1. A method for transportation monitoring, comprising:
obtaining force change information of a transportation device detected by a detector; and
monitoring, based on the force change information, a quantity of times of transportation that the transportation device loads a transportation object at an initial position, transports the transportation object to a target position, and unloads the transportation object at the target position,
wherein the monitoring, based on the force change information, a quantity of times of transportation that the transportation device loads a transportation object at an initial position, transports the transportation object to a target position, and unloads the transportation object at the target position comprises:
determining, based on the force change information, status information of a transportation component for transporting the transportation object; and
updating the quantity of times of transportation that the transportation device transports the transportation object in a case that it is monitored, by using the status information, that the transportation component loads the transportation object, transports the transportation object to the target position, and unloads the transportation object at the target position;
wherein the determining, based on the force change information, status information of a transportation component for transporting the transportation object comprises:
determining that the transportation object is loaded on the transportation component of the transportation device, in a case that a force value detected by the detector increases to be greater than a first threshold; and
determining that the transportation object loaded this time is unloaded from the transportation component, in a case that the force value detected by the detector decreases to be less than the first threshold, and
wherein the method further comprises:
obtaining a first time difference between an unloading time when the transportation object loaded this time is unloaded from the transportation component and a loading time when the transportation object loaded this time is loaded on the transportation component; and remaining, in a case that the first time difference is less than a first duration threshold, the quantity of times of transportation that the transportation device transports the transportation object unchanged after determining that the transportation object loaded this time is unloaded, until a next obtained first time difference is no less than the first duration threshold; updating the quantity of times of transportation that the transportation device transports the transportation object, in a case that the next obtained first time difference is no less than the first duration threshold; wherein the next obtained first time difference is obtained by taking a time when the transportation object is unloaded next time as a new unloading time of the transportation object, and calculating a difference between the new unloading time and the loading time;
and/or;
obtaining a second time difference between the unloading time when the transportation object loaded this time is unloaded from the transportation component and a loading time when a transportation object loaded adjacent next time is loaded on the transportation component; and remaining, in a case that the second time difference is less than a second duration threshold, the quantity of times of transportation that the transportation device transports the transportation object unchanged, after determining that the transportation object loaded next time is unloaded.
