Title: Methods and systems for camera vision applications for perishable goods transportation visual aids to improve performance

Description:
FIELD 
     This disclosure relates generally to improving control of a transport climate control system. More specifically, this disclosure relates to methods and systems for controlling a transport climate control system for a transport unit using an image captured by a vision system. 
     BACKGROUND 
     A transport climate control system is generally used to control one or more environmental conditions such as, but not limited to, temperature, humidity, air quality, or combinations thereof, of a transport unit. Examples of transport units include, but are not limited to a truck, a container (such as a container on a flat car, an intermodal container, a marine container, etc.), a box car, a semi-tractor, or other similar transport unit. A transport unit with a transport climate control system is commonly used to transport perishable cargos such as produce, frozen foods, meat products, pharmaceuticals, and vaccines. 
     SUMMARY 
     This disclosure relates generally to improving control of a transport climate control system. More specifically, this disclosure relates to methods and systems for controlling a transport climate control system for a transport unit using an image captured by a vision system. 
     By capturing one or more images within a transport unit, the vision system can recognize a cargo from the captured images and determine the cargo being loaded and unloaded into the transport unit. A transport climate control system can adjust an operating parameter, forecast energy consumption of the transport unit, or transmit a notification according to the cargo recognized by the vision system. By continuously capturing images within the transport unit, the vision system can detect and record cargo or other items being loaded and unloaded from the transport system over time for providing record keeping, such as loading sequences, loading and un-loading time stamps, in-transit duration of time sensitive product for regulatory or product quality (e.g., pharmaceutical products), visual records for determining thief or damage, and the like. 
     Also, the one or more images captured by the vision system can be used to determine a door opening or closing event of the transport unit. By monitoring door opening and closing events with the vision system can eliminate or backup a mechanical door sensor. Mechanical door sensors can have magnetic or mechanical moving part that become less sensitive or faulty during transportation and/or at extreme temperature. Details of a virtual door sensor are described in U.S. Application No. XXX titled “VIRTUAL DOOR SENSOR FOR TRANSPORT UNIT,” (having named inventors Girija Parthasarathy and Stephanie Benson, with Attorney Docket Number: 20420.1020US01) which is incorporated by reference in its entirety. 
     According to some embodiments, a transport climate control system for providing climate control within a climate controlled space of a transport unit is provided. The system includes a vision system having an image capturing device configured to capture an image within the climate controlled space, and an image recognition system communicatively connected with the image capturing device. The system is configured to analyze the captured image to obtain analyzed image data, and determine an instruction based on the analyzed image data for adjusting operation of the transport climate control system or the transport unit; the transport climate control system configured to provide climate control within the climate controlled space; and a controller configured to execute the determined instruction to adjust operation of the transport climate control system or the transport unit. 
     According to some embodiments of the transport climate control system, the image recognition system is configured to recognize a door being opened or unlatched by detecting a visual aid that provides an amplified visual indicator. 
     According to some embodiments of the transport climate control system, the determined instruction includes an adjustment instruction to adjust an operating mode or an operating parameter of the transport climate control system according to a cargo recognized from the analyzed image data or a logistic planning and distribution system, 
     According to some embodiments of the transport climate control system, the determined instruction includes a recommendation instruction to recommend repositioning of a cargo recognized from the analyzed image data within the climate controlled space. 
     According to some embodiments of the transport climate control system, the determined instruction includes a notification instruction to transmit a notification for a door being opened or closed, a mismatch, or an unsecured item. 
     According to some embodiments of the transport climate control system, the mismatch includes the cargo recognized from the captured image being loaded or unload to a wrong zone of the climate controlled space or at a wrong location. The wrong zone is determined by comparing the cargo against a bill of lading, and the wrong location is determined by a location information provided by a telematics system and a correct loading or unloading location provided by the logistic planning and distribution system communicatively connect to the transport climate control system. 
     According to some embodiments of the transport climate control system, the determined instruction includes a transport unit instruction to operate a transport unit device. 
     According to some embodiments, a method of controlling a transport unit with a transport climate control system that provides climate control within a climate controlled space of the transport unit is provided. The method includes an image capturing device capturing an image within a climate controlled space; analyzing the captured image by an image recognition system communicatively connected with the image capturing device to obtain analyzed image data; determining an instruction based on the analyzed image data for adjusting operation of the transport climate control system or the transport unit; and a controller executing the determined instruction to adjust operation of the transport climate control system or the transport unit. 
     According to some embodiments of the method, analyzing the captured image includes recognizing a door being opened or unlatched by detecting a visual aid that provides an amplified visual indicator. 
     According to some embodiments, the method includes adjusting an operating mode or an operating parameter of the transport climate control system according to a cargo recognized from the analyzed image data or a logistic planning and distribution system. 
     According to some embodiments, the method includes recommending repositioning of a cargo recognized from the analyzed image data within the climate controlled space. 
     According to some embodiments, the method includes transmitting a notification for a door being opened or closed, a mismatch, or the unsecured item. 
     According to some embodiments of the method, analyzing the captured image includes recognizing a visual aid in the captured image. 
     According to some embodiments of the method, the mismatch includes the cargo recognized from the captured image being loaded or unload to a wrong zone of the climate controlled space or at a wrong location. The wrong zone is determined by comparing the cargo against a bill of lading, and the wrong location is determined by a location information provided by a telematics system and a correct loading or unloading location provided by the logistic planning and distribution system communicatively connect to the transport climate control system. 
     According to some embodiments of the method, the unsecured item is determined by the lack of a recognized securement in the captured image. 
     In another embodiment, a load quality can be determined or obtained with a vision system. A load quality of a cargo can be one or more factors that determine energy consumption of the transport climate control system due to the cargo being loaded or unloaded from the climate controlled space. For example, a quality can include the size, weight, temperature, heat capacity, environmental conditions required, and the like. The vision system can determine one or more of the qualities directly using its image recognition system or indirectly from a database indexed to a detected cargo or visual aid. A vision system including a thermal camera can determine the temperature, heat capacities, energy consumptions, and other related load qualities. The climate control system can extrapolate the energy consumption when the load quality is unknown by perturbing the climate control system and monitoring the response with environmental condition sensor(s), the thermal camera, and the like. Alternatively, the load quality can be estimated using pull-down data or other predetermined estimating models to predict the energy consumption due to a particular cargo. The transport climate control system can aggregate the load quality determined from image data captured by camera and other energy consumption forecasts obtained for other methods to generate an overall energy consumption forecast for the climate control system. The vision system can further determine available space within the climate controlled space, for example, by detecting the size of the loaded cargo. The vision system can determine a loaded cargo blocking an air vent by predetermining an area within a view of a camera being blocking the air vent and detecting a cargo is placed in the predetermined area. The vision system can instruct repositioning cargo based on the determined load quality. For example, the vision system can determine a cargo that needs additional cooling using the thermal camera and acquired environmental condition requirements for storing the cargo. An instruction can be transmitted to an operator based on determination and suggest moving the cargo to a location in the climate controlled space with stronger cooling capacity, for example, at the air vent. The vision system can determine uneven conditioning using, for example, the image data captured by a thermal camera within the climate controlled space and redirect a damper on an air vent. The damper can be driven by a motor controlled by a control signal generated according to the instruction.

