Description

  The present invention relates to a pre-gate centralized management system for container terminals, in particular, centralized management of reception work for distributed container terminals, and is capable of 24-hour handling that improves the efficiency of carry-in / out receipt processing and carry-out container damage check. The present invention relates to a pre-gate centralized management system for container terminals.

Recently, a large amount of freight transportation using containers has been carried out, and it is desired to promote smooth container processing at a container terminal located at the binding point between sea transportation and land transportation.
If the work in the conventional container terminal is explained taking the container carrying-in work as an example, it is performed as follows. An attendant in the vicinity of the terminal gate receives a carry-in slip from the trailer driver, confirms that the container number written on the carry-in slip matches the actually loaded container number, and there is an abnormality in the external appearance or sealing of the container Check whether there is any damage, and then return the delivery slip to the driver. An operator in the terminal management room receives a delivery slip from a trailer driver and inputs a delivery number and a container number to the operation system. An equipment delivery form (EIR) or an instruction form in which the container loading location is described is issued from the operation system, and the operator hands the EIR to the trailer driver. The trailer driver moves to the loading place in the yard described in the EIR and unloads the container.

  In this way, the gate loading / unloading process, particularly at the container terminal, involves manual procedures for exchanging cargo / documents and checking containers. There are problems of traffic jams in the trailer used for container loading and unloading and exhaust gas exhausted from the trailer.

For this reason, information necessary for delivery of cargo is exchanged in advance using the Internet between the port carrier / shipper or sea carrier / land carrier, and the exchange time at the terminal gate is shortened. In addition, a method (Non-Patent Document 1) that promotes systematization of business by sharing data has been proposed. In addition, using the Intelligent Transport System (ITS), the procedures at the terminal gate, which had been done manually by conventional documents, are digitized, and the information exchange between the trailer, gate management room and gate staff is used by the ITS. In some cases, transmission / reception is performed using a wireless communication method, and the trailer is allowed to pass non-stop through a gate to improve the efficiency of carry-out acquisition (Non-patent Document 2).
Hakata Port Container Cargo Terminal: Japan's first “Rewrite Card / Gate System” introduction article (Fukuoka City Port Authority Port Management Planning Division: announcement material for the press on July 22, 2015) Ishikawajima Harima Technical Report Vol. 43 No. 3 (2003-5)

  However, in the above conventional method, from the viewpoint of further improving port logistics, if each terminal is to be fully opened for 24 hours, in the former case, workers are individually transferred to the gates of each terminal for data exchange. There is a case where there is a traffic jam because the cost is high and the trailers are concentrated in each terminal. In the latter case, it is necessary to install a non-stop gate system for each container terminal, which also causes a problem of high cost.

  The present invention provides a pre-gate centralized management system for container terminals that can reduce the amount of investment, realize a 24-hour response, and realize smooth distribution of terminals by centralizing distributed terminal gates. For the purpose.

  In order to achieve the above object, a pre-gate centralized management system for container terminals according to the present invention connects a terminal gate attached to a plurality of container terminals, a pre-gate shared by the plurality of container terminals, and a reservation center through a communication line. The pre-gate is provided with a central reception means for performing container reception processing by making a reservation check with a reservation center by reading data from an ID tag or other information recording means mounted on the container trailer, and the terminal gate is provided with a trailer. Reading means for performing passage confirmation processing by reading of the mounted information recording means is provided.

  In this case, the pre-gate can be provided with a receiving means by direct input to enable receiving processing of a non-reserved container trailer, or the pre-gate can be provided with a damage check inspection means for an unloading container.

  Since the reception of multiple terminals can be centrally managed by the pre-gate, the reception at the main gate of each terminal can be eliminated. Therefore, information recording means such as an ID tag (referred to as an ID tag) is used, and reception at the pre-gate is completed by collating with data reserved in advance in the reservation center (local), and the ID tag is read at this gate. In this way, confirm the passage of the trailer. As a result, centralized management of loading and unloading at the pre-gate, multiple terminal receptions at the pre-gate using the information recording means, and passing through the confirmation only at this gate are very efficient. To be high.

