Secure transport system of cargo using compound sensor {SECURE TRANSPORTATION SYSTEM OF CARGO USING COMPOSITE SENSOR}

The present invention relates to a security transportation system of a cargo using a composite sensor.

More specifically, the security measurement terminal attached to the cargo to measure the location information and status information of the cargo in real time, and comparing the status information data with the reference data to determine the dangerous cargo and the cargo to be managed; A management server that receives and stores location information and status information of the cargo from the security measurement terminal and transmits it to a control system through a communication network; And a control system for monitoring the location information and the status information data of the cargo received from the management server in real time and generating an alarm by checking the dangerous cargo and the cargo to be managed. Relates to a secure transportation system.

Logistics refers to the entire process of transportation, unloading, packaging, storage, etc., where the product is supplied from the supplier to the end consumer. Logistics security refers to the security of the whole process of logistics such as transportation, unloading, packing and storage.

The September 11 terrorist attacks in the United States confirmed the possibility of terrorism using aircraft with high logistical security. Since then, the United States has tightened logistics security regulations for all cargo entering the country, not only by air but also by terrorism by sea and road transport, which transport most of its international trade. The US's tightening of logistics security regulations has led to tightening of logistics security regulations in many countries and international organizations, which are becoming a trade barrier for logistics companies.

As a result, countries around the world are complementing logistics security systems or introducing new ones to help international logistics companies smoothly trade. In Korea, we provide continuous logistics security education to logistics companies, especially government agencies such as the Ministry of Land, Transport and Maritime Affairs and Korea Customs Service.

Meanwhile, the vast majority of illegal weapons and explosives used for terrorist purposes are carried by sea. In particular, the transportation of cargo by sea is easy to replace the contents during the transportation, the input of explosives and the input of hazardous materials during the packaging work, so it is vulnerable to security, and thus the security of marine cargo is required to be strengthened.

Korea has enacted and enforced regulations on international ships and port facilities for the domestic implementation of the International Code for the Security of Ships and Port Facilities (ISP) enacted in 2003 by the International Maritime Organization (IMO). It applies to more than 500 tons of high speed cargo ships, mobile offshore structures, international nautical vessels and related port facilities.

However, Korea has not yet established a logistical security system that integrates and manages all sections of logistics, and strengthening logistics security in such a situation leads to an increase in customs clearance delays and additional inspection costs. New logistics security systems are required.

In this regard, the present inventors proposed a secure transportation system for cargoes that can be freed from the risk of fire, explosion, and gas leakage of the cargo during transportation by real-time motorizing the status of the cargo.

Hereinafter, looking at the prior art, Korean Patent Publication No. 10-2016-0094597 discloses a transport freight management system having a real-time monitoring function. To briefly examine the contents, it is necessary to install a weighing device, an environmental sensor, and a CCTV camera in the cargo compartment of the vehicle to monitor the weight change, storage environment, and storage image of loaded cargo in real time, and to transmit / receive data detected by these devices. The present invention relates to a freight management system in communication with a management server.

The prior art relates to providing a change in weight of a cargo, storage environment, storage images, etc. in the vehicle to prevent theft or loss of the cargo and to respond quickly in case of loss, fire, explosion and gas that can occur during transportation of the cargo It does not describe the detection of spills and the possibility of real-time monitoring of cargo to predict fire, explosion and gas spills.

The sensors provided in the sensor unit 110 are not limited to the above sensors, and various sensors capable of detecting a state change factor such as explosion, fire, or alteration of the cargo to be transported may be used. Here, the state information element means elements of the state information detected by each measurement unit provided in the sensor unit 110. For example, isobutane, propane gas, and methane are the state information elements of the explosive gas measuring unit 111.

The controller 120 may determine the dangerous cargo and the cargo to be managed by comparing the status information data of the cargo detected by the sensor unit 110 with the reference data value. In addition, the location information and the status information of the dangerous goods and the cargo to be managed can be transmitted to the management server (20).

If the state information data of the cargo detected by the sensor unit 110 is greater than or equal to the reference data value, the control unit 120 determines that the dangerous goods, and if the state information data value of the detected cargo for each preset period increases, the target cargo Judging by In addition, it is not determined as the cargo to be managed only by the instantaneous increase of the value, and may be determined as the cargo to be managed if the reference data is greater than the reference data value for a predetermined time.