     As discussed in more detail below, the transport climate control system  355  can include a vision system (e.g., the vision system  710  shown in  FIG.  7   ) that includes one or more image capturing devices (e.g., the image capturing devices image capturing devices  425 ,  426 ,  435 ,  436 ,  715  shown in  FIGS.  2 - 4  and  7   ) for capturing images within or outside of the intermodal container  350 . 
       FIG.  2    is a top view from the interior of a transport unit  400 , according to an embodiment. For illustrative purposes, the top view omits a roof of the transport unit  400  to show the layout inside the transport unit  400  from above. A transport climate control system  405  can provide climate control within a climate controlled space  410  of the transport unit  400 . The transport climate control system  405  can be, for example, the transport climate control system  105 ,  155 ,  210 ,  275 , or  355  as shown and described in  FIGS.  1 A-E . The climate controlled space  410  can be, for example, the climate controlled space  110 ,  160 ,  225 ,  300 , or  358  shown in  FIGS.  1 A-E . 
     The transport unit  400  includes a back wall  400 A, a first side wall  400 B, a front wall  400 C, and a second side wall  400 D, along with a floor  400 E and a celling (not shown), enclosing the climate controlled space  410  and isolating the climate controlled space  410  from the ambient conditions outside the climate controlled space  410 . In an embodiment, the walls  400 A-D, the floor  400 E, and the roof can provide structural integrity for the transport unit  400 . In another embodiment, the walls  400 A-D, the floor  400 E, and the roof can provide a mounting surface for a climate control unit (CCU, not shown). For example, the walls  400 A-D, the floor  400 E, or the roof can be the rooftop  120  or the front wall  170 ,  230 , or  315  shown in  FIGS.  1 A- 1 D . 
     A bulkhead  400 F can be disposed in the transport unit  400  for dividing the climate controlled space  410  into a plurality of zones. The bulkhead  400 F can be a divider installed vertically to the floor  400 E separating the climate controlled space  410  into two or more zones. For example, the bulkhead  400 F can be a physical barrier to restrict any unsecured items from moving from one zone to anther zone of the climate controlled space  410 . For another example, the bulkhead  400 F can separate the conditioned air in a first zone  410 A from a second zone  410 B where the climate control parameter(s) of the first zone  410 A can be different from the climate control parameter(s) of the second zone  410 B. In an embodiment, a climate control parameter can be referred to as an operation parameter. 
     In one embodiment, the bulkhead  400 F can be, for example, the wall(s)  310  as shown and described in  FIG.  1 D . It is appreciated that the wall(s)  310  and the bulk head  400 F are illustrated in  FIGS.  1 D and  2    to be vertically separating the climate controlled space into two or more zones. However, the wall(s)  310  and the bulk head  400 F are not limited to a vertical orientation and can be installed in any orientation, shape, and/or contour to isolate a zone within the climate controlled space  410 . 
     The transport unit  400  includes one or more openings for loading and unloading cargo into and out of the climate controlled space  410  or a zone  410 A,  410 B of the climate controlled space  410 . A closing mechanism can be disposed over each of the one or more openings. The one or more openings can be disposed on one or more of the walls  400 A-D, the floor  400 E, the roof, a bulk head, a dividing wall and the like. The closing mechanism can be a swing door, a roll up door, a hatch, or the like, configured to be opened and closed over its corresponding opening(s). As illustrated in  FIG.  2   , the closing mechanisms can be a roll up door  420  disposed over an opening on the back wall  400 A and a swing door  430  disposed over an opening on the side wall  400 B. 
     The transport climate control system  405  includes multiple image capturing devices  425 ,  426 ,  435 ,  436  for collecting image data, such as photos or videos, of the climate controlled space  410 . For example, the image capturing devices  425 ,  426 ,  435 ,  436  can be configured to capture image data within the climate controlled space  410 , within a zone  410 A, B within the climate controlled space  410 , of a closing mechanism (e.g.,  420 ,  430 ), and the like. In an embodiment, the image capturing devices  425 ,  426 ,  435 ,  436  can be configured to capture image data over a predetermined area outside the climate controlled space  410 . While the transport climate control system  405  includes a plurality of image capturing devices  425 ,  426 ,  435 , or  436 , it will be appreciated that in other embodiments the number of image capturing devices can vary from a single image capturing device to any number of image capturing devices. 
     The image capture devices  425 ,  426 ,  435 ,  436  can be one or more cameras disposed onto or into a physical structure of the climate controlled space  410 . The image capture devices  425 ,  426 ,  435 ,  436  can be configured to capture an image in visible light, the dark, infrared (e.g., thermal imaging camera), or the like. For example, an image capture device for capturing image data in visible light conditions can be configured to capture image data during daylight or with auxiliary lighting system illuminating the camera view. An image capture device for capturing image data in the dark can be, for example, a night vision camera that capture image data in little or no visible light. An image capture device for capturing an infrared image can be, for example, a thermal image camera that can capture temperature data on the surface of objects within the camera view. As illustrated in  FIG.  2   , each of the image capturing devices  425 ,  426 ,  435 ,  436  can be a camera. It is appreciated that the image capturing devices  425 ,  426 ,  435 ,  436  are not limited to cameras or recorders with a fixed rectangular view. For example, each of the image capturing devices  425 ,  426 ,  435 ,  436  can be a camera with a wide-angle-lens, a  360  camera, a camera mounted on a motorized base, and the like. It is further appreciated that two or more of the image capturing devices  425 ,  426 ,  435 , or  436  can be combined into less camera(s) by covering the camera views of two or more camera using less camera(s), for example, by using a camera with a wider viewing angle. The image data captured by the image capturing devices  425 ,  426 ,  435 ,  436  can be transmitted to a vision system for analysis as discussed in more detail below. 
     The image capturing device  425  can be disposed on the roof of the climate controlled space  410 . The image capturing device  425  can be configured to capture image data of a predetermined area within the climate controlled space  410  near the roll up door  420  so that any cargo loaded into or unloaded from the climate controlled space  410  through the roll up door  420  can be captured or recorded by the image capturing device  425  as image data. 
