Description

The invention relates to telecommunication networks, in particular to technology for the design, reconstruction and technical accounting of structures, equipment and routes of a telecommunication network.

Design and technical accounting of telecommunication network facilities is one of the routine and most labor-intensive work in the industry, the essence of which is the accumulation and integration of all information about linear structures, trunk and distribution lines for the period of their construction and operation: on overhauls and current repairs, on subscriber load, also about the composition and quantity of the whole variety of telecommunication equipment.

Methods of designing and technical accounting of communication network facilities are based on industry documents, corporate guidelines for designing, technical accounting and certification of structures, for example: Instructions for designing linear-cable communication facilities, approved. By order of the Ministry of Communications of the Russian Federation No. 168 of 07.15.93; Urban and rural telephone networks, NTP 112-2000, Ministry of the Russian Federation for Communications and Informatization, TsNTI "Informsvyaz", Moscow, 2000; GOST 21.1703-2000 “Conventional graphic symbols on diagrams and plans”, GOST 21.406-88 “System of design documentation for construction. Wired means of a single automated communication system. Graphical symbols on diagrams and plans ”,“ Guidelines for the technical accounting of equipment and certification of structures of hydraulic structures ”, USSR Ministry of Communications, M., 1979

According to the indicated documents, on a paper medium — the cartographic basis obtained by photocopying or scanning plan-maps or standard forms of passports, manually implement design decisions and technical accounting data for communication facilities, create diagrams, drawings and passports. Considering that all information is in constant dynamics, its constant updating is of great importance, which turns the process of creating, reconstructing and technical accounting of communication network elements into a costly and time-consuming process.

With the development of new information technologies, it became possible to partially or fully carry out such processes in an automated mode using electronic computing tools, for example, automating tabular calculations of project data and technical accounting in the form of alphanumeric data manually read from paper data carriers and on the ground . When entering a large amount of data into spreadsheets, for example, financial estimates, when manually entering or reading data from paper information carriers, there is a high probability of making errors. At the same time, a qualitative and quantitative analysis of the level of development and the state of structures without their visual presentation to confirm the table data in the preparation of reports or calculations is very complicated.

In the methods of computer-aided design of the contact network (DE 19519755 A1, IPC 6 G06F 17/5; RU 2172978, IPC 7 G06F 17/5 - prototype), the design process is less laborious when the data is structured according to the functional principle, integrated and included in data banks. Then, using software, they organize the exchange of data between all data banks, as well as between data banks and the designer. However, with regard to the volume of design and technical accounting of telecommunication network facilities of any scale, without linking data to their location, this method does not exhaust the possibility of minimizing the complexity.

The objective of the invention is to reduce the complexity of the design and technical accounting of telecommunication network facilities while increasing the information content and reliability of the project.

In contrast to the prototype method, including parametric data structuring, integration and transferring them to banks, the claimed method is solved by the claimed method of computer-aided design and accounting of telecommunication network facilities in that the communication network data is represented visually in the form of graphical symbols in a color image, moreover, identical of them, as well as technical accounting data, are differentiated by different colors depending on the quantitative, qualitative and / or temporary value of the parameter, is performed vectorization cartographic base and by mapping module to make it layerwise data layers by temporal parameters, with subsequent search, exchange and analysis of data

This problem is also solved by the fact that:

- data layers are introduced on a cartographic basis in chronological order of the time parameter, for example, data layers for existing and data layers for designed structures;

- the data is structured according to the technical parameters of the destination, for example, rural, city, intercity, broadband multifunctional, cellular communications, a network of wire and air broadcasting;

- data on technical accounting is structured according to the parameters of time and reporting, for example, by the timing and stages of design, the order of construction, the date of commissioning, accounting and serial numbering, inventory numbers of accounting;

- data is structured according to functional parameters, for example, data on communications, facilities and network equipment;

- data on communications, for example underground cable ducts, are structured according to accounting and technical parameters, for example, by type and number of inspection wells, number and profile of sewer channels between wells and / or houses, diameter and material of sewer pipes, length, type, capacity and cable core diameter;

- communications data are structured according to destination parameters, for example, intercity, inter-station, trunk, distribution and subscriber cables, overhead lines of a city or rural network;

- data banks on communication network equipment include data on distribution cabinets, telephone boxes, cable boxes, connection and branching couplings and are structured according to their accounting and technical parameters, for example, type, capacity and number of pairs of trunk and distribution cables;

- data symbols with physical parameters are visually represented in planar coordinates;

- data symbols with physical parameters are visually represented in spatial coordinates;

- the symbol of the well is visually represented in the form of a three-dimensional image of a vertical section with a graphic display of the components of the well, channels, cables and couplings;

- the symbol of houses, buildings and structures is visually represented in the form of a three-dimensional image with a graphic display in the vertical plane of the intra-house cable communication network and other telecommunications with the numbers of apartments, entrances, and also the places of installation of the network elements;

- that an electronic cartographic base with visually presented data symbols and their parameters, as well as technical accounting data is performed in the form of a digital plan-map of the project and technical accounting of communication network facilities for automatic data search, processing, analysis, calculation and entering calculated data on any of the layers of the plan map.