For example, depending on the design conditions, even if the detected concentration of carbon dioxide is measured temporarily above the reference data value, it may be a temporary operation error of the sensor unit or an instantaneous increase in the concentration of carbon dioxide. It can be judged as a target cargo.

The DB server 22 may store and manage cargo status information data received through the middleware server 21. It stores the received cargo status data in real time and stores the processed data processed, inquired and analyzed by the middleware server.

The web server 23 may provide real-time monitoring information of the cargo through the network 10. Access to the web server 23 in the control system 30 can check the real-time status information and location information of the cargo.

In addition, the management server 20 transmits the status information and location information of the cargo classified as dangerous cargo to the control system 30 so that the cargo classified as dangerous cargo can be quickly identified and processed. In addition, the management server 20 may store and manage the dangerous cargo and the managed cargo separately.

Next, the control system 30 may provide an alarm so that the administrator of the control system 30 can check if the information on the dangerous goods and the management target cargo is received from the management server 20. In particular, since an emergency situation such as a fire risk, an explosion risk, and a gas leakage risk occurs in the event of a dangerous cargo, an alarm in the control system 30 notifies the occurrence of dangerous cargo through a speaker as well as the monitor screen of the control system 30. All people in the control system 30 can be alerted to an emergency situation.

In addition, the score and graph color of the status information can be provided differently according to the risk level of the cargo status information elements. Therefore, the manager can respond quickly by intuitively checking the cargo status information in the event of fire, explosion and gas leakage.

In addition, the control system 30 may determine the presence of fire and explosion risk by combining the state information elements detected by each sensor unit 110. Even if the status data detected by each sensor is less than the reference data value, the status information elements of the cargo detected by the two or more sensors may react with each other to cause a fire and an explosion.

For example, even if the values detected by the explosive gas measuring unit 111 and the smoke measuring unit 114 are each less than or equal to the reference data value, the explosion may occur in response to each other. At this time, the control system 30, even if each state information data detected by the sensor unit 110 is less than the reference data value, the display in which the control system 30 is installed by predicting a case where a fire and an explosion may occur in response to each other It can be provided in the form of a popup on the screen.

More specifically, propane gas and isobutane may be exploded by a small spark when filled in an enclosed space, and explosives may explode by reacting compounds when a certain temperature or more is exceeded.

Thus, the control system 30, even if the status information data detected by each sensor is less than the reference data value, 1) when the status information element is simultaneously detected by the explosive gas measuring unit 111 and the smoke measuring unit 114, 2) When the status information element is simultaneously detected by the explosives measuring unit 113 and the smoke measuring unit 114, 3) The status information element is detected by the explosives measuring unit 113, but the measured data is below the reference data value, and the temperature When the temperature sensed by the measuring unit 115 is higher than the temperature at which the explosive reaction of the explosives can be provided, it is possible to provide information on the probability of explosion of the cargo.

In this case, the control system 30 may provide a graph of changes in the measurement information of the status information elements and provide the explosion probability prediction information of the cargo in a case where the explosion may occur due to the reaction of the status information elements. The explosion probability prediction information may include a probability that a cargo explodes in a current state and a reference value at which an explosion occurs due to each state information element reacting with each other.

In addition, the control system 30 can send a notification to the control room of the vessel on which dangerous cargo is loaded, it is possible to promptly take action on the vessel. Prompt action can prevent the loss of life and damage to cargo carried with dangerous goods.

5 is a flowchart of a method for secure transportation of cargo according to an embodiment of the present invention.

As shown in FIG. 5, first, the state information of the cargo is detected and detected in real time by the security measurement terminal 100 attached to the cargo during the transportation of the cargo. (S100)

Thereafter, when the state information data detected by the security measurement terminal 100 changes, the change is recorded, and when the detected state information data is equal to or greater than the reference data value, the dangerous goods are classified. (S110)

In this case, when the detected state information data is less than the reference data value, if the state information data value detected every predetermined cycle is continuously rising, it is classified as a managed cargo. (S120)

When the dangerous goods and the cargo to be managed are selected, a notification is transmitted to the control system 30. (S130)

This prevents explosions, fires, and gas spills in transit. In addition, through the real-time monitoring of dangerous goods and cargoes to be managed there is an effect that can quickly deal with the occurrence of explosion, fire and gas leakage to reduce the damage.

In addition, what was described using FIG. 1 thru | or 5 above described only the main matter of this invention, As long as various designs are possible within the technical range, this invention is not limited to the structure of FIG. Is self-explanatory.