     In an embodiment, the image capturing device  425  for monitoring the roll up door  420  can also be disposed anywhere within or outside the climate controlled space  410  so long as the image capturing device  425  can capture the image data of cargos being loaded into and unloaded from the climate controlled space  410  via the roll up door  420 . In another embodiment, the image capturing device  425  for the roll up door  420  can be mounted on the roof of the climate controlled space  110  adjacent to roll up door  420  with a camera view of at least a portion of the opening covered by the roll up door  420 . The camera view of the image capturing device  425  can be larger than the opening covered by the roll up door  420  so that one or more visual aids can be captured within the view. A visual aid can improve detection or determination reliability and/or accuracy of a vision system. The visual aid(s) can be a marking or devices disposed on the wall nears the roll up door, a door frame, or a roll up door hardware (i.e. rails, tracks, switches, locking lever, etc.). In yet another embodiment, the image capturing device  425  is configured to capture an area  425 A within the roll up door  420  where image data of cargos being loaded and unloaded through the roll up door  420  can be captured by the image capturing device  425 . 
     In the illustrated embodiment, the image capturing device  426  can be disposed on or near the roof and the corner formed between the second side wall  400 D and the bulk head  400 F. The image capturing device  426  is configured to capture image data within an area  426 A that occupies at least a portion of the climate controlled space  410  closer to the roll up door  420 . Cargo can be stored within the area  426 A. In an embodiment, the image capturing device  426  can be configured to capture image data of the opening covered by the roll up door  420 . 
     In the illustrated embodiment, the image capturing device  435  can be mounted on or embedded within the roof of the climate controlled space. The image capturing device  435  can be configured to capture image data of a predetermined space within the climate controlled space  410  near the swing door  430  so that any cargo loaded into or unloaded from the climate controlled space  410  through the swing door  430  can be captured or recorded by the image capturing device  435  as image data. It is appreciated that the image capturing device  435  for monitoring the roll up door  430  can also be disposed anywhere within or outside the climate controlled space  410  so long as the image capturing device  435  can capture the image data of cargo being loaded into and unloaded from the climate controlled space  410  via the swing door  430 . 
     In an embodiment, the camera image capturing device  435  for the swing door  430  is mounted on the roof of the climate controlled space  110  adjacent to the swing door  430  with a camera view of at least a portion of the opening covered by the swing door  430 . The view of the image capturing device  435  can be larger than the opening covered by the swing door  430  so that one or more visual aids can be captured within the view. The one or more visual aids can be a marking or devices disposed on the wall nears the swing door  430 , a door frame, or swing door hardware (i.e. opener, locking lever, etc.). In an embodiment, the image capturing device  435  is configured to capture an area  435 A within the climate controlled space  410  near the swing door  430  where image data of cargo being loaded and unloaded through the swing door  430  can be captured by the image capturing device  435 . 
     In the illustrated embodiment, the image capturing device  436  can be disposed on or near the roof and the corner formed between the second side wall  400 D and the front wall  400 C. The image capturing device  436  is configured to capture image data within an area  436 A that occupies at least a portion of the climate controlled space  410  closer to the swing door  430 . Cargo can be stored within the area  436 A. It is appreciated that the image capturing device  436  can be configured to capture a larger or smaller area than the illustrated area  436 A in  FIG.  2   . For example, the camera  436 A can be configured to capture the areas  436 A and  426 A in an embodiment without the bulk head  400 F. 
     It is appreciated that the areas  425 A,  426 A,  435 A, and  436 A captured by their respective image capturing devices  425 ,  426 ,  435 ,  436  can overlap with each other. Overlapping areas may provide image data that improves detection and determination accuracy. It is further appreciated the camera can be oriented to any direction that is suitable to capture useful image data. For example, one or more cameras can be oriented downwards toward the floor to capture image data of the top of the cargo, and one or more cameras can be oriented sideway to capture image data of the side of the cargo. 
       FIG.  3    is an interior view of the back wall  400 A from inside the transport unit  400 . The back wall  400 A includes the roll up door  420  that can be opened in a vertical direction. In this embodiment, the image capturing device  425  is mounted over the roll up door  420  and on the roof (not shown) so as to view at least a portion of the opening covered by the roll up door  420 . In another embodiment, the image capturing device  425  can capture the area  425 A as shown and described with respect to  FIG.  2   . In another embodiment, the image capturing device  425  can be configured to capture a visual aid  421 . 
     The visual aid  421  includes a first visual aid  421 B disposed on the back wall  400 A and a second visual aid  421 A disposed on the roll up door  420  to improve detection or determination reliability and/or accuracy of a vision system that detects or determines whether the roll up door  420  is opened or closed based on the captured image data. The visual aid  421  can be a visually distinctive feature with shape, color, and/or illuminating property that is more accurately detectable by a vision system analyzing the captured image data from one or more of the image capturing devices  425 ,  426 ,  435 , or  436  (shown in  FIG.  2   ). 
     In an embodiment, the visual aid  421  can be an illuminating material installed onto the roll up door  420  and the back wall  400 A. In some embodiments, the illuminating material can emit light by reflection, fluorescence, chemical reaction, or the like. In some other embodiments, the illuminating material can be one or more light bulbs (e.g., one or more LED light units) emitting light by converting electrical energy to light. The visual aid  421  can help indicate whether the door  420  has been closed or remains open. For example, the visual aid  421 A can be a door mark and the visual aid  421 B can be a wall mark disposed in horizontal alignment. When the roll up door  420  is opened or partially opened, the door mark  421 A and the wall mark  421 B are configured to misalign. The vision system can detect relative locations between the door mark  421 A and the wall mark  421 B and determine whether the two marks  421 A,  421 B are aligned or not. It is appreciated that the illustrated visual aid  421  consists of two marks  421 A and  421 B aligned with each other in the horizontal direction. However, the visual aid  421  can be in any form that indicates the roll up door  420  is closed or not. For example, the visual aid  421  can include two marks offset by a predetermined distance from each other, can include one mark to be compare to another visual feature or relative position within the field of view of a camera, and the like. 
     In some embodiments, the roll up door  420  can be powered by an actuator  420 A disposed on the back wall  400 A. The actuator  420  can include one or more connection parts and one or more power sources to open or close the roll up door  420 . The connection parts can include, for example, one or more gears and chains configured to move the swing door  430  with the one or more power source. For example, the one or more power sources can be one or more motors. In some embodiments, the actuator  420 A can be disposed above the roll up door  420  or on a side nears the top of the roll up door  420 . 
