Abstract: A method for loading a container on a landing target on a land vehicle using a container crane including a trolley and a spreader for holding and lifting the container. The method is performed in a container crane control system and includes the steps of: obtaining two-dimensional images of the landing target from a first pair of cameras arranged on the spreader; performing feature extraction based on the two-dimensional images to identify key features of the landing target; generating a point cloud based on the feature extraction, wherein each point in the point cloud contains coordinates in three dimensions; and controlling movement of the container to the landing target based on the point cloud and the identified key features of the landing target.

Abstract: A method for supporting remote control of a container crane, the container crane being configured to move containers from one location to another. The method is performed in a container crane control system, and includes the steps of: receiving work order information, each work order specifying a location of a container to be picked up and a destination of the container to be placed; obtaining a first video stream of images of a pick-up location; identifying the container to be picked up in the images of the first video stream; modifying the first video stream images, which includes highlighting the container to be picked up; and presenting the modified video stream of images on a display.

Abstract: A method for automatically landing a container on a landing target using a container crane is disclosed. The container crane includes a trolley and spreader for holding and lifting the container and a crane control system for controlling movements of the container crane. A distance from the container to the landing target is measured and the container is moved towards the landing target dependent on the measured distance. A plurality of images of the landing target is made using at least one camera mounted on the spreader. The images are processed to identify one or more landing features in the images of the landing target. Distances from the container to the landing target are calculated based on a measurement of distance between the container and the landing features in the images.

Abstract: An anti-theft device (1) intended for vehicles belongs to a type, which is capable of retaining the vehicle brake in a braking condition, as long as it is activated, and which is non-interfering with the brake in an inactivated condition. The anti-theft device (1) comprises a lock rod (3) provided at one end with hook or crook (5) for gripping around a brake pedal arm (26), the lock rod (3) to a major extent consisting of a shank portion (4), which is releasably lockable within a lock housing (2), which in turn is firmly secured to the vehicle in the vicinity of the brake pedal. The shank portion (4), which is provided with a helicoidal groove (6), extends through the lock housing and through a rotatably disposed element (14) therein, the hole for the shank portion (4) through the rotatable element (14) having a helicoidal ridge (16), which is complementary to the helicoidal groove (6) in the shank portion (4) and cooperates therewith.
