Patent No. EP3538470 (titled "Radio-Location System For Determining The Location Of A Transportation Vehicle For Containers") was filed by Konecranes on Nov 8, 2017. The application was issued on Mar 13, 2024.
System for radiolocation of a transport vehicle for containers within a work area of a container terminal, comprising multiple terrestrial location marks that transmit position data, antennas that receive position data, a receiver that processes the received position data, and a navigation computer that converts the position data into driving instructions for the transport vehicle. The system enables precise positioning and orientation of the transport vehicle, such as a straddle lift truck or tractor-trailer, within the work area to prevent collisions and optimize container handling operations.
