A system and method for operation of an autonomous vehicle (AV) yard truck is provided. A processor facilitates autonomous movement of the AV yard truck, and connection to and disconnection from trailers. A plurality of sensors are interconnected with the processor that sense terrain/objects and assist in automatically connecting/disconnecting trailers. A server, interconnected, wirelessly with the processor, that tracks movement of the truck around and determines locations for trailer connection and disconnection. A door station unlatches/opens rear doors of the trailer when adjacent thereto,securing them in an opened position via clamps, etc. The system computes a height of the trailer, and/or if landing gear of the trailer is on the ground and interoperates with the fifth wheel to change height, and whether docking is safe, allowing a user to take manual control, and optimum charge time(s). Reversing sensors/safety, automated chocking, and intermodal container organization are alsoprovided.

    提供了一种用于在堆场环境中操作自动驾驶车辆(AV)堆场卡车的系统和方法。处理器促进了AV堆场卡车的自动运动和堆场内拖车的连接和断开。多个传感器与处理器互连,所述传感器感测堆场中的地形和物体并帮助自动连接到拖车或从拖车上断开。服务器与处理器无线互连,并跟踪AV堆场卡车围绕堆场的运动,并确定连接和断开拖车的位置。当车门站靠近拖车时,车门站解锁/打开拖车门,并通过夹具等将拖车门固定在打开位置。该系统还计算拖车的高度,和/或拖车的起落架是否位于地面,并与牵引座交互操作以改变高度,还确认是否安全停靠以允许用户手动控制,以及确定最佳充电时间。还提供倒车传感器/安全自动的止动器和联运集装箱组织。
