Problems Solved
1. Early detection of engineering work near utility poles or pylons can prevent potential accidents and disruptions in services. 2. This device provides a simple and efficient way to monitor the surroundings of utility poles or pylons without the need for manual inspections.
Benefits
1. Improved safety by detecting potential hazards near utility poles or pylons. 2. Increased efficiency in maintenance and repair work by identifying issues early on. 3. Cost-effective solution for monitoring engineering work in the vicinity of utility poles or pylons.
Potential Commercial Applications
Enhancing safety measures in telecommunications networks Improving maintenance practices in power distribution systems Streamlining infrastructure monitoring processes
Possible Prior Art
There may be existing technologies for monitoring vibrations in utility poles or pylons, but the combination of optical signal reception and vibration pattern analysis for detecting engineering work may be a novel approach.
Unanswered Questions
How does the device differentiate between normal vibrations and those indicating engineering work?
The device may use algorithms to analyze vibration patterns and distinguish between regular movements and those caused by engineering activities.
What is the range of the optical signal reception unit and how does it affect the accuracy of detecting engineering work?
The range of the unit may vary depending on the installation and environmental factors, which could impact the device's ability to detect engineering work accurately.
Original Abstract Submitted
The purpose of the present disclosure is to detect the occurrence of engineering work in the surroundings of a utility pole or a pylon using a simple configuration. This engineering work detection device comprises: an optical signal reception unit for receiving an optical signal from an optical fiber cable installed by a method of overhead installation via a utility pole or a pylon; and at least one memory configured to store instructions; and at least one processor configured to execute the instructions to detect, on the basis of a pattern of vibration of the utility pole or the pylon indicated by the optical signal, the occurrence of engineering work in the surroundings of the utility pole or the pylon.
