Cloud-architecture electronic water-gate management system and method

Abstract

The invention belongs to the control field of water-gates and relates to a computer and a communication system which can be used for automatically collecting and managing information of containers and conveying vehicles in ports, docks, industrial areas and logistics centers. A cloud-architecture electronic water-gate management system provided by the invention is characterized by comprising a data collecting control system, an intelligent information management system and a network communication system, wherein the data collecting control system is in communication with the intelligent information management system by the network communication system. According to the system and a method, radio frequency and a digital image recognition technologies are adopted simultaneously, the reliability of automatic in-time data collection of concentrated transportation vehicles and containers can be improved; the two technologies can be used independently and also can be used in a combined manner, and the configuration is flexible, so that the system can be realized conveniently.

Description

Technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the gate control field, and is a computer and communication system used for automatic collection and management of information on containers and their transportation vehicles in ports, docks, industrial areas, and logistics centers. Background technique [0002] There are currently three popular electronic gates and related vehicle data collection and supervision in the industry: 1) RFID-based electronic gate systems, in which a radio frequency reader is installed in the gate channel that the vehicle must pass through to identify the installation on the vehicle The electronic tag sends the identification data to the on-site PC through the network cable, and associates the identification result completed by it with the physical gate, and opens the gate when the identification is successful. 2) High-definition camera plus image recognition technology, when the vehicle passes through the gate channel, the license plate / container number...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

For example, the existing RFID-based electronic gate system stores the relevant information of vehicles and containers into electronic tags or industrial computers, all of which have strictly defined data storage formats, which makes an electronic tag only used for one system or one type. equipment, if the quantity and format of stored information are changed, the electronic tags and gate control software must be changed accordingly; moreover, other information stored in the electronic tags reduces the security of the entire system

[0005] (2) The locality of the gate control software reduces the flexibility, reliability and scalability of the system

Regardless of whether RFID technology or image processing technology is used, the identification rules of vehicles or containers are fixedly compiled in the program code and stored in the industrial control. Every time the system is upgraded, the software must be changed in the corresponding industrial control computer; even if Some systems adopt B / S architecture, and the gate control program also requires personnel operation

[0006] (3) Other problems include: due to the limitation of the front-end equipment, the crossing control industrial computer needs to be installed in the driveway integrated machine, which reduces the safety and stability; each crossing control industrial computer can only control one channel, and the system is scattered and unstable It is easy to manage; there are many cables connected to the front-end equipment installation, and it is difficult to upgrade the system; the industrial computer running the gate identification software system must be installed with an IO card and an image acquisition card, and the IO card and the image acquisition card are not network devices. Unable to access the network; the industrial computer running the gate identification system is fixed and cannot be easily switched to other machines for operation
