[0027] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the embodiments of the present application clearer, the technical solution in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are 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.

[0028] In addition, the term "and / or" in this article is only a description of the association relationship of associated objects, indicating that there can be three relationships. For example, A and / or B can represent: A exists alone, A and B exist at the same time, and B exists alone. In addition, the character " / " in this article, unless otherwise specified, generally means that the associated objects before and after are in an "or" relationship.

[0029] An embodiment of the present application provides a container tracking method, and the main process of the method is described as follows.

[0030] like Figure 1 As shown, the execution steps of the method include (steps S1 to S3): Step S1, collecting basic data information of the container; The basic data information of the container is collected using a collector and a controller, and the status and location of the container are monitored in real time through the collector. The collected information is collectively referred to as the basic information of the container; Specifically, the basic data information of the collected containers includes: Collecting navigation information of the container transport ship; the navigation information includes the ship's position, speed and navigation direction; Acquiring tracking area information of the container; the tracking area information includes weather information and sea condition information; Collecting the safety information and electronic tag information of the container, wherein the safety information includes the container slippage information, tilt information and container integrity information; the electronic tag information includes the container location information; the container integrity information includes the container electronic sealing lead information; For container transportation, the safety of container loss can be tracked and monitored by the container's electronic tag, the container's electronic seal and the relevant information of the container transporting ship. The container is sealed by the electronic seal, and the initialization status of the container seal is recorded, and its opening time and location are monitored. The initialization status message includes the closed position, closing time, closing location, and physical state of the closed container; the location information of the container is read by the container electronic tag reader; the ship's position in the navigation path area is obtained in real time through the AIS ship network positioning system; the speed and navigation direction of the container transporting ship are collected by monitoring the ship's motor and rudder, and the container's path information is tracked in real time.

[0031] The issues that affect safety accidents caused by container collapse can be mainly tracked and monitored by weather information, sea conditions information, container slippage, tilt information and container integrity information in the tracking area of ​​the container; weather information and sea conditions information in the area where the container is located are collected through the AIS ship network positioning system, meteorological fax broadcasting, the global Internet and coastal radio stations; and the slippage and tilt status of the container on the deck are monitored by installing weight sensors and tilt sensors on the ship's deck.

[0032] Problems that affect container transport delays are mainly caused by factors such as the speed of the container ship and the weather in the area where the ship is located. They can also be monitored in real time using the navigation information and tracking area information of the container ship.

[0033] The basic data information of the container is obtained by packaging the navigation information of the container ship, the tracking area information of the container, the safety information of the container and the electronic tag information.

[0034] Step S2, analyzing the container location information and the container status information according to the basic data information; the container status information includes the transportation status and the safety status; In the implementation manner of the present application, the container location information is determined by monitoring the ship position of the ship transporting the container and the container position in the electronic tag of the container; and the transportation status and safety status of the container are analyzed through basic data information.

[0035] Specifically, Figure 2 As shown, analyzing the container status information according to the basic data information includes (steps S21-S22): Step S21, determining the transport status of the container based on the navigation information; the transport status includes a navigation status and a berthing status; In the implementation manner of the present application, the transport status of the container is determined by the ship position and ship speed of the ship. When the ship position is at a mooring point and the ship speed is a non-driving speed, the transport status of the container is determined to be a moored state; when the ship position is in the sea area and the ship speed is a driving speed, the transport status of the container is determined to be a sailing state.

[0036] Step S22: determining the safety status of the container based on the basic data information.

[0037] Further, such as Figure 3 As shown, the specific steps of determining the safety status of the container based on the basic data information include (steps S221 to S228): Step S221, judging whether the container has an abnormal trajectory according to the navigation information; If the container has an abnormal trajectory, execute step S222; if the container does not have an abnormal trajectory, execute step S223.