       FIG.  4    is an interior view of the first side wall  400 B from inside the transport unit  400 . The first side wall  400 B includes the swing door  430  with a door handle  432  for opening and closing the swing door  430  by an operator. In this embodiment, the image capturing device  435  is mounted over the swing door  430  and on the roof (not shown) so as to view at least a portion of the opening covered by the swing door  430 . In another embodiment, the image capturing device  435  can be configured to capture the area  435 A as shown and described with respect to  FIG.  2   . In another embodiment, the image capturing device  435  can be configured to capture a visual aid  431 . 
     In the embodiment shown in  FIG.  4   , the visual aid  431  is disposed on the first side wall  400 B and/or the swing door  430  to improve detection or determination reliability and/or accuracy of a vision system that detects or determines whether the swing door  430  is opened, closed but unlatched, or closed and latched based on the captured image data. In some embodiments, the visual aid  431  can be a visually distinctive feature with shape, color, and/or illuminating property that is more accurately detectable by a vision system analyzing the captured image data from one or more of the image capturing devices  425 ,  426 ,  435 , or  436  (shown in  FIG.  2   ). In some other embodiments, the visual aid  431  can amplify a small feature, such as a small gap or protrusion, making them more reliably detectable by the vision system. 
     In an embodiment, the visual aid  431  can be a door flag installed onto the swing door  430  and the first side wall  400 B. The visual aid  431  can help indicate whether the swing door  430  has been closed and/or latched. 
     In some instances, a small gap or an unlatched door may not be reliably observable by a vision system that looks for a gap between the door and the frame, for example, by detecting a light seepage through the gap. For example, an unlatched door or a closed door with a very small gap may not be reliably detectable from a captured image. Further, some doors with rubber gaskets, when closed but unlatched, may not create a gap that allows light seepage. This is because, when the door is closed but unlatched, the undepressed gasket may fill any gap between the door and the frame thereby creating no observable gap that can be reliably detected by a vision system. Accordingly, an unlatched door can be difficult to detect using a vision system. 
     In some embodiments, the visual aid  431  can improve detection accuracy by creating an amplified visual indicator for the vision system to capture and analyze. In some embodiments, the visual aid  431  can create the amplified visual indicator via a levering system that using a feature on the swing door  430  as a pivoting point or a mover in the levering system. 
     In the illustrated embodiment, the visual aid  431  includes a door flag  431 A attached to the swing door  430  and a wall flag  431 B attached to the first side wall  400 B. The door flag  431 A can be a block protruding and/or extending from the swing door  430  so that the image capturing device  435  can view the swing door  430  and the door flag  431 A from above. When the swing door  430  is not fully closed or closed but unlatched, the swing door  430  can be slightly protruding from the wall  400 B on an interior face  400 B 1  (indicated in  FIG.  5   ) of the wall  400 B. While the slight protruding may be difficult to be reliably detected in a captured image by a vision system, the door flag  431 A and/or the wall flag  431 B can create an amplified visual indicator for more reliable detection. 
     In some embodiments, the amplified visual indicator can be a gap between the door flag  431 A and the first side wall  400 B. A gap outside the door can be more reliably detectable, for example, because the gap can be unaffected by any potential door gaskets. In an embodiment, the door flag  431 A can include an end  431 A 1  pointing away from the swinging edge  430 B of the swing door  430 . The door flag  431 A attaches to the swing door  430  and extends beyond a swinging edge  430 B of the swing door  430 . The gap between the door flag  431 A and the first side wall  400 B is larger than any gap on the door because the end  431 A 1  of the door flag  431 A is further away from the hinge edge  430 A. 
     In some embodiments, the door flag  431 A and the wall flag  431 B can be disposed in alignment from the view of the image capturing device  435  when the swing door  430  is closed and/or latched. When the swing door  430  is not fully closed or unlatched, the door flag  431 A is swung away from the first side wall  400 B with the swing door  430  thereby creating a misalignment between the door flag  431 A and the wall flag  431 B. The image capturing device  435  can be configured to capture the misalignment from above. In some embodiments, the misalignment can be intermittent. For example, an intermittent misalignment can include detecting a door switching frequently between misalignment and correct alignment (e.g., a door being properly closed or latch). For example, switching frequently can be switching between detected misalignment and correct alignment over a predetermined number of times over a predetermined amount of time. For example, the predetermined number of times can be, but not limited to,  5 ,  10 ,  15 ,  20 , times, or the like. For example, the predetermined amount of time can be, but not limited to, 1, 2, 3, 5 minutes, or the like. The image capturing device  435  can be configured to capture the intermittent misalignment. 
     In another embodiment, the swing door  430  can be painted or illuminated in a first color and the second side wall  400 B can be painted or illuminated in a second color. The color detected by the image capturing device  435  or any other image capturing devices can be used to determine whether the swing door  430  is closed or not by determining whether a gap is detected between the two blocks of colors. The illumination of different colors can be achieved, for example, by colored LED lights. 
     It is appreciated that the door flag  431 A is illustrated to be protruding beyond the edge of the door. However, the door flag  431 A can be configured to be contained within the edge of the swing door  430  in the viewing direction of  FIG.  4   . It is further appreciated that the door flag  431 A and the wall flag  431 B can be one or more integrated or detachable components from the swing door  430  and the second side wall  400 B, respectively. 
     In some embodiments, the swing door  430  can be powered by an actuator  440  disposed on the second side wall  400 B. The actuator  440  can include one or more connection parts and one or more power sources to open or close the swing door  430 . In some embodiments, the actuator  440  can be disposed on the hinge edge  430 A side of the swing door, on the swinging edge  430 B side, or both. above the roll up door  420  or on a side nears the top of the roll up door  420 . 
     In some embodiments, curtains can be installed over a door way of the roll up door  420  (shown in  FIG.  3   ) or the swing door  430 . In some embodiments, the curtains can be known as strips or rear curtains. The curtains can be elongated vertical strips that are formed of a rubber material and configured to reduce convective air movement across the door way while the roll up door  420  or the swing door  430  are open. Thus, the curtains, when properly installed, can reduce the overall energy consumption of the climate control system. However, the curtains can be misused or damaged over time, decreasing their effectiveness in reducing energy consumption of the transport climate control system. For example, the curtains can be clipped to a side of the door frame or cut off, reducing its effectiveness in reducing convective air flow across the door way. In some embodiments, the curtains can be transparent or semitransparent, which can be difficult for vision system to detect and determine the presence of the curtains efficiently and accurately. For improving detection accuracy of the curtains, one or more visual aids can be disposed on the curtains. In some embodiments, the visual aid(s) can be a distinctive color and/or have a predetermined illuminating property. The visual aid(s) can be a painted strip, a sticker, or the like. In some embodiments, the visual aid(s) can be disposed on predetermined locations on the curtains, so that, when the curtains are properly draped over the door way, the visual aid(s) form one or more predetermined shapes or patterns. For example, the predetermined shape can be a square or a circular shape of a predetermined size that can be captured by, for example, the image capture device  425 ,  435 . For example, a pattern can be a zig zag pattern across the curtains. The pattern can be alternative color or shapes disposed according to a predetermined order. Generally, the vision system can analyze a captured image to detect a predetermined geometric shape and/or pattern more accurately and efficiently than analyzing a captured image to detect a transparent or semitransparent feature. By disposing visual aid(s) on the curtains, a vision system can detect defective curtains more accurately, reducing energy consumption of transport climate control system. 
