It is required that all network owners are able to immediately answer requests about the exact positioning of underground routes, to avoid damage to infrastructure when digging in the field. The Smallworld AutoLER 2.0 application works with all types of Smallworld Network Inventory applications.

Challenge

The Danish Agency for Data Supply and Efficiency requires all network owners to be able to immediately answer requests about the exact positioning of underground routes, via the hub LER* 2.0, in order to avoid damage to infrastructure when digging in the field. *) LER = Lednings Ejer Register

Solution
‍
The AutoLER 2.0 module will include all generic handling of LER 2.0 functions and is designed to communicate with LER 2.0 according to the applicable procedures. Smallworld is the platform and user interface for the AutoLER admin client, which handles maps, menus, plotting, rules, and request management.

Overview of AutoLER interworking with LER og GIS database

‍The sequence of communication, as visualised above, is:

1. AutoLER gets request from LER
2. AutoLER logs requests to Admin DB (DataBase)
3. AutoLER performs network search in GIS DB
4. AutoLER sends response to LER

Advantages

The AutoLER 2.0 application works with all types of Smallworld Network Inventory applications, such as fiber, district heating and electricity, via application startup and user interface, and secures timely and robust interaction with LER 2.0.
