In this paper, we develop anti-sway control in proposed techniques for an ATC system. The developed algorithm is to build the optimal path of container motion and to calculate an anti-collision path for collision avoidance in its movement to the finial coordinate. Moreover, in order to show the effectiveness in this research, we compared NNP PID controller to be tuning parameters of controller using NN with 2 DOF PID controller. The experimental results for an ATC simulator show that the proposed control scheme guarantees performances, trolley position, sway angle, and settling time in NNP PID controller than other controller. As a result, the application of NNP PID controller is analyzed to have robustness about disturbance which is wind of fixed pattern in the yard. Accordingly, the proposed algorithm in this study can be readily used for industrial applications

Automated container terminals have been developed over the world years and many countries are interested in them because the amount of containers exported or imported is rapidly increasing. The conventional container terminals were not designed to handle this kind of heavily many containers. They would face many structural problems soon or later, although they have been managed to do well so far. One of the most important things in automated container terminal is the handing equipments able to transfer many containers efficiently. Those are maybe automated transfer cranes, automatic guided vehicles and automated quay-side cranes. The word 'automated' means the equipment is operated without drivers and those equipments are able to work without any interruption in working schedule. Through the researches on the conventional transfer cranes, we decided that the structure of conventional transfer cranes is not proper in automated container terminal and it is not possible to handle so many container in limited time. Therefore we have been studying on the proper structure of the automated container for past several years and a new type of transfer cranes has been developed. Design concept and control method of the new crane are introduced and experimental results are presented in this paper.his paper.

The swing motion control problem of a container hanging on the trolly is considered in the paper. In the container crane control problem, suppressing the residual swing motion of the container at the end of acceleration, deceleration or the case of that the unexpected disturbance input exists is main issue. For this problem, in general, many trolley motion control strategies are introduced and applied. In this paper, we introduce and synthesize a swing motion control system in which a small auxiliary mass is installed on the spreader made by ourselves. In this control system, the actuator reacting against the auxiliary mass applies inertial control forces to the container to reduce the swing motion in the desired manner. In many studies, the controllers used to suppress the vibration have been synthesized for the given mathematical model of plants. And, the designers have not been able to utilize the degree of freedom to adjust the structural parameters for the control object. To overcome this problem, so called 'Structure/control Simultaneous Method' is used. In this paper, the simultaneous design method is used to determine the optimum weight of moving mass such that the optimal system performance would be achieved. And the experimental result shows that the proposed control strategy is useful to the case of that the controlled system is exposed to the uncertainties and, robust to the unexpected disturbance inputs.

Six different types of velocity profiles of trolley movement of a container crane are investigated for the minimal sway angle at the target trolley position. Three velocity patterns which include trapezoidal, stepped and notched-type velocity patterns are obtained assuming constant rope length. The notched type velocity pattern is shown to be derived from the time-optimal bang-bang control. The stepped type velocity pattern can be shown to be derived as bang-off bang control as well. Considering the damping effect due to hoist motion a double stage acceleration pattern is also analyzed. The main objective of the paper is to show how much time-reduction can be obtained among several velocity patterns appearing in the literature.

During the operation of crane system in container yard, it is necessary to control the crane trolley position so that the swing of the hanging container is minimized. Recently an automatic control system with high speed and rapid transportation is required. Therefore, we designed a controller to control the crane system with disturbances. In this paper, Ive present the neural network two degree of freedom PID controller to control the swing motion and trolley position. Then we executed the computer simulation to verify the performance of the proposed controller and compared the performance of the neural network PID controller with our proposed controller in terms of the rope swing and the precision of position control . Computer simulation results show that the proposed controller has better performances than neural network PID with disturbances.

In this paper, an open architecture control system for automated container cranes is investigated. The hardware architecture for automating cranes is first discussed. A standard reference model for cranes based upon the OSACA platform is proposed, in which three modules are suggested: hardware module, operating system module, and application software module. Finally, a hybrid control system combining deliberative and reactive controls for autonomous operations of the cranes is implemented.

본 연구의 목적은 컨테이너터미널에서 사용되는 다기능 이송차량을 위한 2단계 배차전략을 제시하는 것이다. 2단계 배차는 실시간 위치 제어를 사용하여 이송차량과 크레인간의 대기시간을 절감시키기 위한 방법이다. 배차 1단계는 실시간 위치정보를 바탕으로 목적지 위치를 할당하는 것이며, 기존의 실시간 배차에서 이용되는 방식에 모니터링을 보안한 것이다. 배차 2단계는 이송차량의 싣기, 놓기, 집기 등의 기능을 작업장소의 작업상황에 따라 선택하여 작업지시를 내리는 것이다. 다기능 이송차량의 2단계 배차전략은 하역시스템의 대기시간을 감소시켜 생산성 향상에 기여할 것이다.

The sway motion control problem of a container hanging on the trolley is considered in this paper. In the container crane control problem, the main issue involves suppressing the residual swing motion of the container at the end of acceleration, during deceleration, or for an unexpected disturbance input. For this problem, in general, many trolley motion control strategies are introduced and applied. In this paper, we introduce and synthesize a swing motion control system, in which a small auxiliary mass is installed on the spreader. In this control system, the actuator reacting against the auxiliary mass applies inertial control forces to the container to reduce the swing motion in the desired manner.

PID controller has been used very widely in the industrial applications. But it is difficult tune the PID gains. In this paper, we present a design of optimal 2-DOF PID controller for control of container crane which has to control swing motion and trolley position. For tuning of the 2-DOF PID control gains, we used hybrid evolution program(EP). During operate the crane system in yard, the goal is transporting the load to a goal position as quick as possible without rope oscillation. The crane is generally operated by an expert operator, but recently an automatic control system with high accuracy and rapid transportation is required. However, we developed an optimal controller which has to control the crane system with disturbance.