       FIG.  5    is a view from the image capturing device  435 , according to an embodiment. As shown in  FIG.  5   , the first side wall  400 B includes the swing door  430  and a visual aid  531 . The swing door  430  opens into the climate controlled space  410 . The swing door  430  is configured to be opened and closed around a door hinge  550 . The visual aid  531  includes a door flag  531 A and a wall flag  531 B. In one embodiment, the visual aid  531 , the door flag  531 A, and the wall flag  531 B can be the visual aide  431 , the door flag  431 A, and the wall flag  431 B as shown and described in  FIG.  4   . 
     In one embodiment, the door flag  531 A is a levering system that includes a pivoting point  540  for allowing the door flag  531 A to pivot around the pivoting point  540 . The pivoting point  540  connects a long arm  531 A 1  and a short arm  531 A 2 . The pivoting point  540  can be, for example, a mechanical hinge. When the swing door  430  is fully closed, the swing door  430  can pivot the door flag  531 A into a predetermined pivotal position. The vision system can determine whether the swing door  430  is closed by analyzing an image captured by the image capturing device. The image can be of the door flag  531 A being disposed at the predetermined pivotal position relative the field of view of the image capturing device  435  and/or to the wall flag  531 B. When the swing door  430  is not fully closed or latched, the swinging edge  430 B can act as a mover of the door flag  531 A by pushing the long arm  531 A 1  and pivoting the door flag  531 A away from the predetermined pivotal position. Accordingly, the swing door  430  can move the long arm  541 A 1  of the door flag  431 A, creating an amplified visual indicator for the vision system to capture and analyze. 
     In yet another embodiment, one or more of the image capturing devices  425 ,  426 ,  435 , or  436  can be configured to detect lighting contrast over a gap on the back wall  400 A, or between the second side wall  400 B and the swing door  430 , which indicated the roll up door  420  or the swing door  430  is opened. For example, when the climate controlled space is lighted and the ambient is dark, a gap darker than the wall would indicate a door is opened. Further, when the climate controlled space is dark, a gap brighter than the wall would indicate a door is opened. 
       FIG.  6    is a perspective view of a cargo  610 , according to an embodiment. The cargo  610  can be loaded or unloaded into the climate controlled space  410  (shown in  FIG.  2   ). For example, the cargo  610  can be any good or product(s) being transported in the transport climate unit  400 . The cargo  610  can have different temperature, humidity, airflow, or other environmental condition requirements depending on the content of the cargo  610  or the requirements from the cargo owner. For example, a cargo  610  containing wheat or grain can require a predetermined range of temperature and humidity to be maintained in the climate controlled space  410  during transportation. In another example, a cargo  610  containing pharmaceuticals can require an ultra-low temperature of, for example, −80 degree Celsius or below in the climate controlled space  410  during transportation. 
     The cargo  610  can be a packaged product with one or more visual aids. The cargo  610  can be a box/crate or a stack of boxes/crates containing products. The visual aid can be a company logo  620 , texts printed on a packaging  625 , a barcode  630 , a QR code  640 , or other identifiable and differentiating features on the packaging. The visual aid can be printed directly on the cargo  610 . In an embodiment, the visual aid logo  620 , texts  625 , barcode  630 , QR code  640  or combination thereof can indicate the content of the cargo  610  or a key indexed to environmental condition requirements during transportation. For example, a vision system can analyze the captured image data can recognize a visual aid obtaining a key. A control system can use the key to determine the content of the cargo  610  by, for example, looking up the environmental condition requirements indexed to the obtained key. The environmental condition requirements requirement can include temperature requirement, humidity requirement, air flow requirements, timing requirement, and/or other information related to transportation of the cargo  610 . In an embodiment, the library containing environmental condition requirements index to keys can be one or more database saved in a logistic planning and distribution system. 
     In an embodiment, the visual aid can be attached to the cargo  610 . Attachable visual aids can be useful, for example, when wrapping is applied to the cargo  610  and anything printed or attached directly on the cargo  610  is no longer readily visible or robustly detectable by a vision system via captured image data. In another embodiment, the visual aid can be associated with an instruction to execute a program. For example, the visual aid associated with a timer can trigger an instruction of starting or ending a timer in the telematics system or on a user device. The timer can be useful for fleet management, record keeping for time sensitive cargo, and the like. 
     The cargo  610  can be disposed on a pallet  660  so that the cargo  610  can be efficiently moved by a forklift or a pallet jack. One or more visual aids  650  can be disposed on the pallet  660  for improving detection or determination reliability and accuracy of a vision system. The visual aid  650  can be one or more visually distinctive feature with shape, color, and/or illuminating property that is more accurately or efficiently detectable by a vision system analyzing the captured image data from one or more of the image capturing devices  425 ,  426 ,  435 , or  436  (shown in  FIG.  2   ). In an embodiment, the cargo  610  can be disposed in other containers such as a crate, a barrel, special designed moving container, and the like. The visual aid for the pallet  660  or other containers can be painted with color or combination of color blocks or strips to be detected more accurately by the vision system. In an embodiment, the visual aid(s) on the pallet  660  or other containers can provide a key correlated to transportation requirements of the cargo. In another the visual aid(s) on the pallet  660  or other containers, can be correlated to the pallet  660  or other containers themselves, for example, for returnable dunnage and promoting reuse and recycle of packaging or transportation related materials. 
     In the illustrated embodiment, the visual aid  650  includes a first portion  650 A and a second portion  650 B each with a color and/or shape. Different combination shapes and colors can be detected by the vision system and used with a key for looking up the content of the cargo  610 , environmental conditions required for the cargo  610 , securement requirement for the cargo  610 , and/or other information related to transportation of the cargo  610 . 
     It is appreciated that visual aid  650  can be disposed on any items related to the transport climate control system. For example, visual aid  650  can be disposed on a forklift, a pallet jack, a securement (i.e., a strap, anchor, or hooks), and the like. 
       FIG.  7    is a schematic diagram of a transport climate control system  705 , according to an embodiment. The transport climate control system  705  includes a vision system  710 , a controller  730 , and a transport unit  750 . 
