DYNAMIC VIRTUAL FENCING FOR A HAZARDOUS ENVIRONMENT

摘要

A method and system for automatically generating dynamic virtual fences in a hazardous environment are provided. The method includes detecting a potential hazard associated with a field object in the hazardous environment. The method further includes determining a value of a risk factor of the potential hazard and area and shape of a dynamic virtual fence based on values of real-time operational parameters associated with the field object. The method includes automatically representing the dynamic virtual fence around a location of the field object on a map of the hazardous environment based on the determined area and shape and the value of the risk factor such that the dynamic virtual fence represents a hazardous zone in the hazardous environment.

1. A method of automatically generating dynamic virtual fences for a hazardous environment, the method comprising:
detecting a potential hazard associated with at least one field object in the hazardous environment; determining a risk factor of the potential hazard associated with the at least one field object based on values of real-time operational parameters associated with the at least one field object; determining an area and a shape of a dynamic virtual fence for the at least one field object based on the values of the real-time operational parameters associated with the at least one field object; and automatically representing the dynamic virtual fence around a location of the at least one field object on a map of the hazardous environment based on the determined area and shape and a value of the risk factor of the potential hazard, wherein the dynamic virtual fence represents a hazardous zone in the hazardous environment, and the risk factor indicates amount of impact of the potential hazard.
