[0029] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0030] In order to make the above-mentioned objects, features and advantages of the present application more obvious and easy to understand, the present application is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods.

[0031] It should be noted that, in the absence of conflict, the embodiments and features in the embodiments of the present application can be combined with each other. Figures 1 to 7 The horizontal transportation scheduling system, scheduling method and storage medium for port terminals provided in the embodiments of the present application are explained in detail.

[0032] Please refer to Figure 1 , which is a basic structural block diagram of a horizontal transportation scheduling system for a port terminal provided in an embodiment of the present application. The horizontal transportation scheduling system 10 includes an interconnected equipment monitoring module 101, an operation control module 102 and a path planning module 103. Among them, the equipment monitoring module 101 can detect the operating parameters of each equipment in the port terminal, such as operating parameters including but not limited to operating mode and operating status. The operation control module 102 can carefully view the operating parameters of each device, and control the task allocation of each device through single or batch operations. In addition, the path planning module 103 can dynamically adjust the operating path of each device according to the locally deployed precise simulation map and operating parameters, and display the operating position of each device in real time on the simulation map operation interface, which is clear at a glance.

[0033] Combine the following Figures 2 to 6 As shown, the various components of the horizontal transportation scheduling system (Horizontal Transportation Management System, HTMS) in the embodiment of the present application are described in detail. For example, the equipment monitoring module 101 includes a monitoring unit 1011 and a feedback unit 1012. The monitoring unit 1011 can monitor the operating parameters of each device, and the feedback unit 1012 can display the current task and operating parameters of each device, such as Figure 3 As shown, the staff can query and lock the equipment that needs to be monitored and observe the operating status, so as to perform operations such as event sequence arrangement, task planning and cancellation, truck group management and scheduling, and disassembly and installation lock confirmation for the equipment according to the port transportation process.

[0034] For another example, the operation control module 102 includes a viewing unit 1021, a control unit 1022, and a detection unit 1023. The viewing unit 1021 can display the operation parameters of each device, the control unit 1022 can adjust the task allocation of each device, and the detection unit 1023 can detect the state of the operating vehicle in the device and arrange the charging task. Figure 4 As shown, the embodiment of the present application can, through the operation control module 102, carefully view the operation status, operation location, task type and other information of the Automatic Intelligent Vehicle (AIV), dynamically adjust the operation status, operation path, operation task and container truck group of the internal container truck, detect the operation vehicle status and arrange charging tasks, thereby fully meeting the uninterrupted production task requirements of the port terminal.

[0035] For example, the path planning module 103 includes a path planning unit 1031, a traffic control unit 1032, a full-field scheduling unit 1033, and a lock button allocation unit 1034. Figure 5 As shown, the path planning unit 1031 can plan and update the operation path of each device according to the operation stage corresponding to the operation parameters. For example, for an operation vehicle that is about to enter the shoreline, the path planning unit 1031 first determines whether the operation vehicle meets the conditions for direct operation or needs to wait, and then selects a waiting position or an operation position based on the judgment result. Finally, the path is updated according to the waiting position or the operation position. The staff can also manually specify the next destination position for the operation vehicle through the simulated map operation interface. The path planning unit 1031 will also calculate the path according to this destination position and send it to the operation vehicle, thereby being able to flexibly adjust the operation order and facilitate responding to emergencies. For example, the path planning unit 1031 can plan the operation path based on at least one of the A* search algorithm and the Dijkstra algorithm. The traffic control unit 1032 can allocate waiting positions and set up electronic fences for devices with conflicting operation paths. For example, the traffic control unit 1032 can determine the driving order of the equipment based on the arrival time and task priority of each device, implement alternating traffic order control, effectively manage the prohibited area, and use electronic fences to ensure the safety of equipment operation and prevent adverse situations such as collisions or interference.

[0036] The whole-field dispatching unit 1033 can select the operation vehicle from the equipment to assign tasks and adjust the closing sequence. For example, the whole-field dispatching unit 1033 can intelligently assign the operation vehicle to the most suitable task, support the efficient operation mode of loading and unloading, and flexibly adjust the closing sequence according to the actual situation on site to improve the overall efficiency. In addition, the lock button allocation unit 1034 can assign a dedicated lock button station to the ship in the loading and unloading operation in the equipment, and then use the handheld device to realize linkage control to ensure the orderly queuing and efficient execution of the lock button operation, thereby optimizing the loading and unloading process and significantly improving the operation efficiency and safety of the port terminal.

[0037] For another example, the horizontal transportation scheduling system 10 may also include a standard database, which is provided with a data access layer (DAL), public functions, and a database primary key generated by a primary key generator, so that the data access layer can be used to isolate database relevance and the public functions can be used to increase database compatibility. In addition, program code can also be used to transform stored procedures, functions, triggers, etc., so that the system is free from dependence on a specific database, thereby enhancing scalability and portability and significantly reducing maintenance costs.

[0038] For example, the horizontal transport scheduling system 10 may also include a standard external interface module, which includes an automatic guided vehicle interface, an automated stacking crane (ASC) interface, a ship to shore crane (STS) interface and a charging station interface. That is to say, through the standardized external service interface design, for example, it can realize operations such as receiving vehicle status and heartbeat signals and issuing vehicle tasks, micro-motion start and stop signals and paths, ensuring compatibility with various types of vehicle terminals, whether with the cooperation of a quay crane or an automated stacking crane, it can operate seamlessly, promote information exchange and business cooperation between different platforms, and accelerate the interconnection and coordinated development of various platforms.

[0039] For example, Figure 6As shown, it is a specific architecture diagram of a horizontal transportation scheduling system provided by an embodiment of the present application. The horizontal transportation scheduling system 10 includes a business layer, a platform layer, a connection layer and an interface layer; the business layer includes but is not limited to a fleet intelligent scheduling device, an intelligent traffic device and a monitoring device, etc., which realizes dynamic path planning and intelligent vehicle allocation; the platform layer includes but is not limited to a real-time path planning engine, a vehicle-to-vehicle and vehicle-to-road collaborative engine, and a data processing and calculation engine, etc. The real-time path planning engine can provide routes, and the vehicle-to-vehicle and vehicle-to-road collaborative engine can obtain and maintain the location information and map information of each vehicle, so that the vehicles can perceive each other's positions and the blocked areas and prohibited areas of the map. The data processing and calculation engine can control the vehicle in real time to ensure that the control information of the scheduling system can be synchronized with the vehicle end; the connection layer includes but is not limited to establishing MQTTs secure connections, HTTPs encrypted connections and 4G / 5G multi-mode communication connections, etc.; and the interface layer can provide standardized AIV interfaces, ASC interfaces, STS interfaces and charging station interfaces, etc.

[0040] The horizontal transport scheduling system for port terminals provided in the embodiment of the present application detects the operating parameters of each device in the port terminal through the equipment monitoring module, checks the operating parameters of each device through the operation control module, and performs task allocation control on each device, and then uses the path planning module to dynamically adjust the operating path of each device according to the locally deployed accurate simulation map and operating parameters, and displays the operating position of each device in real time on the simulation map operation interface. It is convenient and intuitive, can flexibly adapt to current traffic conditions, avoids long waiting times for equipment, and greatly improves the operating efficiency of the port terminal.
