A system and method for determining a distance of a utility asset from a moving equipment. The invention determines a first current location of the equipment; accesses stored coordinates for a plurality of utility assets; selects an area of interest including a portion of the plurality of utility assets; identifies local utility assets in the selected area; determines a utility asset nearest to the first current position of the equipment, from the local utility assets; determines velocity and direction of the moving equipment; and determines the distance from the nearest utility asset to the second current location of the equipment responsive to the determined velocity and direction of the equipment. The invention may then generate a warning indication responsive to the determined distance.

L'invention porte sur un système et un procédé déterminant la distance d'un réseau souterrain de distribution (par exemple gaz, électricité, eau, téléphone, etc.) d'un engin mobile (par exemple de terrassement) . L'invention: détermine la position actuelle de l'engin; accède à des coordonnées enregistrées de plusieurs réseaux; sélectionne une zone d'intérêt comprenant une partie des différents réseaux; identifie un réseau local dans la zone d'intérêt; détermine la vitesse et la direction de l'engin; détermine la distance entre le réseau le plus proche et la deuxième position actuelle de l'engin en fonction de sa vitesse et de sa direction; et émet éventuellement une alarme en fonction de ladite distance.
