Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of scheduling systems, and particularly to a method and system for scheduling ship loading and unloading operation instructions. Background Art

[0002] With the rapid development of the economy and the irreversible trend of global economic integration, trade between regions has become increasingly frequent. As the main carrier of bulk trade, water transportation has attracted more and more attention from domestic and foreign experts and scholars. As an important transportation hub that cannot be ignored in water transportation trade, accelerating the overall operation efficiency of port terminals and thus improving the efficiency of the entire shipping trade can bring a win-win situation for port terminals and business customers. During the entire port operation process, the berth resources at the dock front are particularly important. The reasonable utilization of berth resources can greatly accelerate the loading and unloading process of ships and improve the overall port operation efficiency.

[0003] After the ships that need to be assembled arrive at the port, they may not immediately enter the port for corresponding assembly operations due to various factors such as the port, scheduling, and the ships themselves. Generally, they will queue at anchor waiting for port central control information and can only enter the port for corresponding assembly operations after the port central control room issues corresponding scheduling information. This situation often leads to long waiting times for ships, port congestion, etc., and due to the large amount of information on ship loading and unloading in and out of the port, it will also cause problems such as excessive computing workload of the computing devices in the central control room. Therefore, those skilled in the art have proposed a method and system for scheduling ship loading and unloading operation instructions. Summary of the Invention

[0004] Aiming at the deficiencies of the prior art, the present invention provides a method and system for scheduling ship loading and unloading operation instructions, which solves the problems of long waiting times for ships in port assembly and large computing workload of the port central control server.

[0024] The following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0025] Embodiment:

[0026] As Figures 1-4 shown, the embodiment of the present invention provides a method for scheduling ship loading and unloading operation instructions, including the following execution steps:

[0027] S1: Before the ship enters the port, collect various ship entering-port information, leaving-port information, cargo information, storage condition information, etc. through the information collection block. At the same time, collect the berth information of the existing port through the berth collection module, and synchronously collect the video of the existing port through the video collection module. Then, transmit all the collected information to the analysis module;

[0028] S2: After the analysis module receives the transmitted information, analyze and integrate the information data. After analyzing and integrating the information, the analysis module transmits it to the edge gateway module. The edge gateway module analyzes and processes the basic information and existing situation of the port, and then transmits the processed information to the core allocation module;

[0029] S3: After the core allocation module receives the information data, allocate the ship's length and width, ship name, load, cargo information, etc. and the overall transportation system information. After the allocation, the information is transmitted to the central control module in the central control room;

[0030] S4: After the central control module receives the correctly allocated information transmitted by the core allocation module, it will send the information to each sub-control module according to the information of each area. After receiving the information, each sub-control module will transmit the information to the quay crane module, the assembly module, and the scheduling module respectively;

[0031] S5: After each operation module receives the operation information and it is confirmed by the staff, it feeds back to the comprehensive calculation module. The comprehensive calculation module calculates and analyzes in combination with the existing situation, and then generates various assembly information of the ship loading and unloading operation through the information production module;

[0032] S6: Each piece of information generated by the information generation module is distributed by the information transmission module to each working position in the port and the ship operators. The ship operators can then install the corresponding indication information to complete the corresponding assembly operation. After the assembly is completed, the ship can leave the port and sail.

[0033] A ship loading and unloading operation instruction scheduling system includes an information collection module, a video collection module, a berth collection module, an analysis module, an edge gateway module, a nuclear allocation module, a central control module, a sub-control module, a quay crane module, an assembly module, a scheduling module, a comprehensive calculation module, an information generation module, and an information transmission module. The video collection module is used to collect the current information of the port through camera and other video collection devices. The berth collection module is used to collect the berth situation information of the existing port. The analysis module is used to analyze and process in combination with the existing port situation. The edge gateway module is used to collect and obtain information such as the number of assembled goods of the ship and the cargo stacking space of the ship through edge network technology. The central control module is used to integrate the collected information and perform information shunting processing.

[0034] The edge computing gateway supports frequency-divided data transmission to the server, that is, the important data of the device (i.e., the data with high real-time requirements) can be transmitted to the central control system at a high frequency to ensure the real-time nature of the data. At the same time, the unimportant data (i.e., the data with low real-time requirements) can be transmitted to the affiliated central control system through low-frequency transmission. In this way, it can not only meet the user's requirements for data usage, but also ensure the real-time nature of data information transmission.

[0035] The sub-control module is used to receive various information from the central control room and execute the operation tasks for each area. The quay crane module is used to collect and send information about the ship's arrival and departure from the port. The assembly module is used to receive and execute the assembly operation information transmitted by the sub-control module. The scheduling module is used to schedule the abnormal ship assembly operations. The comprehensive calculation module is used to combine the transmitted information and perform comprehensive calculations to obtain the best solution.

[0036] The comprehensive calculation module is used to combine the transmitted information and perform comprehensive information technology processing on it. However, the data of user devices are usually scattered at different addresses. Most of the common communication collection modules are protocol pass-through, and the server processes the data protocol. Each group of variables requires a separate communication frame, resulting in a large server pressure. The edge network and cloud network have a powerful data aggregation function, which combines fragmented data into one or two frames and uploads them to the server, reducing the communication pressure by 90%, greatly alleviating the working pressure of the central control server.

[0037] The information generation module is used to generate corresponding notification information content for the information after the comprehensive calculation module has completed its analysis and processing. The information transmission module is used to transmit the information to the corresponding operation positions at the port and the vessel operator.

[0038] The information collection module consists of an inbound port information unit, an outbound port information unit, a cargo information unit, and a storage condition information unit. The inbound port information unit is used to obtain and allocate the information for the vessel's inbound port assembly. The outbound port information unit is used to obtain and allocate the information for the vessel's outbound port. The cargo information unit is used to understand the information on the cargo assembled on the vessel and the cargo to be dispatched by the port. The storage condition information unit is used to understand the existing storage condition information and the available assembly space information of the vessel.

[0039] The allocation module consists of a vessel length and width information unit, a vessel name information unit, a load capacity information unit, and a cargo information unit. The vessel length and width information unit is used to obtain and allocate the length and width information of the vessel, facilitating the allocation of the corresponding assembly operation port. The vessel name information unit is used to allocate the assembly information of the corresponding cargo and vessel. The load capacity information unit is used to allocate the load capacity information of the vessel and the information on the assembled cargo. The cargo information unit is used to understand and allocate the information on the corresponding vessel and the assembled cargo.

[0040] The data collected by the edge computing gateway from the device, after edge computing, is finally uploaded to the cloud server through the 5G network. At the same time, the data written downlink to the device is sent to the edge computing gateway through the 5G network and written into the device. In this way, the traditional local area network wiring method can be abandoned, and the data interaction between each device and the central control system can be realized quickly and efficiently. At the same time, the overall operation efficiency of the port can also be improved.

[0041] Although the embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, for those of ordinary skill in the art, it can be understood that various changes, modifications, substitutions, and variations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention. The scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
