Then it will proceed to green channel for export. A physical inspection will be given if the cargo contains some errors. It will not be allowed to enter the terminal unless the errors are solved.

For example, Yangshan port (Offshore of Shanghai port) had introduced a 13 double-decker conveyors which can handle two 20 or 40 containers at the same time. It had improved the volume of cargos in transportation. For Shanghai port, some projects were implemented to enhance the container handling capacity. First, “Intelligent container production system” focused on the handling efficiency of the terminal by introducing the fully-automated arrangement of the container carriers, intelligent in loading and unloading of containers. Next, “Remote-control monitoring and fault alarm system” was implemented at the same time. The equipment maintenance response time had been cut down and improved the security of the container production through data interception technology and equipment software. After implementing all of these projects, the average berthing time at Shanghai port decreased by 17.38% and the failure rate fall down from 6% to
After the normalization module the request is passed on to the Protocol Validation and Analyzer module where it is matched against the semantic rules that are generated by ontological models in the knowledge base for identifying malicious content in input validation. Protocol Validation module caters to the violation of protocol specification whereas the Analyzer handles all other web application attacks. If the input content matches any of the rules the request is blocked and a log is made for the said attack. Also in protocol validation attacks, an attacker tries to send an abnormal request that does not follow the RFC 2616 (Hypertext, 2014) standards.
8.2 VERIFICATION AND VALIDATION FOR ACCEPTANCE Verification and validation testing are two important tests which are carried out on a software before it has been handed over to the customer. The aim of both verification and validation is to ensure that the product is made according to the requirements of the client, and does indeed fulfill the intended purpose. While verification is a quality control process, the quality assurance process carried out before the software is ready for release is known as validation testing. Its goal is to validate and be confident about the product or system, and that it fulfills the requirements given by the customer.
