The purpose of this paper is to describe the design of the decision support system for container terminal ship planning and to introduce the implemented system. The ship planning in container terminals consists of three major decision processes -the working schedule of gantry cranes the discharging sequence of inbound containers the loading position and sequence of outbound containers. For making these decision the proposed system can provide two ship planning modes the interactive planning mode with user-friendly GUI and the automated planning made. To implement the automated planning routine we acquired the planning rules from the expert planner in container terminals and developed an expert system based on the rules. Finally we evaluated the system developed and the potential for commercialization by using container terminal data.

At container terminals, a major measurement of productivity can be work-efficiency in quay-side. At the apron, containers are loaded onto the ship and unloaded to apron by Q/C(Quay Crane). For improving the productivity of quay crane, the more efficient Y/T(Yard Tractor) operation method is necessary in container terminals. Between quay-side and yard area, current transferring methods is single-cycling which doesn't start loading unless it finishes unloading. Dual-cycling is a technique that can be used to improve the productivity of quay-side and utility of yard tractor by ship loading and unloading simultaneously. Using the dual-cycling at terminals only necessitates an operational change without purchasing extra equipment. Exactly, Y/T operation method has to be changed the dedicate system to pooling system. This paper presents an efficient ship loading and unloading plan in container terminals, which use the dual-cycling. We propose genetic and tabu search algorithm for this problem.

This paper is concerned about applying the AHP(Analytic Hierarchy Process) for a priority analysis of equipment operation plan to improve productivity of the container terminal in Gwangyang port. In this study, main elements of container terminal are assumed as into yard equipment area, transport equipment area, berth equipment area and C/Center area. A questionnaire is used to collect the opinions of equipment operating department and operational planning department. On the whole, the result of the analyses reveals that the most important area is yard equipment area. Examining each department is responses, equipment operating department preferred the C/Center area to other areas, on the other hand, operational planning department preferred yard equipment area. The result of this study suggests some guidelines for deciding priority of operation plan in the container terminal.

Marine ttransport is a big part of container transportation. In view of container terminal. the planning technology is very important to secure the stability and regularity at container yard. The purpose of this paper is to suggest more efficient container yard management by evaluating the container yard occupations from the methods of divide that predict the carried containers in gates.

2010년 3월 22일 "Ice Navigation"에 대한 경험과 자료 수집을 위하여 통영항(평택항)과 Sakhalin "Prigorodnoye항"을 운항하는 대한해운 소속의 "K. Jasmine"호를 승선하여 "Prigorodnoye항"에서 LNG $143,700M^3$를 선적하여 "통영항"에서 양하하는 과정을 경험하고 하선하였다. "K. Jasmine"호는 년 150만톤의 LNG 수입을 위한 "한국 ${\leftrightarrow}$ Sakhalin Project"에 투입된 LNG운반선으로서 "Russian Maritime Register of Shipping"의 "Ice Class LU2" 증서를 갖고 있는 선박이다. 이 증서는 선박이 60Cm 두께의 얼음 해역에서 Ice Breaker의 인도 아래 4Knots 이상의 선속을 유지할 수 있음을 보장받고 있다. 운항중 SEIC(Sakhalin Energy Investment Company)에서는 Ice map을 매일 제공하는 하고 있었으며, 이를 참조하여 본선에서는 계획된 항해를 수행하였다. 이 논문에서는 Ice Navigation선박의 성능 조건에 대하여 검토하여 향후 이 항로에 취항하는 선박에 지침이 되고자 한다.

The objective of this paper is to suggest a decision support system allowing automatic loading and discharging planning for tanker ships, and provide a working prototype. Particular attention is placed on developing a feasible system for improving the speed and accuracy of cargo planning by combining practice and theoretical solution methods. The system is consisted of a simulation model for tank allocation and an expert system for working sequence. Several program tests are undertaken with randomly generated input data. The results suggest that the system is quite meaningful even though there are still some problems to be solved. The paper concludes with a discussion of issues for future development of the decision support system.

Maritime transport has been occupying the biggest part of the container transportation market. With regard to container terminal management, the planning technology and the space allocation system on the yard are very significant factors to secure the stability of ship and to ensure the reliability of schedules of ship throughout keeping barycenter of vessel by right loading and fast handling of cargoes. The purposes of this paper are to illustrate the existing yard management systems such as Grouping method and Random Grounding method, and then to evaluate and compare the efficiency of yard availability between the existing management system(Grouping method) and Random Grouping which uses the forecasted inbound cargo volume at the gate by Time Base Operation.

This study shows how the logistics capability of container terminal impacts with service quality and customer response. Result of this study would be utilized in marketing strategy for container terminal. Sample design is based on shipping companies which are registered in Korea Shipowners' Association and Korea Shipmanagers' Association from Dec. 5 through 23 in 2011. And total of 243 questionnaires are collected through a personal visit. The result of empirical analysis, management capability of logistics capability factor which have an effect on service quality and customer response is the biggest influence to them. At the same time, Sympathy of service quality factor which have an effect on customer response is the biggest influence to it. Therefore, customers' requirements would be analyzed specifically when loading and unloading plans are devised in container terminal, and based on customers' requirements, best customer service would be provided.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of a visual flow speed's modulation-based VR(virtual reality) program on gait function in stroke patients. Thirty one stroke patients were randomly selected at Dep. of Rehabilitation medicine of M hospital in Seoul. We carried out the gait analysis by dividing them with four conditions : one condition had applied without the visual flow modulation-based VR and another had done three visual flow speed's modulation-based VR(0.25, 1, 2 times). The gait analysis was used with GaitRite system. The data were collected using gait velocity, cadence, stride length, step length, single support time, and double support time during treatment. The results were as follows. First, the slow visual flow(0.25 times)-based VR program on the condition was significant decrease gait velocity, cadence, stride length, step length and increase single support time, double support time(p<.05). Second, the fast visual flow(2 times)-based VR program on the condition was significant increase gait velocity, cadence, stride length, step length, single support time on paretic lower limb and decrease single support time on non-paretic lower limb, double support time(p<.05). Third, the normal visual flow(1 times)-based VR program on the condition was not significant differ gait velocity, cadence, stride length, step length, single support time, double support time. In conclusion, the visual flow speed's modulation-based VR program improves gait function in chronic stroke patients.
