Patent number: 12639655Abstract: A control system is for a container terminal with containers. The control system includes a server, and a terminal tractor operable within the container terminal. The terminal tractor comprises onboard tractor sensors configured to generate sensor data of at least some of the containers, a geolocation device configured to generate a geolocation value for the terminal tractor, a wireless transceiver, and a controller coupled to the onboard tractor sensors, the geolocation device, and the wireless transceiver. The controller is configured to transmit the sensor data and the geolocation value for the terminal tractor to the server. The server is in communication with the terminal tractor and is configured to generate a database associated with the sensor data, the database comprising, for each container, a container type value, a container logo image, and a vehicle classification value.Type: GrantFiled: November 30, 2022Date of Patent: May 26, 2026Assignee: All Terminal Services, LLCInventors: Mark D. Mills, Artem Davtyan, Matthew Michael McDermott, Jorge A. Perez Rincon, Christopher Alexander

Patent number: 12217183Abstract: A control system is for a railway yard with railroad tracks. The control system may include RCLs and sets of railcars on the railroad tracks. The control system may include railyard sensors configured to generate railyard sensor data of the railroad tracks, and a server in communication with the RCLs and the railyard sensors. The server may be configured to generate a database associated with the sets of railcars based upon the railyard sensor data. The database may have, for each railcar, a railcar type value, a railcar logo image, and a vehicle classification value. The server may be configured to selectively control the RCLs to position the sets of railcars within the railroad tracks based upon the railyard sensor data.Type: GrantFiled: May 31, 2024Date of Patent: February 4, 2025Assignee: All Terminal Services, LLCInventors: Mark D.
