This paper presents numerical results of static structural stability analysis in development of a vertical transfer device of a PRT(Personal Rapid Transit) vehicle. The vertical transfer of a fully occupied vehicle operating on a road network is the first attempt, which is expected to contribute to overcome the limitations of conventional 2-dimensional operation mode. In particular, the vertical transfer apparatus designed based on vertical circulating conveyors is capable of continuous transfer without time delay so that it enables to accommodate a high traffic density. This system has been frequently used in a logistics field; however, it is essential to assess a structural integrity because an external force by a vehicle weight is exerted on the conveyors in the form of a concentrated load unlike a conventional logistic transport. In this study, prior to the production process, the structural performance of the pilot design in an early stage is numerically evaluated using the commercial finite element method (FEM) solver (i.e., $Ansys^{(R)}$).

This paper deals with productivity improvement of stevedoring system by pooling opertaions of transport vehicle at automated container terminal. Usually, in traditional container terminals, grouping operations of transport vehicle are applied for container crane because vehicle routing path is simple and vehicle assignment is easy. But this static assignment(SA) operation that arrsign vehicles to container crane ar apron reduces flexibility of vehicles. Therefore, This paper presented 4 dynamic assignment(DA) method to improve efficiency of vehicles. These 4 dynamic assignment method consider present situations of container crane such as sequence(Se), queue time(Qt), productivity(Pr), numeric of vehicle assignment(Nv), numeric of buffer(Nb) at vehicles assignment. At the results, dynamic assignment operation to consider Qt, Nv, Nb is most efficient and by next time, dynamic assignment operation to consider Se is superior more than static assignment operation. but, dynamic assignment operation to consider Pr or Qt of container crane only is inefficient than static assignment operation.

항만용 자율주행 야드트럭운행 환경은 무신호교차로 주행, 낮은 GPS정확도, 악천후상황주행, 이송 컨테이너 위치변경등과 같이 일반 도로의 센서기반의 자율주행차량 운행과 다르게 매우 복잡하다. 이를 위해서는 항만내 특성을 반영한 실시간 위치, 속도 등에 대한 정확한 인식이 중요한 요소이다. 이를 위해서 센서융합과 V2X기반의 복합적인 항만용 실시간 로컬 동적지도 (Local Dynamic Map) 생성 및 V2X기반의 협력측위를 통하여서 기존의 독립적인 자율주행차량의 위치 인식보다 더 개선된 고정밀 위치 인식 정보추출이 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 복합적인 항만용 동적지도 생성관리시스템의 설계 방안 및 협력측위 기술 적용 방안을 제시하고 이를 활용한 항만 구역내 자율주행차량 및 모든 화물 이송장비들의 실시간 위치 인식뿐만 아니라 이동체의 사전 충돌예측 및 비상정지 안전 제어 가능한 V2X 기반의 인텔리젼스 한 3차원 관제시스템 설계 방안을 제시하고자 한다.

The objective of this study is to test and modify the gantry travel mechanism of an ALV(automated lifting vehicle) as a main technology of development of ALV. For the purpose of the improvement of container terminal productivity, this study performed to develop the ALV as a part of R&D. In order to verify the design data and detect the errors of detailed drawings, we performed the various limited weight test under load and unload conditions. Through the reflect of final drawing based on the this test, we could use to produce the more complete vehicle.

The PRT(Personal Rapid Transit) in material or immaterial guided tracks is operated automatically according to the needs of passengers with the optimal non-stop path from the source to the destination. In recent years, the personal rapid transit (PRT) system, which affords superior accessibility and ease of use, has been spotlighted as a new transport system for the future. In this study, a method for vertical lifting of PRT vehicles was proposed to facilitate interlink with other means of transport and thereby improve the efficiency of door-to-door transport. For this purpose, operation control interfaces were designed and experiments were conducted. Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) dedicated for the PRT vertical lift was designed to interface with Operation Control Center (OCC) by Modbus TCP over Ethernet. We implemented a 3D graphical PRT operation simulator which can emulate the mixing operation of the virtual vehicles and the actual vehicles.

