AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Existing water leakage detection systems fail to determine whether valves can be operated, leading to inefficiencies in emergency water shut-off procedures due to potential valve inoperability, necessitating improved management of valve operation status for effective water supply maintenance.

Method used

A water supply information management device and system that includes a storage unit for pipeline and valve management information, a selection input unit, a valve management information extraction unit, and a valve operation feasibility determination unit to assess operable valves, with an output unit providing determination results and hydraulic evaluation.

Benefits of technology

Enables efficient creation of water shut-off plans by identifying operable valves and evaluating hydraulic effects, ensuring effective water supply maintenance and management even when valves are inoperable.

Abstract

This invention aims to create a water supply information management device that allows for easy use of the results of determining whether a valve can be operated or not for water supply maintenance and management. [Solution] The water supply information management device 10 includes a storage unit 20 that stores linked pipeline information D10, which is information about water supply pipelines, and valve management information D20, which is information about whether valves installed in the pipelines can be operated; a selection input unit 31 into which the selection of the pipeline D101 is input; a valve management information extraction unit 32 that extracts valve management information D20 of valves located within a predetermined range from the input pipeline, based on the pipeline information D10 related to the pipeline; a valve operation feasibility determination unit 33 that determines whether the valves in the valve management information D20 can be operated based on the valve management information D20 extracted by the valve management information extraction unit 32; and an output unit 34 that outputs the determination result from the valve operation feasibility determination unit 33.
