As the core of cargo distribution, the planning and layout of the weighbridge directly affects the overall transportation efficiency. Many logistics parks have problems such as weighing lane congestion and site waste due to unreasonable early planning. Based on the experience of the logistics park project, Xuzhou Speyer summarized the four core principles of multi-lane weighbridge planning to help the logistics park achieve efficient weighing.
1. Divide lanes according to model tonnage to avoid resource misallocation
The logistics park needs to deal with 50-ton light LTL trucks and 180-ton heavy trailers at the same time, and if the weighing lane is mixed, there will be a situation where light vehicles occupy heavy pounds and heavy vehicles wait in line. Therefore, it is necessary to divide the exclusive lanes according to tonnage: set up 1-2 small tonnage lanes, equipped with 50-80 tons of weighbridges to serve light trucks; Set up 2-3 large-tonnage lanes, equipped with 150-180 tons of weighbridges, to undertake heavy trailers, and reserve an emergency lane to cope with sudden traffic flow peaks and achieve accurate matching of models and weighbridges.
2. Plan one-way traffic flow to eliminate reversing congestion
Many logistics parks have to reverse frequently to adjust the weighing position due to the chaotic flow of vehicles, resulting in lane blockages. After the vehicle enters from the entrance, press the "pre-inspection area - weighing area - departure area" to pass in one direction, and set up guidance signs and anti-collision guardrails at the entrance and exit of the weighing area, and at the same time reserve a buffer distance of at least 15 meters before and after the weighbridge, so as to facilitate the smooth loading and unloading of the vehicle and completely avoid congestion caused by the chaos of the flow line.
3. Linkage intelligent scheduling system to realize dynamic lane allocation
Traditional logistics park lane fixed service specific cargo owners are prone to idle lanes and queues in some lanes. The system can automatically allocate the optimal weighing lane according to the real-time traffic flow, cargo owner type, and vehicle tonnage, such as giving priority to the allocation of expedited cargo transport vehicles to idle lanes, and at the same time supporting cargo owners to make reservations for weighing time in advance, so as to realize the dynamic and efficient use of lane resources, and the overall weighing efficiency can be increased by more than 40%.
4. Supporting auxiliary facilities to ensure all-weather operation
Most logistics parks operate 24 hours a day, and need to be equipped with complete auxiliary facilities for weighbridges. install lighting equipment in the weighing lane to ensure that the weighing line is clear at night; Equipped with an automatic car washing device to clean the dirt carried by the vehicle tires to avoid debris affecting the weighing accuracy; Set up code scanning equipment in the pre-inspection area to verify vehicle information in advance, reduce the information entry time when weighing, and ensure the efficient operation of the weighbridge around the clock.
Scientific weighbridge planning is the key to improving the transportation efficiency of the logistics park, and Xuzhou Speyer can provide integrated services for weighbridge selection and site planning in the logistics park.