     The vision system  710  is configured to capture and analyze image data captured by one or more image capturing devices, such as a camera, a recorder, or the like. As illustrated in  FIG.  7   , the vision system  710  include one or more image capturing devices  715 . The image capturing device(s)  715  can be one or more of the image capturing devices  425 ,  426 ,  435 , or  436  as shown and described in  FIGS.  2 - 6   . 
     An image recognition system  720  is configured to obtain image data from the one or more image capturing device(s)  715  includes a processor that is configured to recognize an item within the image data from the image capturing device(s)  715 . The image recognition system  720  can detect a shape, color, text, visual aid(s), or other detectable features in the image data. In an embodiment, the visual aid can be the visual aid  421 ,  431 , the logo  620 , the texts  625 , the barcode  630 , the QR code  640 . The image recognition system  720  can further determine movement of a detected object by, for example, comparing a detected item&#39;s relative locations in a captured photo or video over time. 
     In an embodiment, the image recognition system  720  can determine when a cargo is loaded in or unloaded from a transport unit by detecting a cargo or its visual aid(s) movement through an area captured by the one or more image capturing device(s)  715 . For example, when the image recognition system  720  tracks a cargo moving through the area  425 A in a direction D 1  or the area  435 A in a direction D 2  of  FIG.  2   , the image recognition system  720  can determine that cargo is being unloaded from the climate controlled space  410 . When the image recognition system  720  tracks a cargo moving through the area  425 A along an opposite direction of the direction D 1  or the area  435 A along an opposite direction of the direction D 2  of  FIG.  2   , the image recognition system  720  can determine that cargo is being loaded into the climate controlled space  410 . 
     In an embodiment, at least one of the image capturing device(s)  715  can be a thermal camera. The image recognition system  720  can recognize a poor temperature spot within the climate controlled space  410 . For example, a poor temperature spot can be an area in the climate controlled space  410 , or on the cargo, having a temperature difference from the temperature in two adjacent areas on a thermal image captured by the image capture device  715 . A poor temperature spot can indicate a leak in the climate control system  705  and/or cargo being stored improperly. In some embodiments, a poor temperature spot can be a change of temperature along a direction in the captured thermal image(s) over a predetermined threshold. The predetermined threshold can be a predetermined degree of temperature difference across a predetermined number of pixels in one or more predetermined directions in the captured thermal image(s). For example, a predetermined threshold can be a temperature change of ˜3° C. in a linear direction across 10 pixels on thermal images(s), where 5 pixels can correspond, for example, to ˜10 cm in the controlled space. 
     In another embodiment, the image recognition system  720  can detect a visual aid associated with a securement. By comparing a securement requirement for a detected item with the detected securement, the image recognition system  720  can detect an unsecured or under-secured item. The detection can be achieved by comparing the number or type of visual aid associated with a securement disposed on or near the item to the number or type required. For example, the item can be a cargo or equipment. The equipment can be a pallet jack. 
     It is appreciated that in some embodiments the image recognition system  720  can be processed locally onboard within the transport unit. For example, in some embodiments, the image recognition system  720  can be part of the controller  730 . In other embodiments, the image recognition system  720  can be at least partially or wholly processed at a remote location or as a cloud service with the captured image data transmitted to the telematics system of the transport unit and further transmitted to the analyzing location or service. The analyzed image data can be returned to the telematics system or to other components of the transport climate control system or the transport unit. For example, other components can be the controller  730 , a logistic planning and distribution system  740 , the user device(s)  760 , and the like. 
     The logistic planning and distribution system  740  can receive a key determined by the vision system  710  using captured image data. Information related to the key, such as the type of cargo, environmental condition requirement, securement requirement and the like, can be retrieved from an entry in a library indexed to the key. The library can be, for example, a bill of lading. The retrieved information can be transmitted to the controller  730  for providing instructions to the transport climate controlled circuit  750  or a notification message to a user device  760 . In an embodiment, the instructions to the transport climate control circuit  750  can be the transport climate control circuit described for  FIGS.  1 A-E . In some embodiments, the instruction can include instruction to a controller of one or more transport unit devices and/or the transport climate controlled circuit. For example, the instruction can be configured to communicate with a controller of a powered door, an automated latch, a transport climate control circuit, a light, a camera, a vision system, a telematics system, a display, an alarms, or the like. It is appreciated that the controller of the one or more transport unit devices and/or the transport climate controlled circuit can be one or more dedicated controller (e.g., a door actuator controller, a compressor controller, or the like), an aggregated controller (e.g., a climate control system controller that operators one or more climate control devices, such as a compressor, a vent, a valve, and etc.; a telematics system that controls one or more sensors, on board computer, devices, and etc.; or the like), or a combination thereof. 
     In an embodiment, the loading and unloading detection, location information, and the detected cargo information can be provided to the logistic planning and distribution system  740 . The system  740  can include a processor that is configured to verify whether the cargo is loaded into an appropriate zone of the climate controlled space  410  based on the requirement of the cargo and the cargo&#39;s owner. The system  740  can verify whether the cargo is unloaded at a correct location. The verification can be achieved by verifying the detected loading, unloading, and cargo information against the logistic planning and distribution system  740  that contains a predetermined loading, unloading, cargo information, and cargo environmental condition requirements. For example, a bill of lading can be included in the library and/or the logistic planning and distribution system  740 . 
     In an embodiment, a location data can be provided to the logistic planning and distribution system. The location data can be determined from a GNSS or GPS module of a telematics system of the transport climate control system. The location data can be obtained from other inputs such as the vision system  710  detecting textual information in captured user data or user input via a user interface of a telematics system. In an embodiment, the location data can be a specific location or a geofence defining an area. The logistic planning and distribution system  740  can provide environmental condition requirement(s), loading or unloading location(s), and/or other transportation related information in a database indexed to a key. The key can be obtained from a recognized text, and/or visual aid obtained by the vision system, the location information provided by the telematics system, or a combination thereof. 
     It is appreciated that in some embodiments the logistic planning and distribution system  740  can be processed locally onboard within the transport unit. For example, in some embodiments, the logistic planning and distribution system  740  can be part of the controller  730 . In other embodiments, the logistic planning and distribution system  740  can be at least partially or wholly processed at a remote location or as a cloud service. 
     The controller  730  receives the cargo related information from the image recognition system  710  and/or any additional cargo related information from the logics planning and distribution system  740 . In an embodiment, the controller  730  can be the climate controller  125 ,  175 ,  235 ,  325 , or  370  as shown and described in  FIGS.  1 A-E . The controller  730  can provide operation instruction(s) for the transport climate control circuit  750  according to the information received from the image recognition system  710  and/or the logics planning and distribution system  740 . The operation instruction(s) can include transmitting a control signal to change one or more operation parameters of one or more devices in the climate control circuit  750 . In an embodiment, the controller  730  can change an operating mode or operating parameter(s) of the climate control system  705 . 