  By concentrating on the pre-gate, the processing can be simplified. In addition, by concentrating on the pre-gate, each terminal does not need to have the same equipment and investment is reduced. Since the number of processing lanes and the number of people can be reduced according to the bustle and quietness of the gate, a sufficient effect can be expected for 24 hours. By configuring the reservation system using the web, the container and information can be centrally managed, and the efficiency of terminal operations can be improved.

Hereinafter, specific embodiments of a pre-gate centralized management system for container terminals according to the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.
FIG. 1 is a plan view of a facility equipped with a pre-gate centralized management system for container terminals according to the embodiment, and FIG. 2 is a block diagram of the entire system.

  In the facility for port logistics using containers, a plurality of container terminals 10 (10A, 10B,..., 10F) are distributed and arranged along a plurality of roads in the port area as shown in FIG. Has been. Such a plurality of container terminals 10 are loaded and unloaded by a trailer 14 equipped with a real container 12 for import and export, and an empty trailer 16 is also loaded and unloaded for loading and unloading. .

  In the pre-gate centralized management system for container terminals according to this embodiment, a common pre-gate (hereinafter referred to as a central pre-gate) 18 is installed at a position where the plurality of terminals 10 that are distributed are most easily accessed. In 18, reception processing of a plurality of container terminals 10 which are group management targets is intensively performed. By this centralized reception process, the reception process at the gate 20 (20A, 20B,... 20F) of each container terminal is eliminated, thereby speeding up the overall reception process.

  For this reason, in the illustrated example, the centralized pre-gate 18 is arranged along the road 26 in the confluence area of the access roads 22 and 24 with respect to the container terminal 10 that is distributed along the plurality of access roads 22 and 24, respectively. Regardless of the destination terminal, it is installed at a position where reception processing can be centralized.

  The centralized pregate 18 is provided with a computer processing chamber 28 and a boothless gate system 30. The boothless gate system 30 includes a drive-through type lane device 31 that allows the driver to perform processing without getting off from the trailers 14 and 16 for gate processing, and a system capable of remote data processing in the computer processing room 28.

  In order to realize this system, an ID tag 32 and other information recording means are mounted on the container trailers 14 and 16. Information related to container loading / unloading such as container information, reservation information, and trailer information may be recorded in the ID tag 32. As specific storage contents for the ID tag 32, first, a unique ID number of the ID tag itself at the time of tag manufacture is recorded. In addition, the container-mounted chassis ID is recorded as, for example, a 5-digit chassis number such as MK001, a driver-specific ID, and the like. Furthermore, a 12-digit container number is recorded. Normally, an 11-digit container number is used, but the number of digits is increased in order to cope with the case where 12 digits are used in a special case. Then, normally one-digit reception completion data is recorded.

  In the case of the embodiment, a mechanism for inputting information such as a reservation number from an input device such as a touch panel is provided as an aid when the driver does not bring information recording means such as an ID tag and a rewrite card. Yes.

  The drive-through lane device 31 provided in the central pre-gate 18 is a device that allows a driver who has come to the reception for carrying in / out to the terminal 10 to operate without getting off from the trailers 14 and 16. Each of the carry-in lanes is equipped with a reader / writer for the ID tag 32 described above, a reader / writer for a rewrite card in place of the ID tag 32, a touch panel as an input means when no ID tag 32 or rewrite card is brought. . In addition, a computer is installed in the lane device 31, and information is transmitted to and received from the remote data processing system. This remote data processing system is installed in the computer processing room 28 and is connected to a drive-through type lane device 31 via a LAN and directly processed by the gate server 34 using input information from the ID tag 32. Some are processed by the Clark terminal 36. The gate server 34 performs data processing of information on the container 12 / trailers 14 and 16 side, such as acceptance / reception, data management, and container damage information.

