This berth instructing system includes a pager 1 to be lent to a vehicle M entering a terminal having a plurality of berths, and correspondence table data 3a, which associates the rented number of the pager 1 with the vehicle number of the vehicle M. And an empty berth for guiding the vehicle M to an empty berth among a plurality of berths
And Bath instruction data input device 2 capable of inputting the containing number data, a correspondence table storage device 3 for storing data 3a, lending pager empty berth number signal representing the free bar scan number data in accordance with Bath instruction instructing data A transmitter 4 as a transmitting device for transmitting data to be transmitted, a storage operation of the storage device 3 is controlled in response to input of the correspondence table data 3a, and a transmission of the transmitter 4 is performed in response to input of berth instruction data. And a central processing unit 5 for controlling the operation.

Of these, the pager number is used as the loan number for the correspondence table data 3a, and the registered vehicle number of the vehicle M is used as the vehicle number. Further, the central processing unit 5 reads out the pager number corresponding to the registered vehicle number of the corresponding vehicle M by referring to the correspondence table data 3a in response to the input of the berth instruction data, generates a pager number signal, and receives this. Then, the transmitter 4 transmits the pager number signal to the corresponding pager 1 together with the empty berth number signal. This ensures that bus <br/> over scan when the instruction data indicates a plurality of free berths data, free Bath number to the number of the vehicle M to be induced 1-one
In order to be compatible, at the same time allows guiding the vehicle M in multiple to separate free Bath. Further, the input device 2 is provided with predetermined keys for inputting the correspondence table data 3a and the berth instruction data.

Therefore, the operation of the berth instruction system will be described below assuming that it is applied to a distribution terminal. First, at the reception installed at the entrance of the distribution terminal or the like, the pager 1 is lent to the vehicle (truck) M that has entered. The pager 1 has a function of receiving a radio signal and displaying received information, as is well known. When lending the pager 1 to the vehicle M, the central processing unit 5 operates a key of the input device 2 so that the central processing unit 5 associates the pager number assigned to the pager 1 with the registered vehicle number of the vehicle M. The data 3a is stored in the storage device 3.

[0014] On the other hand, only material handling in distribution terminals, when it becomes necessary loading, Bath instruction data including the registered vehicle number and number of the vacant berth for moving the vehicle M to free Bath by a key operation of the input device 2 Is input to the central processing unit 5. The central processing unit 5 reads out the pager number corresponding to the registered vehicle number of the berth instruction data based on the correspondence table data 3a in the storage device 3, and outputs a pager number signal indicating the pager number and an empty berth number . The transmitted empty berth number signal is transmitted to the transmitter 4.
The transmitter 4 wirelessly transmits the pager number signal and the empty berth number signal to the pager 1. Thus, the pager 1 which is lent to the vehicle M, the desired free Bath location based on the empty berth number <br/> signal, i.e., in the example of FIG. 1 displays a No. 5 bar scan.
