Abstract
A method, a device, and a system for parking a truck accurately in a shore crane area are provided. A vehicle controller transmits a parking request for a truck to be parked. A main controller receives the parking request and acquires real-time point cloud data by scanning one or more lanes crossed by a shore crane using one or more LiDARs. The main controller clusters the real-time point cloud data to obtain a set of point clouds for the truck and applies an Iterative Closest Point algorithm to the set of point clouds and a vehicle point cloud model to obtain a real-time distance from the truck to a target parking space. The vehicle controller controls the truck to stop at the target parking space based on the real-time distance.
