in.
In addition, the characteristics of such power equipment information are that the positions of utility poles are scattered over a wide area, and the urgency level is high, such as “things that must be done urgently”. It can be mentioned that it exists in a wide range from low to low. Therefore, the issue is how to conduct a visit survey efficiently through a short route while giving priority to the degree of urgency.

Conventionally, persons in charge of the power supply business etc. obtain such power equipment information and conduct a visit survey by the following method.
First, since the urgency level is given the highest priority in the visit survey, we start by obtaining highly urgent power facility information using the urgency level as a key. Then, a visit survey is conducted preferentially on the obtained power facility information with high urgency. This is because there is a possibility that a power failure or an electric shock may occur if the power facility information with a high degree of urgency is postponed.
Next, it is confirmed whether or not there is power facility information that is not so urgent on the route. If power facility information that is not so urgent on the route can be obtained in this way, such power facility information can be efficiently visited and surveyed because it does not require movement only for that purpose.

  However, at present, it takes much time and effort to obtain information on the power equipment on the route. First, since the utility pole identification symbol is obtained as a key, the relationship between the geography and the utility pole identification symbol must be investigated using materials etc. on which the utility pole identification symbol is written on a map. Next, even if the utility pole identification symbol of the utility pole on the route is known, it is necessary to check whether or not there is power facility information on the utility pole. In this case, the range of the utility pole identification symbol is designated, the presence / absence of power facility information is searched, and the corresponding one is extracted.

  In this way, it takes a lot of time and effort to obtain power equipment information, so in fact, for items that are not very urgent, only a few cases are examined within the scope that can be examined, and they are visited as they are. That is the situation. As a result, most of the power facility information that is not so urgent that is not visited will be visited alone at a later date, and will need to be moved only for that purpose. I will not.

In addition, when you visit an unplanned area, you may want to know information about the power equipment on the return route. This is because if you know such power facility information, you can conduct a visit survey on your return trip. Alternatively, there may be a case where the person in charge of the design wants to perform patrol work on the way home from going far away where he rarely goes.
Thus, there is a case where it is desired to know the power equipment information on the return path. However, as mentioned above, it takes a lot of time and effort to obtain information on the power equipment on the route, so it is a fact that it is being conducted in a limited way, and a visit survey will be conducted later on alone. There were many.