  On the other hand, a management server (reservation server) 40 constituting the carry-in / out reservation center 38 is LAN-connected to the gate server 34 of the computer processing room 28. The reservation center 38 receives reservation information from a customer terminal 44 such as a shipper, a land transportation company, or a shipping company through a data communication network 42 such as the Internet.

  What is processed by the management server 40 is automatically processed when reservation information is entered in advance. If there is no reservation, Clark checks the consistency between the information from the ID tag 32 and the information in the data center. Clark adds data to the ID tag as necessary.

  The container gate pre-gate centralized management system is equipped with a unified gate system, which is configured as a system for managing gate carry-in / out information from distributed terminals. For this reason, the unified gate system exchanges data with each terminal through a wide area network using the optical cable 46. The data center 48 integrates these. The carry-in / out reservation center 38 receives data of carry-in / out reservation information through the WEB and manages the association with the ID, and performs data communication with the unified gate system. As shown in FIG. 2, the data center 48 may be merged with the carry-in / out reservation center 38 and the unified gate system, or may be distributed.

  On the other hand, in each terminal 10, an information recording means reader (ID tag reader, rewrite card reader, etc.) 50 and its recognition camera (not shown) are installed in the terminal gate 20. As a result, the terminal gate 20 automatically recognizes the information recording means (ID tag, rewrite card, etc.) and trailer car number (license number written on the number plate) held by each trailer driver without accepting processing. Pass through the gate 20.

A case where the actual container 12 is carried in for export or the like and a case where the landed actual container 12 is carried out will be described with reference to the flowcharts of FIGS.
The flow for carrying in the actual container 12 is as follows. That is, as pre-processing, a delivery reservation is made to the reservation center 38 of the data center 48 through the customer terminal 44. For this, ECD information, carry-in slip information, etc. are transmitted to complete the reservation process. After performing such a reservation process, the driver is provided with the ID tag 32 in which the carry-in data is recorded, and the trailer 14 loaded with the actual container 12 is directed to the terminal 10. The trailer 14 does not go directly to the reserved terminal, but first enters the centralized pregate 18 to perform the receiving process. The central pre-gate 18 reads data from the ID tag 32 and reads the container number and the like with an automatic recognition device and transmits it to the gate server 34 in the computer processing chamber 28. The gate server 34 collates and links the reservation information and the tag information with the reservation server 40 and performs an acceptance process. When this is completed, an instruction sheet is printed and transferred to the driver of the trailer 14, and work instruction data is transmitted from the gate server 34 to the terminal system in the destination terminal 10 and other data such as the work order. At the gate 20 of each terminal 10, the passage of the trailer 14 is simply confirmed, and the container 12 is loaded and installed at the address according to the instructions. As a result, if the trailer 14 can be confirmed at the terminal gate 20, the trailer 14 can simply pass therethrough, and traffic congestion at the terminal gate 20 is not caused.

Further, when the empty trailer 16 is dispatched to the terminal 10 and the actual container 12 is carried out, it is performed as follows. As shown in FIG. 4, the empty trailer 16 first performs acceptance processing at the centralized pregate 18. The gate acceptance process is performed at the data center 48, and when the acceptance is completed, information is written in information recording means (ID tag, rewrite card, etc.). The trailers 14 and 16 after receiving have information recording means (ID tag, rewrite card, etc.) and move to each terminal 10. The trailer that has received the container 12 passes through the terminal gate 20 and goes to the centralized pregate 18. The centralized pregate 18 checks the damage of the container 12 and then the trailer receives the EIR and leaves the centralized pregate 18.
In such a system, the above processing is further facilitated by cooperation with a carry-in / out reservation system using WEB or the like.

  The present invention can be used as a container terminal distribution system in a harbor and can be applied as a 24-hour full open system in a harbor.