[0038] The specific steps of determining whether the container has an abnormal trajectory according to the navigation information include: determining a route and a first position of the vessel based on the container transportation information; determining a ship position of the ship according to the navigation information; Determining whether a difference between the first position and the ship position is within a first preset position threshold; If the container is not within the first preset position threshold, it is determined that the container has a first trajectory abnormality, forming a trajectory abnormality, and executing step S222; If it is within the first preset position threshold, determining whether the difference between the container position and the ship position is within a second preset position threshold based on the ship position of the ship and the electronic tag signal; If it is not within the second preset position threshold, it is determined that the container has a second trajectory abnormality, forming a trajectory abnormality, and executing step S222; If it is within the second preset position threshold, it is determined that there is no trajectory abnormality for the container, and step S223 is executed.

[0039] It should be noted that the container transportation information is preset in the container tracking method system, and the container transportation information includes the route of the specified ship. The first position is a position calculated by the current time, the average speed of the ship and the route of the specified ship. For example, the calculated first position is 10 kilometers away from the next berth, and the collected ship position is 20 kilometers away from the next berth, and the first preset position threshold is 5 kilometers. It can be determined that the container has a first trajectory anomaly. If the first preset position threshold is 10 kilometers, it is determined that the container does not have a first trajectory anomaly.

[0040] Since there may be a possibility of missing or loss during the loading process of the container, the container position is further compared with the ship position to monitor whether the container is on the ship. The first preset position threshold and the second preset position threshold can be adjusted and modified. When the container has neither the first trajectory abnormality nor the second trajectory abnormality, it is determined that the container has no trajectory abnormality.

[0041] Step S222, determining that a first abnormality exists in the container; Step S223, judging whether the container has abnormal delay according to the navigation information and the area information; if the container has abnormal delay, executing step S224; if the container does not have abnormal delay, executing step S225.

[0042] Wherein, judging whether the container is delayed abnormally according to the navigation information and the area information, the specific execution steps include two situations; In the first case, if the container is in a parking state, it is determined whether the parking time of the container is greater than a first time threshold; If the berthing time is greater than the first time threshold, it is determined that the container has a delay exception, and step S224 is executed; If the berthing time is less than the first time threshold and greater than the second time threshold, determining the navigation speed of the ship according to the tracking area information and the preset water area management regulations; Calculating the arrival time of the ship at the next berthing point based on the route and sailing speed of the ship; If the arrival time is greater than the third time threshold, it is determined that the container is delayed abnormally, and step S224 is executed; If the arrival time is not greater than the third time threshold, it is determined that there is no delay abnormality for the container, and step 225 is executed.

[0043] In the implementation mode of the present application, when berthing, it is necessary to check and scan the container to update the logistics information and status information of the goods, but usually a manual semi-automatic method is adopted, and the container delay abnormality may occur when the container is berthing. By setting a first time threshold and a second time threshold, the first time threshold is greater than the second time threshold, and the container that is not transported is monitored, and the maximum speed of the ship is determined by the weather information, sea condition information and preset area management specifications of the next navigation area, and then the arrival time of the ship to the next berthing point is estimated by the calculated navigation speed and route. When the arrival time meets the specified third time threshold, it is determined that there is no delay abnormality for the container, otherwise, there is a delay abnormality.

[0044] It should be noted that the preset regional management regulations regulate the speed of ships according to the sea areas of different regions. For example, the next navigation area is the channel waters, and the navigation regulations of the channel waters are that the speed of ships shall not exceed 20 knots / hour.

[0045] In the second case, if the container is in a sailing state, the step of determining the sailing speed of the ship according to the tracking area information and the preset water area management regulations is executed.

[0046] When the container is transported, the maximum speed of the ship is calculated according to the weather information, sea conditions and preset area management specifications of the next sailing area. The arrival time of the ship is compared with the third time threshold to monitor the delay of the container. This will not be described in detail here.

