[0002] The present application relates to the technical field of freight transportation, in particular to an intelligent railway freight transport system and operation method. BACKGROUND

[0003] Railway freight transport is one of the important ways of freight transportation, which uses railway trains to transport goods, and plays an important role in the process of social material production. Its characteristics are large transportation volume, fast speed, low cost, and generally not limited by weather conditions, suitable for long-distance transportation of bulk and heavy goods. In railway freight transport, there are various types of vehicles, which can almost transport any commodity and can almost be limited by weight and volume. With the development of railway transportation industry, provinces, cities and autonomous regions basically have railways, and the technical equipment and management level have been strengthened and improved. In the present and future, it will be the main force of freight transportation in China.

[0004] The current railway freight transport is generally divided into three types: whole vehicle, less than a car, and container. Whole vehicle is suitable for transporting bulk goods; less than a car is suitable for transporting small batches of scattered goods; and container is suitable for transporting precision, valuable and easily damaged goods.

[0005] The above types of railway freight transport in the prior art need to use artificial or auxiliary devices for operation when loading and unloading goods, and the container needs to use hoisting equipment to transfer between the freight yard, truck, warehouse and train. There are many difficulties in transportation operation, and the transportation time is long. There are also problems such as inability to accurately predict the transportation time, low efficiency, need to occupy a large operation space, high cost, and cannot meet the growing needs of railway freight transport.
