As a key component of railway freight organization technical indicators, container loading is a key factor in freight safety. Field research revealed that while the use of open wagons for container transportation is low, it has not been completely eliminated. Furthermore, ensuring that container loading on open wagons does not cause uneven loading is a challenging task. Currently, loading containers on open wagons requires on-site staff to observe the loading process. To prevent uneven loading, after loading, on-site personnel climb onto the wagon to observe and measure the distance between the edge of the container and the wagon deck. If the distance is correct, the container is correctly positioned. Otherwise, the gantry crane operator must be notified via intercom to readjust the container loading position.
