Abstract:Once fault occurs on the optical cable, it will seriously impair communication. In order to solve the terrible result caused by faults, the system implements the management of the spatial database of the optical cable and the information along it and location fault spots with celerity and legitimacy, according to the spatial and environmental characteristics on geographic distribution of the optical cable network and based on GIS, as it displays the multimedia information around the fault spot, such as landform and physiognomy. Combining the buffer with path analysis function of GIS, the system searches for the optimum path to the fault spot on the optical cable, and also gives emergency schemes to dispose the fault. This application has gained a satisfactory result for effectively managing communication optical cable resources, shortening the repair time, and diminishing the loss caused by faults.
