Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to a container land port intelligent gate management technology, and more specifically, to an intelligent gate lane management method. Background Art
[0002] For small and medium-sized container land ports, in the current land-based intelligent gate control system, the port container production management system (TOS) is mainly responsible for the logical verification of vehicle passage business, while the intelligent gate operating system (GOS) focuses on vehicle transportation information identification and gate lane release control to achieve automated management and unmanned management of routine business processes for vehicles entering and leaving the port.
[0003] This control method, especially when facing a land gate layout with a single structure design (as opposed to a multi-stage gate layout), requires efficient collaboration between port central control business operators and gate operators, given that the vehicle identification, verification and release processes must be completed continuously in the same lane, in order to effectively ensure vehicle traffic efficiency, thereby preventing and alleviating possible congestion at the gate.
[0004] Especially during the vehicle release verification process, once the system detects any abnormality, it is necessary to immediately notify the gate operator to arrive at the scene quickly and perform manual review procedures. Based on the specific conditions on site, the operator may need to direct the vehicle to safely retreat or use a remote control device to control the lifting of the barrier at close range, or even manually operate the lifting device. Summary of the invention
[0005] In view of the defects existing in the prior art, the purpose of the present invention is to provide an intelligent gate lane control method, which can improve the operating efficiency of small and medium-sized container land ports and reduce operating costs.

[0008] Establish communication connection between TOS system and GOS system;
[0009] The TOS system is responsible for executing vehicle release logic verification, gate lane operation status monitoring and issuing vehicle release control instructions based on the vehicle transport information uploaded by the GOS system;
[0010] The GOS is responsible for automatic identification of vehicle transport information, automatic collection of vehicle weight, etc., and real-time control of vehicle release based on the release instructions issued by the TOS system.

[0016] Preferably, the step S1 specifically includes:
[0017] The central control business operator shall complete a comprehensive check of the gate status in advance.
[0018] Preferably, the step S2 specifically includes:
[0019] When a vehicle enters any operating lane of the smart gate and passes through the "arrival" detection area, the TOS system receives the traffic status data of "vehicle arrival" and monitors and displays the lane operation status in real time.
[0020] Preferably, the real-time monitoring and display of lane operation status specifically includes:
[0021] The vehicle traffic status of the lane is updated to "vehicle arrival", the lane occupancy status value is updated to "occupied", and the lane occupancy time is simultaneously started to be counted.
[0022] Preferably, the step S3 specifically includes:
[0023] The vehicle continues to travel and reaches the "identification" detection area. The TOS system receives the vehicle's transport identification data, performs a vehicle release logic check, and issues a vehicle release control instruction based on the check result. The GOS system then receives the vehicle release control instruction for real-time control.
[0024] Preferably, the vehicle release control instructions issued according to the verification results include receipt printing operation, lane LED prompts, and automatic barrier lifting.
[0025] Preferably, the step S4 specifically includes:
[0026] In the case where the lane guardrail has been raised, if the vehicle continues to drive through the "gate-passing" detection area, the TOS system receives the "vehicle-passing" traffic status data and conducts real-time monitoring and display of the lane operation status.
[0027] Preferably, the real-time monitoring and display of lane operation status specifically includes:
[0028] Update the vehicle traffic status of the lane to "vehicle passing the gate", the lane occupancy status value to "idle", and synchronously terminate the statistics of the lane occupancy time;
[0029] On the contrary, if the vehicle reverses out of the lane, or reverses out because it is not allowed to pass, after the vehicle passes through the "retreat" detection area, the TOS system receives the traffic status data of "vehicle reverses out", conducts real-time monitoring and display of the lane operation status: updates the vehicle traffic status of the lane to "vehicle reverses out", the lane occupancy status value to "idle", and synchronously terminates the statistics of the lane occupancy time.
[0030] Preferably, the TOS system establishes a communication connection with the GOS system through an API interface, a RESTful interface, a database interaction or a message queue.

In the present invention, the GOS system is mainly responsible for the identification of vehicle carrying information entering the gate lane and the release instructions issued according to TOS, so as to realize the real-time control of vehicle passage equipment. At the same time, it can also enable production business operators to handle business operations and gate supervision operations at the same time, realizing the diversification of job functions and comprehensive coverage of management. The built-in monitoring mechanism of the TOS system enables production business operators to respond quickly and take remote processing measures as a priority, thereby significantly reducing the gate site's dependence on direct manual intervention, further improving the port's operating efficiency and management level, and accelerating the transformation of the gate to full unmanned duty. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
[0032] Figure 1 It is a functional framework diagram of the intelligent gate lane control method of the present invention;
[0033] Figure 2 It is a flow chart of the intelligent gate lane control method of the present invention. DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0034] In order to better understand the above technical solution of the present invention, the technical solution of the present invention is further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments.
