Method and system for managing a protective distribution system

A system for managing a protective distribution system, comprising:

• a computer system comprises one or more processors programmed to execute computer program instructions which, when executed, cause the computer system to:
• monitor a physical information transmission line;
• detect, via one or more sensors, a disturbance on the physical information transmission line, wherein the detected disturbance does not exceed a first preset threshold for triggering alerts of a first alert type based on detected disturbances;
• determine, responsive to the detection via the one or more sensors, a count for the number of disturbances within a preset time period that do not exceed the first preset threshold;
• determine whether the count, for the number of disturbances that do not exceed the first preset threshold, exceeds a second preset threshold, wherein the second preset threshold corresponds to a preset number of allowable disturbances within the preset time period;
• and
• trigger an alert of the first alert type responsive to a determination that the count exceeds the second preset threshold.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium for storing computer instructions therein, the computer-readable medium comprising a set of instructions which when executed causes a processor to perform a method for managing a protective distribution system, the method comprising:

• monitoring a physical information transmission line;
• detecting, via one or more sensors, a disturbance on the physical information transmission line, wherein the detected disturbance does not exceed a first preset threshold for triggering alerts of a first alert type based on detected disturbances;
• determining, responsive to the detection via the one or more sensors, a count for the number of disturbances within a preset time period that do not exceed the first preset threshold;
• determining whether the count, for the number of disturbances that do not exceed the first preset threshold, exceeds a second preset threshold, wherein the second preset threshold corresponds to a preset number of allowable disturbances within the preset time period;
• and
• triggering an alert of the first alert type responsive to a determination that the count exceeds the second preset threshold.