[0047] Step S224, determining that the container has a second abnormality; Step S225, judging whether the container is in an abnormal state according to the security information; if the container is in an abnormal state, executing step S226; if the container is not in an abnormal state, executing step S227.

[0048] Wherein, whether the container is in an abnormal state is determined according to the safety information, and the abnormal state includes three abnormal situations, namely, slip abnormality, tilt abnormality and integrity abnormality.

[0049] The specific implementation steps include: Determining a sliding distance of each container based on the sliding information of the container; Determine whether the sliding distance of each container is greater than a preset movement threshold; If it is greater than the preset movement threshold, it is determined that the container has a first state abnormality, forming a state abnormality, and executing step S226; If it is not greater than the preset movement threshold, it is determined that the container does not have the first state abnormality, and based on the tilt information of the container, the tilt angle of each container is determined; Determine whether the tilt angle of each container is greater than a preset tilt threshold; If it is greater than the preset tilt threshold, it is determined that the container has a second state abnormality, forming a state abnormality, and executing step S226; If it is not greater than the preset tilt threshold, it is determined that the container does not have the second state abnormality, and based on the integrity information of the container, the seal information of each container is determined; Determining whether the seal information of the container is consistent with the preset seal information; If it is consistent with the preset seal information, it is determined that the container does not have the third state abnormality, and step S227 is executed; If it is inconsistent with the preset seal information, it is determined that the container has a second state abnormality, forming a state abnormality, and executing step S226; During the transportation of containers, the containers tied to the ship deck may be affected by the weather, causing them to tilt or slide. In this case, if not handled in time, the container stack may even collapse, resulting in casualties, ship damage and other safety issues. Therefore, monitoring the tilt and slide information of the container can further improve the safety of container transportation.

[0050] By monitoring the electronic seals of containers, the integrity status of containers during transportation can be promptly known.

[0051] Step S226, determining that the container has a third abnormality; Step S227, determining that there is no abnormality in the container; Step S228, determining the safety status of the container based on the abnormal situation. In the embodiment of the present application, when the container has any of the above abnormalities, it is determined that the container has an abnormal situation, and after eliminating the abnormalities of the container one by one in the above manner, if the container has no abnormal situation, it is determined that the container is in a safe transportation state.

[0052] The basic data information includes navigation information, tracking area information, safety information and electronic tag information, which correspond to the container transportation track, delay and status respectively. The container transportation track, delay and safety status are judged in turn, and it is determined that there are no abnormal track, delay and safety status of the container, which proves that there are no abnormal situations in the container. After successively determining that there are no abnormal transportation track, delay and status, it is proved that there are no abnormal situations in the container. The step-by-step judgment steps are adopted to judge the abnormal transportation track, delay and safety abnormalities in turn. As long as there is any abnormality, it can be concluded that there is an abnormal situation in the container, realizing a comprehensive inspection of abnormal situations.

[0053] Step S3: Generate logistics feedback data based on the container location information and the container status information, and send the logistics feedback data to the management terminal corresponding to the container.

[0054] The basic data information of the container is collected to determine the location information of the container and check the status of the container one by one. The location and status information of the container are sent to the management terminal corresponding to the container in real time. In this way, the transportation status of the container can be grasped in a timely and accurate manner based on the logistics feedback data information of the container. The container can also be tracked in the blind spot of transporting goods.

[0055] Specifically, logistics feedback data includes two states; In the first state, if there is no abnormality in the container, the logistics feedback data is generated based on the container location information and the container status information, and the logistics feedback data is sent to the management terminal corresponding to the container. The specific execution steps include: Get map information; Calculate the estimated arrival time of the container based on the basic data information; Drawing a container route on a map according to the container location information and the container status information; The estimated arrival time is marked on the container route, logistics feedback data is generated, and the logistics feedback data is sent to the management terminal corresponding to the container.

[0056] It should be noted that when there is no abnormality in the container, the basic data information is usually continued to be collected. Therefore, when there is no abnormality, it is necessary to continue to execute step S1.

