Abstract

Systems and methods for performing the dynamic anomaly localization of utility pole aerial/suspended/supported wires/cables by distributed fiber optic sensing. In sharp contrast to the prior art, our inventive systems and methods according to aspects of the present disclosure advantageously identify a “location region” on a utility pole supporting an affected wire/cable, thereby permitting the identification and reporting of service personnel that are uniquely responsible for responding to such anomalous condition(s).

Claims (34)

1. A method for the dynamic anomaly localization of utility pole wires, wherein the utility pole wires are laid on a utility pole, the method comprising:

receiving a scattered light from optical fiber laid on the utility pole:

identifying a vibration based on the scattered light;

analyzing whether the each of utility pole wires are affected based on vibration;

reporting to administrator if any utility pole wire is determined to be affected by the vibration.

2. The method according to claim 1 , further comprising identifying a location of the vibration occurred; and

reporting to administrator the location of the vibration occurred.

3. The method according to claim 1 , further comprising identifying a position of the utility pole where the vibration is occurred; and

analyzing which utility wires are affected based on the position.

4. The method according to claim 3 , further comprising reporting to different administrator depending on the affected wire.

5. A system for the dynamic anomaly localization of utility pole wires, wherein the utility pole wires are laid on a utility pole, the system comprising:

a non-transitory computer readable medium configured to store instructions thereon;

a Distributed Fiber Optic Sensing (DFOS) configured to receive a scattered light from an optical fiber laid on the utility pole, wherein the Distributed Fiber Optic Sensing (DFOS) connected to the optical fiber;

a processor connected to the Distributed Fiber Optic Sensing (DFOS) and the non-transitory computer readable medium, wherein the processor is configured to execute the instructions for:

identifying a vibration based on the scattered light;

analyzing whether the each of utility pole wires are affected based on vibration; and

reporting to administrator if any utility pole wire is determined to be affected by the vibration.

6. The system according to claim 5 , wherein the processor is configured to execute the instructions for identifying a location of the vibration occurred; and

reporting to administrator the location of the vibration occurred.

7. The system according to claim 5 , wherein the processor is configured to execute the instructions for identifying a position of the utility pole where the vibration is occurred; and;

wherein the processor is configured to execute the instructions for analyzing which utility wires are affected based on the position.

8. The system according to claim 5 , wherein the processor is configured to execute the instructions for reporting to different administrator depending on the affected wire.

9. A device for the dynamic anomaly localization of utility pole wires, wherein the utility pole wires are laid on a utility pole, the system comprising:

a non-transitory computer readable medium configured to store instructions thereon;

a Distributed Fiber Optic Sensing (DFOS) configured to receive a scattered light from an optical fiber laid on the utility pole, wherein the Distributed Fiber Optic Sensing (DFOS) connected to the optical fiber;

a processor connected to the Distributed Fiber Optic Sensing (DFOS) and the non-transitory computer readable medium, wherein the processor is configured to execute the instructions for:

identifying a vibration based on the scattered light;

analyzing whether the each of utility pole wires are affected based on vibration; and

reporting to administrator if any utility pole wire is determined to be affected by the vibration.

10. The device according to claim 9 , wherein the processor is configured to execute the instructions for identifying a location of the vibration occurred; and

reporting to administrator the location of the vibration occurred.

11. The device according to claim 9 , wherein the processor is configured to execute the instructions for identifying a position of the utility pole where the vibration is occurred; and;

wherein the processor is configured to execute the instructions for analyzing which utility wires are affected based on the position.

12. The device according to claim 9 , wherein the processor is configured to execute the instructions for reporting to different administrator depending on the affected wire.
