System Introduction

Hiroshima Port Container Terminal Operating System HiDECS

The container terminal operation system, which consists of a CY operation system, yard control system, and ship planning system, allows us to check container cargo information, such as the movement status of ships and containers, cargo handling status, and customs clearance information in real time, 24 hours a day. We have also introduced a new "ETC Gate Authentication System".

ETC Gate Authentication System

By using ETC device that is mounted on chassis heads, the movement of ships and containers in and out of the yard can be automatically viewed to ensure smooth passage through the gate. In addition, cargo-handling equipment in the yard also identify vehicles that are equipped with ETC in-vehicle units to respond promptly.

Authentication Process

  • 1Shipping freight handling agent enters container information into HiDECS WEB (work order).
  • 2Marine container transporter registers vehicle and driver for work order (data entry).
  • 3Work instruction email is automatically sent to driver's mobile phone.
  • 4The gate's DSRC antenna automatically authenticates vehicles equipped with ETC in-vehicle units (no ETC card required, no need to present an ID card).
  • 5The vehicle passes through the gate, and enters the terminal.
  • 6In the container yard, cargo-handling equipment such as transfer cranes identify vehicles that are equipped with ETC in-vehicle units (no admission instructions need to be presented).