     In some embodiments, the operating modes can include a continuous cooling mode, a start/stop cooling mode, a heating mode, a fan only mode, a null mode, a pre-conditioning mode, a dry-out mode, and a defrost mode, etc. The transport climate control system can operate in a continuous cooling mode when, for example, the transport climate control system is attempting to cool the climate controlled space as quickly as possible (e.g., performing an initial pull down of the temperature in the climate controlled space to the desired temperature setpoint, after the transport unit has stopped to load or remove cargo from the climate controlled space, etc.). The transport climate control system can operate in a start/stop cooling mode when, for example, the temperature in the climate controlled space is attempting to maintain or slowly adjust the climate in the climate controlled space (e.g., the climate controlled space has reached or is close to reaching a desired temperature setpoint. The transport climate control system can operate in a heating mode when, for example, the transport climate control system is attempting to heat the climate controlled space to a desired temperature setpoint. The transport climate control system can operate in a fan only mode when, for example, the transport climate control system is attempting to provide air flow within the climate controlled space without heating or cooling the climate controlled space. The transport climate control system can operate in a null mode when, for example, the compressor is not operating and the fans may or may not be operating to provide airflow within the climate controlled space. The transport climate control system can operate in a defrost mode when, for example, the transport climate control system is attempting to defrost an evaporator coil of the climate control circuit. The transport climate control system can operate in a pre-conditioning mode when, for example, the transport climate control system is anticipating a cooling capacity change. The transport climate control system can operate in a dry-out mode when, for example, the transport climate control system is attempting to create airflow within the climate controlled space to remove, for example, liquid water, from the climate control space by running one or more fans or blowers with one or more doors or vents opened. 
     Operating parameters can be variable settings of climate control circuit equipment such as compressor, evaporator, expander, condenser, economizer, damper, drivetrain, generator, the like or environmental conditions such as temperature, pressure, relative humidity, airflow, and the like. Environmental conditions can be controlled by changing operating parameter(s) of the climate control system. In some embodiments, the operating instruction(s) can include adjusting heating or cooling capacities of the climate control circuit  750  by transmitting a control signal to a compressor for adjusting operation of the compressor. The controller can compare environmental condition set point(s) with sensor measured conditions and/or the environmental condition(s) required by the detected cargo to determine and adjust operating parameter set points of the climate control system. 
     In another embodiment, the operating instruction(s) can include an operational profile that includes a predetermined series of operating parameters or operating mode settings over time. The operational profile can be predetermined and particularly designed for a particular type of cargo or for more efficient control of climate control capacity for conserving energy. For example, bananas transported under an operational profile designed for bananas can extend the shelf life of the bananas. It is appreciated that the operating parameters or operating mode settings of the climate control system can be determined by a single type or a mix of cargo determined by the system. 
     In an embodiment, the operating instruction(s) can include transmitting an alert message to a user device  760 . For example, an alert message can be a textual or pictorial message of an unclosed door, misaligned door and wall flags, intermittently misaligned door and wall flags, or the like detected by the vision system  710 . The vision system  710  can transmit the textual or pictorial message to a user interface of a telematics system of a vehicle transporting the transport climate control system  705 . For example, the vision system  710  can transmit the alert message for unclosed door detection when detecting misaligned or intermittent misaligned door and wall flags (e.g.,  431 A and  431 B) to a display of the telematics system on the transport unit. The alert message can include a message alerting an operator to stop the transport unit and apply corrective actions. For another example, the alert message can be triggered by the visual system  710  detecting an intermittent misaligned door and wall flag (e.g.,  431 A and  431 B) for alerting for a failed door latch by displaying a message for detecting failed door latches. The alert message can be displayed on a screen of the telematics system of the transport unit, a hand held device of an operator of the transport climate control system  705 , and/or another device connected to the transport climate control system  705 . 
     In yet another embodiment, the operating instruction(s) can include turning on or off the lights in the transport unit for providing better lighting for image capture, improving operation safety, conserving energy, and the like. For example, the operating instruction(s) can include triggering the light to turn on when a visual aid is detected as moving in the transport unit. 
     In some embodiments, the operating instruction(s) can include transmitting an instruction to a controller of a transport unit device. A transport unit device can be any devices disposed in the transport unit. For example, a transport unit device can be a powered door (e.g., powered by a door actuator), an automated latch, a light, a camera, a vision system, and the like. For example, when the rolled up door  420  or the swing door  430  is configured to be opened and closed by an actuator  420 A or  430 B, for example, an electrical door actuator. The actuator can be configured to be controlled by an actuator controller in communication with the vision system  710 , for example, via the telematics system of the transport unit. The operating instruction can include transmitting a control signal to the actuator to opens or closes a door. In another embodiment, an automatic latch for a door can pull a partially closed door to a closing position for attaching the latch. The operating instruction can include transmitting a control signal to the automatic latch to pull the door closed and apply the automatic latch when a misalignment of door and wall flags (e.g.,  431 A and  431 B) is detected by the vision system  710 . In yet another embodiment, the operating instruction can include transmitting an instruction for preventing the transport unit being driven away, for example, by applying breaks or disengaging driving mechanisms of the vehicle moving the transport unit when the vision system  710  detects an unclosed or unlatch door. 
     The determined instruction can include an adjustment instruction, a recommendation instruction, a notification instruction, a transport unit instruction, or the like. In some embodiments, an adjustment instruction can include one or more control signals transmitted to a controller for the transport climate control system  705  for changing an operating mode and/or an operating parameter. In some embodiments, an adjustment instruction can include one or more control signals transmitted to a controller for the transport climate control system  705  for changing an operating mode, an operating parameter, or the like. In some embodiments, a recommendation instruction can include transmitting an alert by displaying a notification containing a recommendation determined by the vision system. For example, the recommendation can include a message suggesting moving cargo because of a mismatch determined by the vision system. In some embodiments, the notification instruction can include transmitting a visual, audio, or textual alert to the transport unit or a user device. In an embodiment, the notification instruction can include a recommendation instruction. In some embodiments, a transport unit instruction can include a control signal transmitted to a controller for the transport unit devices  770  associated with the vision system  710 . 
