TY - JOUR PY - 2024// TI - Development of computer vision informed container crane operator alarm methods JO - Transportmetrica A: transport science A1 - Yan, Ran A1 - Tian, Xuecheng A1 - Wang, Shuaian A1 - Peng, Chuansheng SP - e2145862 EP - e2145862 VL - 20 IS - 2 N2 - To reduce the extra work, the operation cost, and the risk of cargo delay induced by the unloading of wrong containers, this study first develops a container color detection model to predict the color of the container being unloaded. The prediction results are then used to develop two crane operator alarm methods.

METHOD 1 alerts the crane operator if the detected color of a container is not in compliance with the correct container color.

METHOD 2 constructs a decision problem to decide whether to alert the operator. The results of numerical experiments show that methods 1 and 2 are better than the benchmark. Specifically, method 1 can save the expected annual total cost by about 82% while method 2 can save the expected annual total cost by about 85%. Extensive sensitivity analysis is also conducted to verify the methods performance and robustness.