In this paper, Improved productivity models of container terminal are provided by utilizing a simulation considering Tandem-lift Quay Crane and transport vehicle of container's high productivity 'Alternative ship-to-yard vehicles.' Feature of this method is deriving the data of tandem-lift Quay Crane and Alternative ship-to-yard vehicles, estimating the productivity model of tandem-lift Quay Crane by using regression analysis. Tandem-lift Quay Crane is equipment of loading and unloading to increase productivity approximately by 2 time existing (single, twin) Quay Crane by dealing with four 20ft containers or two 40ft containers at the same. Alternative ship-to-yard vehicles can transfer containers(4TEU) more than existing Yard Tractor. This paper is deriving the optimal combination showing the highest productivity by using simulation considering Tandem-lift Quay Crane and Alternative ship-to-yard vehicles on container terminals and developing estimating model of productivity by using regression analysis using data of simulation.

사고 현장에서 사고 차량을 옮기거나 주차위반 차량을 견인사업소로 이동시키기 위해 주로 이용되고 있는 리프트식 견인차는 피견인차의 구동방식에 따라 차량의 전부 또는 후부을 들어 올려 구동 바퀴로 이동할 수 있도록 하는 특수차량이다. 본 논문에서는 견인중인 견인차와 이송중인 전륜 피견인차 및 일반 주행 중인 차량 사이에서 일어날 수 있는 3중 추돌사고를 일반적인 3중 추돌사고와 비교하여 견인 중에 발생하는 추돌사고가 얼마나 위험한지를 직접 확인한다. 각 차량은 CATIA를 이용하여 모델링하고 이를 상용 유한요소해석 프로그램인 ANSYS를 통하여 피견인차의 후부를 주행 차량이 들이 받는 추돌을 시뮬레이션한다. 또한 견인차가 피견인차를 들어 올려 발생되는 피견인차의 각도에 따른 추돌의 영향을 해석한다.

In this paper, a method of moving path control of an automatic guided vehicle in an indoor environment through recognition of marker images using vision sensors is presented. The existing AGV moving control system using infrared-ray sensors and landmarks have faced at two critical problems. Since there are many windows in a crematorium, they are going to let in too much sunlight in the main hall which is the moving area of AGVs. Sunlight affects the correct recognition of landmarks due to refraction and/or reflection of sunlight. The second one is that a crematorium has a narrow indoor environment compared to typical industrial fields. Particularly when an AVG changes its direction to enter the designated furnace the information provided by guided sensors cannot be utilized to estimate its location because the rotating space is too narrow to get them. To resolve the occurrences of such circumstances that cannot access sensing data in a WSN environment, a relative distance from marker to an AGV will be used as fingerprinting used for location estimation. Compared to the existing fingerprinting method which uses RSS, our proposed method may result in a higher reliable estimation of location. Our experimental results show that the proposed method proves the correctness and applicability. In addition, our proposed approach will be applied to the AGV system in the crematorium so that it can transport a dead body safely from the loading place to its rightful destination.

초대형 컨테이너선을 대비하여 기존의 자동화 이송 시스템인 AGV는 자동화, 유지보수의 어려움 등으로 인해 많은 문제점이 있다. 이에 대한 방안으로, 새로운 이송 시스템인 LMTT(Linear Motor based Transfer Technology) 시스템을 제안하였다. 특히 LMTT는 자동화, 고속화가 용이할 뿐만 아니라 AGV에 비해서 친환경적이다. 따라서 이와 유사한 새로운 이송시스템에 대해서 많은 연구가 진행이 되고 있음에도 불구하고, LMTT 시스템은 거대한 서보 시스템으로서 특히 선형 모터(Linear Motor)는 차량의 무게에 의한 마찰력의 영향을 많이 받으며, 이러한 마찰력은 LMTT 시스템의 속응성의 저하 요인으로서 작용 하게된다. 따라서 본 연구에서는, 새로운 이송 시스템인 LMTT에 대하여 부상력을 고려함으로서 정지 마찰력을 감소시켜 시스템 속응성을 향상시킬 수 있는 연구를 수행하였다.

최근 급격히 장대화 하고 있는 차량 터널의 효율적 건설 및 운영을 위하여 관련 기본 요소 기술 중 특히 국내 기술 수준이 낙후한 분야 중의 하나인 환기 시스템 설계 기술에 대한 관심이 높아지고 있다. 외국의 경우에 비하여 상대적으로 늦긴 했으나 1990년 환경처가 지하 공간 환경 기준 권고치를 설정 발표함으로써 보사부의 공중 위생법, 건설부의 도로법, 노동부 고시 등에 의한 관리 대상이던 터널 내 오염 물질도 직접적인 규제 대상이 되었다. (중략)