[0035] Combination Figure 1 As shown, the present invention provides a smart gate lane control method:
[0036] By optimizing the gate management function module of the existing TOS system (port production management system), designing the gate lane operation status monitoring function and lane vehicle release control function, and establishing a communication connection between the TOS system and the GOS system (intelligent gate operating system) through API interface, Restful interface, database interaction or message queue, the integrated management and control of production business and gate operations can be realized.
[0037] The TOS system is responsible for executing vehicle release logic verification, gate lane operation status monitoring and issuing vehicle release control instructions based on the vehicle transportation information uploaded by the GOS system.
[0038] GOS is responsible for automatic identification of vehicle transport information, automatic collection of vehicle weight, and real-time control of vehicle release based on release instructions issued by the TOS system.
[0039] The above-mentioned gate lane operation status monitoring functions specifically include:
[0040] Vehicle traffic status monitoring is mainly responsible for monitoring the dynamic behavior of vehicles on the lane, including three states: "vehicle arrival", "vehicle passing the gate" and "vehicle reversing to leave".
[0041] Lane occupancy status monitoring mainly focuses on monitoring whether the lane is occupied, including three states: "idle", "occupied" and "abnormal". Among them, when the TOS system shows that the lane occupancy status is "occupied", but the vehicle traffic status data uploaded by the GOS system is "vehicle arrived", the TOS system updates the lane occupancy status to "abnormal".
[0042] Lane occupancy time statistics: Based on monitoring the lane occupancy status, the system further counts the occupancy time of the current vehicle.
[0043] The above lane vehicle release control functions specifically include:
[0044] Lane ticket printing control, the system provides lane ticket printing settings and re-printing operations.
[0045] The lane ticket printing setting includes two states, "yes" and "no", which are set separately according to container business, bulk business, and other business categories. If "yes" is selected for any business, the system must include the ticket information when issuing the departure instruction for the business; otherwise, when the system issues the departure instruction for the business, it needs to notify the GOS system that the vehicle does not need to print the ticket.
[0046] For business processes that require the generation and printing of receipts, when the system fails to successfully execute the printing operation due to communication anomalies or other emergencies, the central control business operator will implement measures to re-print the receipt. This operation allows the central control business operator to modify the receipt information according to actual needs, including: vehicle target location, double-box operation sequence adjustment, receipt notes, etc. It should be noted that if the lane receipt printing is set to "No", this function will be displayed as "Unavailable" in the system interface.
[0047] Lane LED prompt control: The system controls the lane LED prompt content based on the vehicle release logic verification result. For vehicles that are allowed to pass, a "Welcome to enter / exit the gate" prompt is issued; otherwise, an abnormal prompt is issued to inform the truck driver of the reason for not releasing the vehicle and remind the driver to call the central control for confirmation. For abnormal prompts, the system allows the central control business operator to modify the LED prompt content according to actual needs.
[0048] Lane lifting and lowering control includes "lifting bar" operation and "lowering bar" operation.
[0049] Combination Figure 2 As shown, the intelligent gate lane control method of the present invention specifically includes the following steps:
[0050] S1, Preliminary preparation: The central control business operator needs to complete a comprehensive check of the gate status in advance, including the current gate status, the current lane operation status, etc., to ensure that the lane meets the operating conditions. At the same time, configure the lane ticket printing, lane LED prompt content, etc. to meet different operating requirements.
[0051] S2, vehicle entry, lane operation status monitoring: When a vehicle enters any operating lane of the smart gate and passes through the "arrival" detection area, the TOS system receives the traffic status data of "vehicle arrival", and conducts real-time monitoring and display of the lane operation status: updates the vehicle traffic status of the lane to "vehicle arrival", the lane occupancy status value to "occupied", and simultaneously starts timing the lane occupancy time.
[0052] S3, vehicle identification, verification, and release control: The vehicle continues to drive and reaches the "identification" detection area. The TOS system receives the vehicle's transport identification data, performs a vehicle release logic verification, and issues a vehicle release control instruction based on the verification result. The instruction includes: lane ticket information, lane LED prompts, etc. The GOS system receives the control instruction and performs real-time control of the ticket printing operation, lane LED prompts, automatic lifting of the barrier, etc.
