Network Layers

Bays

The bays layer consists of a geographic and voltage representation of the network.  A bay represents the physical space between two structures.

Voltage schematic the bays are styled based on voltage.

Geographic schematic

Conductors

The conductors layer consists of conductor representations including conductor length, conductor ground clearance, conductor attachment height, and sampled conductor heights (sampled at 1m intervals).

The sampled catenary heights layer represents catenary heights above ground for each individual catenary within a bay segmented by voltage.  The sample interval is 1m.

The attachment heights layer represents the height at which each conductor attaches to the structure (i.e. insulator).

Ground Clearance

The ground clearance layer represents the location and height of the minimum ground clearance for each conductor within a bay.

The conductor lengths layer represents the length (including sag) for each individual conductor within a bay.

Sites

The sites layer represents the location of structures that have been modelled in the ROAMES network model.

Spans

The spans layer represents the vertically separable conductors within a bay typically representing a different voltage or conductor function (e.g. neutral) within the bay.

Conductor Clearance Risk

The conductor clearance risk layer consists of conductor clearance risk thresholds (e.g. red, yellow, green) determined by the risk assessment (defect priority) of the conductor clearance.

Note: The business rules for conductor clearance risk analysis can be multi-dimensional and defined by the client.  It could consider other factors such as load at risk, criticality of circuit, life support customer, age of the line, or network performance.

Vegetation Zones

The vegetation zones layer consists of vegetation management areas.

Network

The network layer consists of conductors and poles. Conductors are styled based on voltage, and an asset pop-up (Object Browser activated by clicking on an object) displays ROAMES derived attributes and client-focused asset metadata.

Note: Attributes visible to particular roles are configured from within Roames Web (portal).  Identifying attributes such as site label is an example of an attribute that can be made visible only after logging in.