       FIG.  8    is a flow chart of a method  800  for operating a transport climate control system (e.g., the transport climate control system  705  shown in  FIG.  7   ), according to an embodiment. The method  800  can improve transport climate control system operation by adjusting a climate control circuit for meeting the environmental condition(s) required by the cargo, forecasting energy consumption, detecting leaking, capturing photos, detecting unclosed doors, etc. The method  800  can be achieved by analyzing photos, recordings, or other image data of the transport climate system, analyzing the image data to obtain cargo related information, and providing the obtained cargo information to a controller to operate the transport unit accordingly. The image recognition accuracy can be improved by visual aids such as a streamer, painted strips on a pallet, a bar code, a QR code, a sticker, a door flag, or the like. The method  800  can improve the operation by detecting cargo being loaded and unloaded into a wrong zone or location, alerting a door remained open, and adjusting climate control circuit to supply the appropriate capacity. 
     The method  800  includes an image capturing device capturing an image within a climate controlled space at  810 ; analyzing the captured image by an image recognition system communicatively connected with the image capturing device to obtain analyzed image data at  820 ; determining an instruction on the analyzed image data at  830 ; and a controller executing the determined instruction for the transport climate control system at  840 . 
     At  810 , an image capturing device captures an image within a climate controlled space. In an embodiment, the camera can be any of the image capturing devices  425 ,  426 ,  435 ,  436 ,  715  shown in  FIGS.  2 - 4  and  7   ; the climate controlled space can be any of the climate controlled spaces  110 ,  160 ,  225 ,  300 ,  358 ,  410  shown in  FIGS.  1 A-E  and  2 ; the controller can be any of the controllers  125 ,  175 ,  235 ,  325 ,  370 ,  730  shown in  FIGS.  1 A-E  and  7 ; and the method  800  can be applicable to any of the transport climate control systems  105 ,  155 ,  210 ,  355 ,  405 ,  705  as shown and described, for example, in  FIGS.  1 A- 2  and  7   . The method  800  then proceeds to  820 . 
     At  820 , an image recognition system (e.g., the image recognition system  720  shown in  FIG.  7   ) analyzes the captured image obtained at  810  to obtain analyzed image data. In some embodiments, the image recognition system can recognize and determine the content of a cargo by visual indications such as shape, color, texts on the cargo itself or any visual aid(s) disposed on the cargo. The image recognition system can provide the detected visual aid(s) to a logistic planning and distribution system (e.g., the logistic planning and distribution system  740  shown in  FIG.  7   ) to retrieve transportation information associated with the detected visual aid(s). The transportation information can be environmental conditions required or requested for the cargo, the type of product, the brand, the weight, the volume, the shipping/receiving address, and/or other information useful for the transport climate control system to control the climate control circuit and/or providing instructive feedbacks to an operator or a fleet manager. 
     In an embodiment,  810  and  820  can be repeated for monitoring cargo movement within the climate controlled space and for providing image data over time. The method  800  then proceeds to  830 . 
     At  830 , an instruction can be determined based on the analyzed image data obtained at  820 . The analyzed image data obtained at  820  can include cargo recognized by the vision system and/or an environmental condition requirement obtained from the logistic planning and distribution system according to the recognized cargo or visual aids by the vision system. Also, any missing products can be determined by comparing the detected product with a bill of lading from the logistic planning and distribution system and with location information from, for example, the telematics system. The determined instruction can include triggering an interlock preventing the transport unit from be driven away until any detected mismatch or other issues are resolved. The instruction can include instruction for transport climate control system and/or transport unit devices. The method  800  then proceeds to  840 . 
     At  840 , the instruction determined at  830  is executed. This can include: at  850  adjusting an operating mode or an operating parameter of the transport climate control system according to a cargo recognized from the analyzed image data or a logistic planning and distribution system; at  860  recommending repositioning of a cargo recognized from the analyzed image data within the climate controlled space; and/or at  870  transmitting a notification of a door being opened or closed, a mismatch, or an unsecured item. A mismatch can be a difference between a required environmental condition and a current environment condition around the cargo. The required environmental condition can be determined based on the type of cargo, for example, detected and determined by the vision system. The current environment condition around the cargo can be detected, for example, by environment condition sensors disposed within the climate controlled space. The unsecured items can be detected by the lack of a securement or visual aid(s) associated with a securement near or on a securable item, such as a pallet or a pallet jack. In some embodiments, the notification can include one or more pictorial or textual messages on a user interface and/or one or more operating instructions to automatically control one or more of the transport unit devices. 
     At  850 , adjusting an operating mode or an operating parameter can be achieved by the controller  730  receiving cargo information and/or environmental condition requirement from the visual system  710  and/or the logistic planning and distribution system  740 . Adjusting the operating mode can include, for example, switching from a heating mode to a continuous or start-stop cooling mode depending on a change in the ambient environment conditions and/or environmental changes within the climate controlled space. The operating mode adjustment can include, for example, the controller  730  switching from a heating mode to a cooling mode. Adjusting the operating parameter can include changing an operating parameter settings, for example, changing a setpoint temperature from a first setpoint to a second setpoint, for example, because of a change of cargo. The operating parameter adjustment can include, for example, the controller  730  changing a temperature set point by changing a power output on a heating system. 
     At  860 , an instruction can be transmitted, for example, by the controller  730  to the user device  760 . The instruction can be based on a mismatch between a required environmental condition and a current environment condition around the cargo. For example, for a multi-zone transport climate control system, such as the MTCS  280  as shown in  FIG.  1 D , a mismatch can be a cargo recognized from the captured image being loaded or unload to a wrong zone of the climate controlled space or at a wrong location. A wrong zone can be, for example, a cargo being required to be stored in the frozen zone of a MTCS but the cargo being detected by the image data in a room temperature zone of the MTCS. For example, a wrong location can be a cargo being required to be unloaded within a geofence but being detected as being unloaded outside the geofence. A recommendation instruction can be transmitted when a mismatch is determined by the vision system. 
     At  870 , an alert or recommendation for addressing a determined mismatch can be transmitted as a notification through visual, audio, textual, and other communication devices. For example, the notification can be transmitted by an audible alert sound, synthetic or recorded message, buzzer, flashing light, light indicator, a text message shown in the UI displayed on a screen of the telematics system or a user device, and the like. In an embodiment, the notification can include an unsecured or under secured items. In yet another embodiment, the notification can include instructions for an operator or fleet manager to manually change an operating parameter or mode of the transport climate control system. 
     By controlling the climate within the climate controlled space using the vision system of the transport climate controls system and using visual aid(s) for improving the detection efficiency of the vision system, the performance of the transport climate control system can be improved. For example, the improved performance can include reduced energy consumption by detecting an opened or unlatched door. The performance of the transport climate control system can include adjusting one or more climate control conditions within the climate controlled space by matching environmental condition settings with the required environmental conditions according to the cargo housed within the climate controlled space. The improved performance can include added functionalities otherwise unreliable or non-feasible such as detecting unsecured equipment.
