At some ports, a large number of trucks are required to complete the transportation of containers. However, when a large number of trucks are operating in the terminal, if some trucks make mistakes in driving and are not discovered and processed in time, it will affect the normal operation of other trucks and the normal work of the disassembly and assembly lock stations, greatly affecting the container operation efficiency of the port.

[0050] A container truck scheduling method provided by an embodiment of the present application is applied to an automated port system, wherein the port includes: an emergency zone is set at the exit side of the container loading and unloading area, a yard, a lock removal area, a lock installation area, and the lock removal area; a waiting area is set at the entrance side of the lock removal area; another emergency zone is set at the exit side of the lock installation area; another waiting area is set at the entrance side of the lock removal area; the automated port system includes: at least one sensor for detecting whether a container truck passes by; the sensor setting position includes: at least one of the exit of the waiting area, the entrance of the emergency area, and the normal section of the lock station; wherein the normal section of the lock station includes: the section from the lock removal area to the yard and / or the section from the lock installation area to the container loading and unloading area. When scheduling, the detection result of the sensor is first obtained, and then, based on the detection result, the driving trajectory of the container truck is determined; when the driving trajectory of the container truck does not match the preset trajectory, an alarm is issued. With such a setting, timely error correction and guidance are carried out for the erroneous container truck, reducing the impact caused by the erroneous operation of some container trucks, and improving the container operation efficiency of the port.

[0051] After introducing the basic principles of the present application, various non-limiting embodiments of the present application will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0052] Exemplary Automated Port System

[0053] This application provides an automated port system. Figure 1a , Figure 1b and Figure 2 As shown, the port includes: a container loading and unloading area 15, a yard 11, a lock removing area 16, a lock installing area 13, a waiting area 12 and an emergency area 14; a lock removing area 16 is provided with a lock station 3 for lock removing; a lock installing area 13 is provided with a lock station 3 for lock installing; an exception handling device is provided in the emergency area 14 for removing and installing locks on abnormal container trucks and handling the exceptions.

[0054] When a ship needs to unload cargo: The process is as follows:

[0055] S301, transfer the containers on the vessel to the container truck in the "loading and unloading container area 15".

[0056] S302, the container truck enters the "waiting area 12" arranged at the entrance of the "unlocking area 16".

[0057] It should be noted that the container truck needs to enter the "unlocking area 16" to unlock the truck, and the "unlocking area 16" is equipped with unlocking equipment. Since there may be vehicles that are unlocking the truck in the "unlocking area 16", the container truck needs to first enter the "waiting area 12" set at the entrance of the "unlocking area 16". When the "unlocking area 16" is free, the container truck enters the "unlocking area 16" from the "waiting area 12".

[0058] S303. The container truck enters the "unlocking area 16" from the "waiting area 12".

[0059] S304. If there is no abnormality during the unlocking process, after the unlocking is completed, the container truck leaves the locking station 3 and enters the "storage yard 11".

[0060] S305. If an abnormality occurs during the unlocking process, the container truck leaves the locking station 3 and enters the "emergency area 14".

[0061] S306. After the abnormality is handled in the "emergency area 14", the container truck leaves the "emergency area 14" and enters the "storage yard 11".

[0062] When the ship needs to be loaded, the process is as follows:

[0063] S401. Transfer the container to the container truck in the "storage yard 11".

[0064] S402. The container truck enters the "waiting area 12" set at the entrance of the "locking area 13".

[0065] It should be noted that the container truck needs to enter the "locking area 13" for locking, and locking equipment is set in the "locking area 13". Since there may be vehicles in the "locking area 13" that are in the process of locking, the container truck needs to first enter the "waiting area 12" set at the entrance of the "locking area 13". When the "locking area 13" is idle, the container truck enters the "locking area 13" from the "waiting area 12".

[0066] S403. The container truck enters the "locking area 13" from the "waiting area 12".

[0067] S404. If there is no abnormality during the locking process, after the locking is completed, the container truck leaves the locking station 3 and enters the "loading and unloading container area 15".

[0068] S405. If an abnormality occurs during the locking process, the container truck leaves the locking station 3 and enters the "emergency area 14".

[0069] S406. After the abnormality is handled in the "emergency area 14", the container truck leaves the "emergency area 14" and enters the "loading and unloading container area 15".

[0070] It should be noted that Figure 1 is merely an exemplary layout. In actual applications, the gantry truck can also move clockwise. Correspondingly, in Figure 1 at this time, the positions of the "lock installation area 13" on the left and the "lock removal area 16" on the right are swapped, and at the same time, the positions of the lock removal device and the lock installation device 3 are also swapped. At the same time, a "waiting area 12" is arranged on the side of the "lock removal area 16" close to the "container loading and unloading area 15", and an "emergency area 14" is arranged on the side of the "lock removal area 16" close to the "storage yard 11"; an "emergency area 14" is arranged on the side of the "lock installation area 13" close to the "container loading and unloading area 15", and a "waiting area 12" is arranged on the side of the "lock installation area 13" close to the "storage yard 11".

[0071] In one embodiment, in order to better control the operation of the gantry truck, the automated port system includes: a control device and at least one sensor 21 for detecting whether there is a gantry truck passing by; the sensor 21 is arranged on the pre-planned gantry truck driving path in the port, such as at the exit of the waiting area, the emergency area, and / or on the normal lane next to the emergency area; the control device communicatively connected to the sensor 21, and the control device is configured to execute obtaining the detection result of the sensor 21, determining the driving trajectory of the gantry truck based on the detection result, and giving an alarm when the driving trajectory of the gantry truck does not match the preset trajectory.

