LAX – Automation – Kiosk Implementation – Reminder

Since the implementation of the kiosks we are seening a growing trend of drivers breaking the light curtain by entering the lane before the ASC is completely clear of the area.  When the driver does this, the machine stops for their safety and it requires a mechanic to physically go to the blocks and reset the machine.

Please stress to your drivers to wait until the light changes from red to green before entering the lane to go back to their trucks after delivery.

Step by step process for the drivers-

  •         Enter the in-gate and follow the directions on their ticket down the purple line to Automation.
  •         Go to their assigned pedestal and wait for instruction on the pedestal monitor.
  •         Once they are advised to go to their block, they must back into any available lane in that block.
  •         The drivers MUST unlock their pins before exiting the lane.
  •         Drivers now will be required to stand on the pressure mat inside the red kiosks in order to initiate their move.
  •         Drivers must stay on the mat until their container is received and the crane has gone back into the block.
  •         Please ask the drivers to quickly lock their pins and exit the lane.

We have 3 indicator lights for the drivers to follow-

Green = Truck is accessible by driver

Red = DO NOT ENTER THE LANE

Blue = The crane is bringing up the drivers container

May we ask you to advise the drivers of the upcoming changes.
