It's important to operate the yard for improving to the productivity in container terminal effectively. Because the automated container terminal(ACT) has storage yard of automation and horizon, it's character is different from conventional terminal. As the automation yard in ACT is operated by the automated equipments, it needs to an efficient storage plan which is connected the automated equipment, the external truck, the shipment etc.. Hut the traditional method of storage plan is the space assignment problem. The efficiency of yard decreases and it is brought about increase of shipment time, because real-time automated equipments and present yard status is not reflected in. In order to solve this problems, we propose the algorithm for real-time storage location of container considering shipment plan, yard status and the state of ATC.

The interest of ACT (Automated Container Terminal) is increasing because of expansion of container's transportation quantity, appearance of large-sized and. high-speed vessel, high labor cost of container terminal and the change of technical level. Therefore, the ACT had been developed in several ports in the world, such as ECT (Europe Combined Terminals) and CTA (Container Terminal Altenwerder). They have studied detailed technique for the operation of ACT. In Korea, it also has increased not only expansion and improvement of container terminal, but also necessity of ACT. Now, many projects related to the development of ACT are working in Korea. And the technical improvement of operating system, automated equipments and information system has accomplished by the projects. The ACT consists of the basic equipment and the integrated information system for operating and controlling automated equipments. The productivity of ACT is maximized through efficient connection between them. Thus, the automated degree of container terminal is dependent on the developing time of operating system, reliability, transportation quantity of container, investment amount and technical level. In this paper, we propose important strategy in developing ACT through analyzing the property of each ACT.

The Internet of things (IoT) has been applied to a variety of industrial uses such as public service sectors, medical industries, automotive industries, and so on. Led by smart cities, this is typical. However, from a logistics perspective, the level of application is insufficient. This study examines the applicability of IoT-related technology in a container terminal, an object of the present invention, to derive an applicable plan. Analytic network process (ANP) analysis reveals the following results for IoT applications in container terminals: operating systems (26.7%), safety/environmental/security systems (26.4%), equipment maintenance systems (25.3%), and facility maintenance systems (21.6 %). The second ANP analysis reveals the following results: Economy (40.2%), productivity (21.1%), service level (19.5%), and utilizing technology level (19.2%). The application or standard of evaluation is important when applying IoT technology to container terminals; however, it is not concentrated in a certain area. It is desirable to build each container system with linkage and efficiency from a macroscopic view.

자동화 컨테이너 터미널의 생산성을 향상시키기 위해서는 장치장과 안벽 사이를 오가며 컨테이너를 운반하는 무인유도 차량(Automated Guided Vehicle: AGV)들이 효율적으로 주행하여 제 시간에 필요한 위치에 도착함으로써 연계 작업들의 지연을 최소화하여야 한다, 만일 AGV들이 목적지까지 주행하여야 하는 거리가 길거나 주행 중에 다른 AGV들과의 충돌이나 교축을 피하기 위하여 대기하여야 하는 상황이 빈번히 발생하면 주행 효율이 떨어지게 된다, 주행 경로의 길이를 줄이기 위하여 경로들을 보다 유연하게 설정할 수 있게 허용하면 경로들간의 교차 가능성이 높아져 교통 통제가 어려워지고 결과적으로 충돌과 교착이 발생할 가능성은 높아진다. 특히 교착을 사전에 방지하기 위하서는 문제가 발생할 소지가 있는 영역을 미리 파악하여 일부 영역을 다른 AGV들이 점유하지 못하도록 제한하여야 하는데, 이는 자칫 AGV 주행 공간의 활용도를 떨어뜨릴 수 있다. 또한 교착의 파악과 이를 방지하기 위한 제어는 실시간에 이루어져야 하므로 연산 부담이 상당하다. 본 논문에서는 유연한 주행 경로 설정이 가능하며 주행 공간을 효율적으로 활용할 수 있는 주행 경로 표현법과 충돌 방지 방안을 제안한다. 또한 교착 발생 가능성을 사전에 파악하고 회피(avoidance)하는데 소요되는 연산비용을 줄여 실시간 적용 가능성을 높이기 위하여 교착해결(deadlock resolution)에 기반을 둔 AGV 주행 관리 방안을 제시한다. 본 논문에서 제안하는 방안의 효율성을 시뮬레이션을 통하여 검증해 보았다.

These days Container Terminals are focusing on increasing the quantity of containers and shipping lines choose Terminals by referring to the key elements of a terminal to perform the overall operation the fastest such as the location of the terminal, discharging ability, keeping environment, and other elements related to shipping in general. Container terminal is able to offer On-Dock service has become an important factor for shipping lines to choose that terminal. In this paper, we propose an algorithm for On-Dock system work algorithm, the algorithm Empty container exports, Full Container algorithm and The aim of our study focus on both container's gate out time and search for the effective terminal operation which is using the general On-Dock system through several algorithm like container batch priority, gate in and out job priority and empty container yard equipment allocation rule based on the automatic allocation method and manual allocation scheme for container. Gathering these information, it gives the priority and yard location of gate-out containers to control. That is, by selecting an optimum algorithm container, container terminals Empty reduces the container taken out time, it is possible to minimize unnecessary re-handling of the yard container can be enhanced with respect to the efficiency of the equipment. Operations and operating results of the Non On-Dock and On-Dock system is operated by the out work operations (scenarios) forms that are operating in the real Gwangyang Container Terminal derived results. Gwangyang Container terminal and apply the On-Dock system, Non On-Dock can be taken out this time, about 5 minutes more quickly when applying the system. when managing export orders for berths where On-Dock service is needed, ball containers are allocated and for import cargoes, D/O is managed and after carryout, return management, container damage, cleaning, fixing and controlling services are supported hence the berth service can be strengthened and container terminal business can grow.
