Development of intelligent navigation platform used for long-distance oil and gas pipelines

There is no information of long-distance oil and gas pipelines in general maps and mobile maps. The general navigation cannot provide detailed and accurate road information in the areas where are topographically complicated and sparsely populated, so they are unsuitable for providing the pipeline maintenance and repair teams with the route planning. An intelligent navigation platform of long-distance oil and gas pipelines was developed based on AMAP API. It is mainly composed of positioning module, route planning and navigation module, display module and memory module. On this platform, the third-party map data and the pipeline valve chamber data are integrated together by invoking the service interfaces to constitute the digitalized map. By using the coordinate conversion technology, latitude and longitude coordinates are converted into the data which are identifiable in the third-party map to locate quickly the accident positions, plan the rescue routes and track the positions of rescue teams. The dodge point management function is set up to bypass the restriction roads and avoid round trips. The dodge point can be added and deleted according to the requirements of clients so that large vehicles can reach the site quickly. And besides, the history trajectory saving function is set up to save the trajectory of last trip. By looking over the history trajectory, the rescue team can reach the rescue site in time with the least time consumption.