[0053] S4, vehicle exits the gate, lane operation status monitoring: In the case where the lane railing has been raised, if the vehicle continues to drive through the "passing the gate" detection area, the TOS system receives the traffic status data of "vehicle passing the gate", and performs real-time monitoring and display of the lane operation status: the vehicle traffic status of the lane is updated to "vehicle passing the gate", the lane occupancy status value is "idle", and the statistics of the lane occupancy time are terminated synchronously. On the contrary, if the vehicle reverses out of the lane, or reverses out because it is not allowed to be released, after the vehicle passes through the "exit" detection area, the TOS system receives the traffic status data of "vehicle reverses out", and performs real-time monitoring and display of the lane operation status: the vehicle traffic status of the lane is updated to "vehicle reverses out", the lane occupancy status value is "idle", and the statistics of the lane occupancy time are terminated synchronously.
[0054] Example
[0055] Recombination Figure 1 As shown in the figure, the TOS system is responsible for executing the vehicle release logic verification based on the vehicle transport information uploaded by the GOS system, monitoring the operation status of the gate lane and issuing the vehicle release control command. The GOS system is responsible for automatic identification of vehicle transport information, automatic collection of vehicle weight, etc. and real-time control of vehicle release based on the release command issued by the TOS system. The TOS system and the GOS system establish a communication connection through API interface, Restful interface, database interaction or message queue.
[0056] Based on the existing gate management function, the TOS system adds gate lane operation status monitoring function and lane vehicle release control function. Among them, the gate lane operation status monitoring function includes three functions: vehicle traffic status monitoring, lane occupancy status monitoring and lane occupancy time statistics. The lane vehicle release control function includes three functions: lane ticket printing control, lane LED prompt control and lane lifting and lowering control.
[0057] The above-mentioned gate lane operation status monitoring functions specifically include:
[0058] Vehicle traffic status monitoring is mainly responsible for monitoring the dynamic behavior of vehicles on the lane, including three states: "vehicle arrival", "vehicle passing the gate" and "vehicle reversing to leave".
[0059] Lane occupancy status monitoring mainly focuses on monitoring whether the lane is occupied, including three states: "idle", "occupied" and "abnormal". Among them, when the TOS system shows that the lane occupancy status is "occupied", but the vehicle traffic status data uploaded by the GOS system is "vehicle arrived", the TOS system updates the lane occupancy status to "abnormal".
[0060] Lane occupancy time statistics: Based on monitoring the lane occupancy status, the system further counts the current vehicle occupancy time. This function provides decision support for central control business operators and provides a solid data foundation for the system to evaluate lane utilization, identify traffic bottlenecks, and optimize traffic organization strategies.
[0061] The above lane vehicle release control function specifically includes:
[0062] Lane ticket printing control, the system provides lane ticket printing settings and re-printing operations.
[0063] The lane ticket printing setting includes two states, "Yes" and "No", which are set separately according to container business, bulk business, and other business categories. If "Yes" is selected for any business, the system must include the ticket information when issuing the departure instruction for the business; otherwise, when the system issues the departure instruction for the business, it needs to notify GOS that the vehicle does not need to print the ticket.
[0064] Lane ticket information includes: license plate number, business type (pick up container / deliver container / pick up goods / delivery / other), operation sequence number, container number, container type, container position on the vehicle, target location, remarks, etc.
[0065] For business processes that require the generation and printing of receipts, when the system fails to successfully execute the printing operation due to communication anomalies or other emergencies, the central control business operator will implement measures to re-print the receipt. This operation allows the central control business operator to modify the receipt information according to actual needs, including: vehicle target location, double-box operation sequence adjustment, receipt notes, etc. It should be noted that if the lane receipt printing is set to "No", this function will be displayed as "Unavailable" in the system interface.
[0066] Lane LED prompt control: The system controls the lane LED prompt content based on the vehicle release logic verification result. For vehicles that are allowed to pass, a "Welcome to enter / exit the gate" prompt is issued; otherwise, an abnormal prompt is issued to inform the truck driver of the reason for not releasing the vehicle and remind the driver to call the central control for confirmation. For abnormal prompts, the system allows the central control business operator to modify the LED prompt content according to actual needs.
[0067] Lane LED prompts may include but are not limited to:
[0068] For those who have a ticket and are allowed to pass, the LED prompts "Please take the ticket to enter the gate" or "Please take the ticket to exit the gate" according to the nature of the gate entry and exit;
[0069] For those who are allowed to pass without a receipt, the LED will prompt "Please enter the gate" or "Please exit the gate" according to the nature of the gate;
[0070] If there are abnormalities in the recognition of vehicle transport information, such as the recognized license plate number not matching the business appointment, the LED prompt will say “License plate recognition system, please call the central control for confirmation”.
