The traffic congestion around the Tokyo Port Container Terminal has been improved in a situation where 6 hours, 8 hours, and 10 hours are rough as in the past.However, the carrier that transports land container transport has continued to improve the waiting problem, saying, "It is not good because the waiting time is less than before and it takes three or four hours."
It is said that the factors of traffic congestion at Tokyo Port are "insufficient facility capacity" and "vehicles that take cargo in the evening tend to concentrate.""Insufficient facility capacity" cannot be expanded due to the fact that foreign container cargo handling at Tokyo port continues to exceed the facility capacity, but adjacent to the city area.This is the cause.
Regarding the "tendency that vehicles that pick up cargo in the evening" are often instructed by the shipper to deliver imports in the morning, they respond to requests.
Tokyo Port Wharf GPS position information "visualization" by utilizing information
At Tokyo Port Wharf (President Hiroshi Hattori, Koto -ku, Tokyo), where foreign -trade pharers are maintained, lending, managing, and managing foreign -trade pharers, for the first time nationwide, the truck operator enters the container terminal for the first time nationwide.We have launched the necessary waiting time in real time using the location information of the dedicated GPS device mounted on the truck, and has begun to "visualize" congestion around the end.
The company thinks, "You can see the images of each terminal on the Tokyo Port Portal site, but it is necessary to find out how much you are actually waiting."I wonder if it can contribute to the delivery plan for the truck business. "
"The average traffic congestion length around the head of 2019 has been reduced by about 70 % compared to the 11th year, which has broken through 4 million TEUs for the first time in 4 million TEUs."He says he wants to work on visualization of initiatives and data.
According to the "visualization" initiatives of the congestion on the surrounding roads around the container, the trucks that enter and exit Tokyo are about 10,000 units per day, so statistically from about 1,300 units, which are statistically 13 %.With 1,500 units, a dedicated GPS terminal will be distributed to the truck company, and data such as the average time required for entering the measurement area to pass the terminal IN gate will accumulate.
The company said, "At this stage, it has not been decided how to solve the collected data to resolve the waiting time problem, but since we have just started" visualization ", we will first accumulate data.I would like to consider whether to take improvements. "
It is expected that this "visualization" initiative will be a clue to solve traffic congestion and waiting time problems, but how the land container transport providers who are active in the field think about this problem.Is it?We asked about the causes of traffic congestion, solutions, and this "visualization" initiative.
Standardization for improving Japanese container transportation efficiency, "I need to pay for it"
According to the Japanese container transport (President Yutaka Miyaju, Shinagawa -ku, Tokyo), which transports about 300,000 containers a year, "Improve traffic jams are not crowded compared to the past."It is not the case that it has improved because it has been done, but it is probably because the amount of handling is temporarily reduced due to Corona. "
"In the case of Tokyo Port, the methods are different in each terminal, and the container transport business operator must respond according to each method. If all of it is standardized, the efficiency will be improved. Also, yards.It is likely that the extension of the opening time and the priority with the role of this load will contribute to the congestion resolution, but it cannot do anything with container transportation operators. "
"Truck operators are receiving fare according to the weight and distance of the carried luggage, and this profit will secure the driver. Therefore, it is necessary to solve waiting time and traffic congestion, but we will be able to respond.As a countermeasure that can be taken immediately, we will get the price for waiting time and efficiency, and we want to do this in parallel. "
After working on the mountain transport truck, "It will not continue as it is"
President Shigemune Shishikura, President of Yamasu Transport (Chiba City, Chiba Prefecture), which transports land container transport in Tokyo Port, said, "It is still time to wait for a company that is actually dragging, but the driver's working hours.He says that he is out of line as much as possible, "he said, and said," The current situation is that we are dispatched in anticipation of being unable to assemble. "
"If you do not carry a container efficiently, you will not be the benefit of drivers and companies, so if you can work in a spare time if possible, you will be given priority and truck work will be postponed."In many cases, it cannot be controlled," he said, "In this way, it will not last in the future."
In fact, in order to improve traffic congestion problems near the Tokyo Port Terminal, each terminal will be a subtly different mechanism, and take measures against software and hardware as a whole in Tokyo.You need to go.One of the five great ports, Nagoya Port, has a "intensive management gate to eliminate traffic congestion", and according to the Nagoya Port Management Association, "traffic congestion has been resolved."Even in Tokyo Port, it is thought that it would be the key to traffic congestion and waiting time to take measures as a whole, with the efforts of "visualization" in the congestion situation on the surrounding roads around the container.Like.
Driver's voice low expectation
When the truck driver information site "Burle" asks the sea conde river about this "visualization system", "The record of waiting time is 16 hours. Recently 7 hours in Qinghai. Even if it looks, nothing has changed.I don't think it's a lot of money. "" I created a mobile email calling system, but I heard that it was a trash before it was corrected because it was full of bugs, and I heard that it is now garbage. "There was a past that started a similar system but stopped working in a few days.
In addition, a driver running in the harbor said, "The typhoon at Hakata Port is quite terrible. On a typhoon day, the port is closed and it is included for two days, so it is quite rattling due to the influence of corona."The port is less lined up compared to the past. "