[0072] Specifically, the sensor 21 can be but is not limited to: trigger radar, anti-collision radar, inductive loop, laser detector, etc.; if the sensor 21 is a device such as a trigger radar, anti-collision radar, or laser detector, the sensor 21 can be arranged on one side of the gantry truck driving path, facing the section where the gantry truck passes by, so as to facilitate detecting whether there is a gantry truck passing by. When the sensor 21 is an inductive loop, the inductive loop can be arranged on the gantry truck driving path.

[0073] In actual applications, the installation positions of the sensor 21 include: the entrance of the container loading and unloading area 15, the entrance of the storage yard 11, the entrance of the lock removal area 16, the entrance of the lock installation area 13, the entrance of the waiting area 12, the entrance of the emergency area 14, the inside of the container loading and unloading area 15, the inside of the storage yard 11, the inside of the lock removal area 16, the inside of the lock installation area 13, the inside of the waiting area 12, the inside of the emergency area 14, the exit of the container loading and unloading area 15, the exit of the storage yard 11, the exit of the lock removal area 16, the exit of the lock installation area 13, the exit of the waiting area 12, the exit of the emergency area 14, and the lane next to the emergency area (normal section of the lock station). It should be noted that the functions of some of the above installation positions are repeated. For example, the sensors 21 arranged at the exit of the waiting area 12 and the entrance of the lock removal area 16 have the same function. In this case, only one sensor 21 can be arranged at the exit of the waiting area 12 and the entrance of the lock removal area 16.

[0074] In practical applications, there are two roads at the exit of the lock station 3. One leads to the emergency area 14, and the other leads directly to the stack 11 or the container loading and unloading area 15. In this case, a sensor 21 can be set only on the road leading to the emergency area 14, and based on this sensor 21, it is determined whether the container truck has entered the emergency area 14. If the container truck has not entered the emergency area 14, then the container truck has driven into the other road that leads directly to the stack 11 or the container loading and unloading area 15. Of course, the sensor 21 can also be set on the path that leads directly to the stack 11 or the container loading and unloading area 15. Further, a sensor 21 can be set for each of the two roads to determine whether a container truck has passed by.

[0075] In one embodiment, the automated port system includes: at least one guiding device arranged on the driving path of the container truck; the guiding device includes at least one of a gate 22, an indicator light 24, and a guiding screen. During the process of driving the container truck, the driver can drive based on the guidance of the indicator light 24 and the gate 22. Specifically, the indicator light 24 can be, but is not limited to, traffic lights. The indication rules of the traffic lights can be the same as those of the existing traffic lights on the road.

[0076] Further, in order to prevent the gate 22 from hitting passing vehicles or personnel, an anti-collision radar can be set on the gate 22. When the anti-collision radar detects that there are vehicles or pedestrians at the position where the gate 22 is about to fall, the gate 22 is controlled not to fall, thus preventing the gate 22 from hitting passing vehicles or personnel.

[0077] In one embodiment, the automated port system further includes: an identification device 23 arranged on the driving path of the container truck or above the entrance of the disassembly and assembly lock station, for identifying the container truck number or the container number.

[0078] Specifically, the identification device 23 can be a photographic device. In this way, the photographic device can take photos, and then identify the photos to obtain the container truck number or the container number. Of course, the identification device can also be a radio frequency identification device or other devices. In this case, a corresponding radio frequency tag needs to be set on the container truck.

[0079] In one embodiment, devices 42 for handling abnormalities and a human-machine interaction device 41 are arranged in the emergency area. After the staff in the emergency area complete the handling of the abnormality, they can send a signal indicating that the abnormality handling is completed through the human-machine interaction device 41. Specifically, the human-machine interaction device 41 can be a button.

[0080] Exemplary Method

[0085] S530: When the driving trajectory of the container truck does not match the preset trajectory, an alarm is issued.

[0086] It should be noted that when the running track of the container truck does not match the preset track, it means that the running route of the container truck is wrong, and an alarm needs to be issued. The alarm method can be to control the alarm device near the location of the container truck to issue an audible and visual alarm.

[0087] It should be noted that, in actual applications, when an abnormality occurs in the disassembly and assembly of the lock, the container truck will enter the emergency area, where the staff will handle the abnormality. After the abnormality is handled, the staff can input the abnormality handling completion instruction through the human-computer interaction device; based on this, the container truck scheduling method provided by the present application also includes: obtaining the abnormality handling completion instruction input by the staff through the human-computer interaction device; according to the abnormality handling completion instruction, controlling the gate at the exit of the emergency area to open, or controlling the indicator light to prompt, or prompting through the voice prompt device in the container truck, so as to prompt the driver to drive the container truck away from the emergency area.

[0088] Specifically, the automated port system includes gates, indicator lights and / or guide screens, and correspondingly, the container truck dispatching method includes: controlling the gates, indicator lights and / or guide screens to guide the movement of the container trucks. In this way, the gates, indicator lights and / or guide screens can be used to control the container trucks to travel along a pre-planned path.

[0089] In actual applications, some sudden emergencies may occur. At this time, the most urgent task is for the container truck to leave the dock. In order to deal with this situation, the container truck dispatching method provided in this application includes: receiving an emergency state instruction; controlling the road access of the port according to the emergency state instruction to allow the container truck to pass.