[0071] For vehicles identified as non-business vehicles, the central control business operator finds through the monitoring screen of the security camera that they can reverse and leave, and changes the LED prompt to "No business, please reverse and leave".
[0072] Lane lifting and lowering control includes "lifting" and "lowering". When a non-business vehicle enters the operating lane and the system determines that "release is not allowed", the central control business operator communicates with the port management personnel to confirm that they allow release. The central control business operator can operate the [Lift Bar] button on the TOS system monitoring interface to perform remote lifting operations. When the railing of the operating lane is "lifted" and affects subsequent automated operations, the central control business operator communicates with the equipment management personnel to confirm that it meets the operating conditions, and then operates the [Lower Bar] button to perform remote lowering operations.
[0073] Recombination Figure 2 As shown, the intelligent gate lane control method of this embodiment specifically includes the following steps:
[0074] S1, Preliminary preparation: The central control business operator needs to complete a comprehensive check of the gate status in advance, including the current gate status, the current lane operation status, etc., to ensure that the lane meets the operating conditions. At the same time, configure the lane ticket printing, lane LED prompt content, etc. to meet different operating requirements.
[0075] Among them, if the inspection finds that the release barrier of the gate lane is "lifted", the central control business operator communicates with the equipment management personnel to confirm that it meets the operating conditions, and then operates the [Lower Bar] button on the TOS system monitoring interface to perform remote lowering operation.
[0076] S2, vehicle entry, lane operation status monitoring: When a vehicle enters any operating lane of the intelligent gate and passes through the "arrival" detection area, the GOS system captures the "arrival" signal and uploads the "vehicle arrival" traffic status information to the TOS system after data processing. The TOS system receives the data and monitors and displays the lane operation status in real time: updates the vehicle traffic status of the lane to "vehicle arrival", the lane occupancy status value to "occupied", and starts timing the lane occupancy time synchronously;
[0077] It should be noted that when the TOS system displays the lane occupancy status as "occupied", if the GOS system uploads the "vehicle arrival" information, the TOS system updates the vehicle traffic status of the lane to "vehicle arrival" and marks the lane occupancy status value as "abnormal", while still maintaining the original lane occupancy timing. In this case, the central control business operator needs to combine the vehicle release logic verification result of step S3 and the monitoring screen of the security camera to conduct remote manual confirmation to verify whether the vehicle is following the vehicle.
[0078] S3, vehicle identification, verification, and release control: The vehicle continues to drive and reaches the "identification" detection area. The GOS system captures vehicle and box signals according to the vehicle's carrying conditions, and uploads the vehicle carrying information to the TOS system after data processing. The TOS system receives the identification data, performs a logical verification of vehicle release, and issues vehicle release control instructions based on the verification results, including lane ticket information, lane LED prompts, etc. The GOS system receives the control instructions and performs real-time control of the ticket printing lane LED prompts, automatic lifting of the barrier, etc.
[0079] If the vehicle is not allowed to pass due to verification abnormalities, the central control business operator will remotely call the vehicle driver according to the LED prompt results to remind the driver to follow the prompts. For special vehicles, the central control business operator will communicate with the port management personnel to allow them to pass, and the central control business operator will operate the [Lift Bar] button on the TOS monitoring interface to perform remote lifting of the bar.
[0080] S4, vehicle exits the gate, lane operation status monitoring: In the case where the lane railing has been raised, if the vehicle continues to drive through the "passing the gate" detection area, the GOS system captures the "passing the gate" signal, and uploads the traffic status information of "vehicle passing the gate" to the TOS system after data processing. The TOS system receives the data, performs real-time monitoring and display of the lane operation status: updates the vehicle traffic status of the lane to "vehicle passing the gate", the lane occupancy status value to "idle", and synchronously terminates the statistics of the lane occupancy time. In addition, if the vehicle reverses out of the lane and passes through the "retreat" detection area, the GOS system captures the "reverse leaving" signal, and uploads the traffic status information of "vehicle reversing leaving" to the TOS system after data processing. The TOS system receives the data, performs real-time monitoring and display of the lane operation status: updates the vehicle traffic status of the lane to "vehicle reversing leaving", the lane occupancy status value to "idle", and synchronously terminates the statistics of the lane occupancy time.
[0081] Those skilled in the art should recognize that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the present invention, and are not intended to limit the present invention.
