Abstract
Abstract
The Distribution networks are the most important part of the utilities that distribute electrical energy to the consumers. Problems with location-referenced information such as inaccuracy, inability to control information, and lack of rapid access to information are considered as technical problems. The complexity of updating information, the complexities related to information storage and wearing out are no exception to this rule. Existing technical problems and the failure to use the new systems in the relief issue will prolong the duration of the blackout. The purpose of this research is to design and implement a context aware spatial information system for providing a series of services such as routing, map displaying, and the provision of distribution network information in the field of urban electricity distribution incidents. Urban electricity distribution networks consist of various parts and equipment. The rescuer determines the type of failure due to available and accessible network information. The failure type is considered as the user's environmental context, and the location of the rescue vehicle is considered as the location context. Therefore, the context in this study are classified into two general categories of position and network context. Finally, the implementation and testing of a designed to help managing the urban electrical distribution networks was studied which resulted in 80% satisfaction.