The primary data array is obtained as a result of the use of materials for prospecting works on the ground, available cartographic materials, and data from electronic cartographic accounting of existing structures. The layered translation of all parametrically structured data into a legend on an electronic cartographic basis allows you to automate the processes of searching, reading, analyzing, synthesizing, changing, correcting accounting and design data and creates opportunities to accelerate the processes of multivariate and / or multi-level (multi-layer) design or technical accounting. The creation and use of software modules and options to automate the processes of cloning, copying, automatic vectorization of symbols of the same type and elements of the same communication network also accelerates the design and technical accounting of telecommunications.

Creating and changing the color fill, color and type of circuits for displaying the symbols of different and identical elements of the communication network enables automated virtual integration of the same and similar elements of the communication network into data banks, differentiated by functional, physical, accounting, technical and technological parameters.

To achieve maximum completeness of data to accelerate design processes using software modules for automatic vectorization on an electronic cartographic basis, a number of data symbols with physical parameters are visually represented in spatial coordinates, for example:

- sketches of the facades of each or only telephonized (telephoned) multi-storey buildings for virtual layer-by-layer display of an intra-house cable communication network and other telecommunications in a vertical plane, with the possibility of indicating apartment numbers in the house and each staircase, installation (location) of elements of the intra-house cable network;

- a multilayer three-dimensional image of each telephone drainage well assembly and in a vertical section with a graphical display of the components of the well (manhole, manhole cover, brackets and consoles), as well as pipes (channels) entering and leaving it for the subsequent virtual display of cables and sleeves, located in pipes and a well (passport of a well);

- a multilayer image of the facade of each switch cabinet and its components (cable boxes) with the aim of virtual displaying the numbers of each telephone or other subscriber device with the ability to indicate the pairs of trunk and distribution cables (box contacts) to which the subscriber devices are connected, as well as the addresses of each from communication network subscribers or other parametric data for each pair of trunk and distribution cable.

Fulfillment of a digital plan-map of the project and technical accounting of communication network facilities ensures that it automatically searches for data, processes them, analyzes, calculates and enters settlement data onto any of the layers of the plan-map. For example:

- automatic reading of cable or cable duct lengths (lengths of trenches or paths of communication lines) depicted on an electronic cartographic basis on a scale, with the possibility of entering data on the lengths of each section in spreadsheets for subsequent calculations, analysis and synthesis and / or entering the results of calculations on one of the layers of the electronic cartographic base;

- automated search for an object represented as a symbol on an electronic cartographic basis (territory of a region, district, city, town, village) in an address data bank, for example, a plan card of a cable network of one of the telephone exchanges, an electronic passport of a distribution cabinet, electronic three-dimensional images of a cable well (passport of a well) and other telecommunication networks, their elements, etc.

Layering data on a cartographic basis by time parameters makes it possible to temporarily hide certain data that interferes with the search and display the necessary data for the current analysis, calculation of designed or existing communication network facilities and their technical accounting, i.e. conditions for multivariate design or technical accounting are created.

The method is as follows. The cartographic base is created in electronic form by scanning, then vectorization of the existing subbase obtained as a result of aerial photography or topographic surveying on the required scale and updating of the data on the ground as a result of design, survey and acceptance work when accepting the constructed or reconstructed object into operation are carried out in layers. and putting it on technical records. At the same time, heterogeneous groups of objects with different conventions are vectorized in different (multiple) layers with the name of each group (for example, “5kzh” - five-story brick residential buildings, “fences”, “rivers”, “railways”, “asphalt pavement” ”,“ Existing cable duct ”, etc.). If necessary, the names of each group are assigned names and / or data characterizing a particular element, for example, the name “narrow gauge” is indicated in the “railways” layer. Due to the use of multilayer vectorization, the separation of groups and elements of mapped objects, the possibility of proportional changes in their scale, the ability to temporarily disable or add layers and elements, the ability to quickly dynamically change sizes and contents, copy, clone a plan map and its layers, as well as multiple, multivariate and multi-user use for displaying it in different layers of designed objects and data on the technical accounting of communication facilities.

An example of the implementation of the method are options for a project plan card and technical accounting of telecommunication network facilities created on the same data array, structured and presented respectively in graphical symbols of different color solutions according to the proposed method.

Figure 1 presents a fragment of the plan map of the project and the technical accounting of the routes of underground structures of a telecommunication network of a district scale. In FIG. 2 - a fragment of the project plan map and technical accounting of the intra-house urban telephone network.

The plan map of FIG. 1, in contrast to the plan map of FIG. 2 additionally contains data on the territory being mapped, for example, data on the vegetation cover, buildings, road surfaces, which can significantly speed up the design process by presenting a visually examined area with the ability to automatically read all the necessary data parameters. In the plan map of FIG. 2 for the purposes of technical accounting directly presents only the data of the indicated purpose, which greatly simplifies the task of technical accounting, reducing its complexity.

Thus, the solution to the problem of reducing the complexity of the design and technical accounting of telecommunication network facilities regardless of the size of the data array when implementing the claimed set of features of the method is achieved through the complete visualization of extremely structured data on an electronic cartographic basis, allowing interactively automatically carry out any of the design stages and technical accounting, while ensuring high information content and reliability of the project that one.
