Container transportation is a sophisticated mode of transportation that plays an important role in international freight transport. Railway container transportation, as an important form of container transportation organization, combines the benefits of container and railway transport and has the characteristics of safety, convenience, energy savings, environmental protection, and door-to-door transport. Container trains transport massive amounts of containers over long distances in railway container transportation systems, while trucks are used for short-distance pick-up and delivery.

Modern railway container terminals with advanced equipment, establishments, and efficient management strategies such as organizing, scheduling, operating, and so on are required to ensure rapid container transfer between rail and truck. The productivity of railway container terminals has a significant impact on transportation quality, overall efficiency, and service level of railway transportation network and multimodal transportation system.

Operation Flow:

  • 1. The central control room sends container handling instructions to the working crane.
  • 2. The instructions are delivered to the driver's cabin.
  • 3. Using the linkage table touch screen, the crane driver initiates the loading and unloading operation.
  • 4. The spreader, crane, and trolley positions are displayed on the touch screen in real time.
  • 5. The control system temporarily accepts plug-in jobs while prioritizing the ongoing job, and then performs the plug-in job after the current job is completed.
  • 6. Container positioning technology that is precise.
  • Machine vision accurately locates the container keyhole and reads the container number, after which the intelligent control system adjusts the spreader position and deflection angle to achieve accuracy locking and precision container stacking.
  • 7. The spreader, crane, and trolley positions are displayed on the linkage table's touch screen in real time.
  • 8. Because this crane is equipped with a PDS system, if the crane position does not correspond to the PDS system's indication position, the crane does not execute the command and sends out the alarm information. The crane continues to execute the handling command after the driver moves it to the system indication position. e current position.
  • 9. Programmed path planning and obstacle avoidance technology for optimizing path and obstacle avoidance.
  • 10. The use of infrared space scanning carry out real-time scanning of yard container storage situation, and updating yard stacking 3d database. Spreader is controlled by intelligent program to run along the optimal path for intelligent obstacle avoidance to ensure safe working.
  • 11. The central control room receives the completion information feedback of the crane and sends it to the database.