[0057] In the second state, if the container is abnormal, the logistics feedback data is generated based on the container location information and the container status information, and the logistics feedback data is sent to the management terminal corresponding to the container. The specific execution steps include: When the abnormal condition of the container is a first abnormality, determining a target trajectory of the transport container ship equipment corresponding to the first abnormality, generating a first alarm message, and forming alarm information; or, When the abnormal condition of the container is a second abnormality, determining a target time for the container corresponding to the second abnormality, generating a second alarm message, and forming alarm information; or, When the abnormal condition of the container is the third abnormality, determining a target container corresponding to the third abnormality, generating a third alarm message, and forming alarm information; The logistics feedback data is generated based on the warning information and the map information, and the logistics feedback data is sent to the management terminal device corresponding to the container. The warning information can be displayed on a display screen or through communication information such as text messages.

[0058] Of course, for the container site, the alarm information can also be transmitted through sound, and the specific situation is not limited. After the alarm information is generated, the staff, police or rescue personnel can handle the alarm of the container according to the alarm information, so that the abnormal situation of the container can be handled in time.

[0059] According to the alarm information, when there is a trajectory abnormality in the container, that is, the first abnormality, the target trajectory of the transport container ship equipment with equipment abnormality corresponding to the first abnormality is determined, and the first alarm message is generated. At this time, the alarm information is the first alarm message; when there is a delay abnormality in the container, that is, the second abnormality, the target time of the container corresponding to the second abnormality is determined, and the alarm information is the second alarm message; when there is a state abnormality in the smart ship, that is, the third abnormality, the target container corresponding to the third abnormality is determined, and the third alarm message is generated. At this time, the alarm information is the third alarm message. When each abnormality is determined, the corresponding ship, time, and container with the abnormality are determined respectively, thereby forming a corresponding alarm message. The alarm information is one of the alarm messages, so that the ship equipment, container, etc. with the abnormality can be quickly located according to the alarm information.

[0060] Optionally, in some embodiments of the present application, the warning information is any one of the first warning message, the second warning message, and the third warning message; after sending the logistics feedback data to the management terminal corresponding to the container, it also includes: Performing alarm processing on the container according to the alarm information; performing alarm processing on the container according to the alarm information includes: When the alarm information is the first alarm message, determining the transport container ship equipment according to the first alarm message, and performing target trajectory processing on the transport container ship equipment so that the track abnormality of the transport container ship equipment is eliminated; or, When the alarm information is the second alarm message, determining the delayed container according to the second alarm message, obtaining the customer information corresponding to the delayed container, sending a delay message to the customer terminal according to the customer information, and marking the customer information; the delay message includes the target time; or, When the warning information is the third warning message, the target container is determined according to the third warning message, and a sliding process, a tilting process, or an inspection process is performed on the target container.

[0061] When the alarm information is the first alarm message, the ship with abnormal trajectory is determined according to the first alarm message, and the container has abnormal trajectory, and the ship equipment is processed. If the direction of the ship's rudder is deviated, a reminder is sent to the terminal equipment of the shipyard in time to adjust the direction of the rudder so that the target trajectory is eliminated; when the alarm information is the second alarm message, there is a delay abnormality in the container, and the customer information corresponding to the abnormal container is determined according to the second alarm message, and a delay message is sent to the customer in time to improve customer satisfaction; when the alarm information is the third alarm message, there is an abnormal container state, and the target container is processed. If the abnormality of the container is a tilt abnormality, the maritime police can enforce the law, force the ship transporting the container to stop, or stop the ship, and then correct the tilted container. Different alarm processing is performed for different alarm messages to solve different abnormal situations.

[0062] The above is an introduction to the method embodiment. The following is a further explanation of the scheme described in this application through an apparatus embodiment.

[0063] Figure 4 It is a structural block diagram of a container tracking device 200 according to an embodiment of the present application.
