ITU-T L.94 (01/2015) FOREWORD The International Telecommunication Union (ITU) is the United Nations specialized agency in the field of telecommunications, information and communication technologies (I
6、CTs). The ITU Telecommunication Standardization Sector (ITU-T) is a permanent organ of ITU. ITU-T is responsible for studying technical, operating and tariff questions and issuing Recommendations on them with a view to standardizing telecommunications on a worldwide basis. The World Telecommunicatio
7、n Standardization Assembly (WTSA), which meets every four years, establishes the topics for study by the ITU-T study groups which, in turn, produce Recommendations on these topics. The approval of ITU-T Recommendations is covered by the procedure laid down in WTSA Resolution 1. In some areas of info
8、rmation technology which fall within ITU-Ts purview, the necessary standards are prepared on a collaborative basis with ISO and IEC. NOTE In this Recommendation, the expression “Administration“ is used for conciseness to indicate both a telecommunication administration and a recognized operating age
9、ncy. Compliance with this Recommendation is voluntary. However, the Recommendation may contain certain mandatory provisions (to ensure, e.g., interoperability or applicability) and compliance with the Recommendation is achieved when all of these mandatory provisions are met. The words “shall“ or som
10、e other obligatory language such as “must“ and the negative equivalents are used to express requirements. The use of such words does not suggest that compliance with the Recommendation is required of any party. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTSITU draws attention to the possibility that the practice or i

22、te system (DGNSS): Navigation system that derives differential location information by comparing traditional global navigation satellite system (GNSS)-based data to localized reference positions. It is a technology that provides better location accuracy than traditional GNSS, from 5-10 metres down t
23、o a few metres depending on the availability of line of sight satellite communications, to about 10 cm in case of the best implementations. 3.2.2 geo-referencing: The process of applying a coordinate system to a layer of data, in order to define its existence in physical space. 3.2.3 global navigati
24、on satellite system (GNSS): A system of satellites that provide autonomous geo-spatial positioning with global coverage. The global navigation satellite system (GNSS) receiver calculates its own position on earth. This positional information can be used in many applications such as mapping, surveyin
25、g, navigation and mobile geographical information system (GIS). 2 Rec. ITU-T L.94 (01/2015) 3.2.4 WGS-84: The World Geodetic System 1984 (WGS-84) coordinate system is a conventional terrestrial system (CTS), realized by modifying the Navy navigation satellite system (NNSS), Doppler Reference Frame (
26、NSWC 9Z-2) in origin and scale, and rotating it to bring its reference meridian into coincidence with the International Time Bureau defined zero meridian. 4 Abbreviations and acronyms This Recommendation uses the following abbreviations and acronyms: CAD Computer Aided Design DGNSS Differential Glob

28、ould be in digital format. 6.1 Information The information of telecommunication outdoor infrastructure in a geo-referenced map depends on user requirements. Typical examples of information in telecommunication network geo-referenced maps are as follows: the cable routing and the type of infrastructu
29、re; the length of each section; the owner of each section; the status of infrastructure use, for example empty or occupied duct; the year of installation; the number of ducts; the dimensions of the duct, cable, optical closure and optical cabinet, etc.; the number and the type of cable inside the du
30、ct; distribution points (as described in ITU-T L.90). 6.2 Elements of the network On the geo-referenced map, the following minimum network element should be visualized: central offices, poles, manholes, optical closures, optical cabinets, ducts and tunnels. 7 Software Network maps should be visualiz
31、ed both in geographical information system (GIS) format for geographical view, and in a computer aided design (CAD) system, for schematic view. Rec. ITU-T L.94 (01/2015) 3 8 Mobile device used in the field The device used for collecting in-field data should be a mobile handheld device, compliant wit
32、h ITU-T L.69. It is suggested that the mobile device has a screen with sufficient dimensions to see the map. 9 Global positioning system In order to geo-reference the network elements, assign geographical coordinates, elevation, longitude and latitude, it is recommended to use a global navigation sa
33、tellite system (GNSS) receiver. However, a GNSS has a positioning accuracy of 5 to 10 metres, because there must be a relative line of sight between the GNSS antenna and at least four satellites. Objects, such as buildings, overpasses, and other obstructions, that shield the antenna from a satellite
34、 can potentially weaken a satellites signal such that it becomes too difficult to ensure reliable positioning. These difficulties are particularly prevalent in urban areas. In order to have reliable positioning both in urban and in non-urban areas, with an error from 1 to 10 cm, it is recommended to
35、 use differential GNSS. 10 Maintenance of digital existing data A geo-referenced map should show the users the position, the name and the status of the network element (such as new, old or to be changed) and additional information. Furthermore, a geo-referenced map should show the process of mainten
36、ance of the infrastructure components, scheduling times for periodic maintenance and the status of the maintenance action through a work flow system. The status of the network elements should be upgraded when finishing a construction or repairing work and the mean time of update should depend on the
37、 network element type. 11 Procedure The procedures for creating digital and geo-referenced cartography are different depending on whether or not the paper network maps exist. If network maps exist in paper format, digital map should be created through CAD editing and it should be possible to import
38、it in GIS. If network maps of a specific zone do not exist, digital maps should be created through various steps. It is recommended to execute the following process at least: The survey process: People should collect data about network information through a PDA or mobile device with GNSS on board. I
39、n this way, the network component, its description, and coordinates are recorded in field and loaded in real time to the database; The back office process: During this step, the operator should access the district database, validate collecting data and transfer data on the final project; In order to
40、 collect data about buried infrastructure, georadar with GNSS (or differential global navigation satellite system (DGNSS) should be used. Then all collected data should be loaded to the database. All data, both edited with CAD and collected with mobile device and georadar machine should be visualize
41、d both in CAD and GIS and they should be created with the same geographical coordinate system, such as the international standard world geodetic system 1984 (WGS-84). It is recommended to collect and geo-reference data about all outdoor infrastructure components and buildings, such as central office
42、s and customer premises where indoor elements, equipment, or optical distribution frames are installed. 4 Rec. ITU-T L.94 (01/2015) 12 Local and remote database The geo-referenced system should be an appropriate application, such as a web-based system, in order to have a user-friendly interface. In
43、terms of the local database, it should be possible to associate in-field information directly to the network element, recorded with an ID tag applied to it, as described in ITU-T L.64. Using the remote database, it should be possible to choose the central office area in order to visualize only the i
44、nfrastructure of a specific zone and its component. Furthermore, it should be possible to select a layer of the network that contains a certain kind of information. For example, you could see only the telecommunication copper network or only empty ducts. Rec. ITU-T L.94 (01/2015) 5 Appendix I Italia
45、n experience regarding geo-referencing system (This appendix does not form an integral part of this Recommendation.) A solution has been developed and designed for asset management and collection of telecommunication infrastructure. The solution provides comprehensive support for inventory, manageme
46、nt and maintenance of company assets, as well as procurement activities. It gives the end user the ability to collect, analyse, display assets, locations and work orders in a geospatial perspective. With the use of a mobile terminal, field technicians are able to work remotely and interact with busi
47、ness processes and data on the platform. In a cloud environment and with the use of digital maps, it is possible to represent any type of network object, identify directly from the field, and update the central database for sharing data within other companies. Figure I.1 Collecting system This propr
48、ietary platform is integrated with a workflow management and collaborative working platform for a better management of the life processes of infrastructure. This platform is a software solution based on the SaaS paradigm (Software as a Service), reachable from any device with web access. It also has
49、 a geospatial search engine that lets you view the results on a map. Advanced searches can be performed by filtering based on address, city, region, nation, or geospatial coordinates.
