[0002] Lock navigation is affected by seasonal weather, water surface fluctuations, and the vessel's laden draft. Clearance height requirements vary at different times of the year. Ship masts that fail to meet clearance height requirements can scrape against the bottom of the movable bridge and the crane's traveling beam, causing damage to lock equipment and facilities. These scraped or collided facilities also pose significant safety risks, necessitating prompt verification of their functional integrity to prevent secondary accidents.

[0003] Currently, locks lack a scientific, effective, and real-time method for monitoring and issuing alerts on the clearance height of ships passing through them, aside from ship self-inspections, planned ship height declarations, maritime security inspections, and proactive reminders and requests from lock operators. In the event of a collision, these incidents are primarily discovered by operators, through monitoring or through experience, and by nearby lock staff. This makes collecting evidence of illegal vessels difficult, and hidden dangers remain undiscovered in a timely manner.
