A hybrid control architecture combining deliberative and reactive controls for the autonomous operation of the cranes is proposed. The main contributions of this paper are as follows： First, a new reference platform for the crane control system is proposed. Second, by analyzing the structure of a container crane, implementation strategies for the automatic container crane are described.

iTOP(integrated-design Tool Of Plant)은 철골공장을 대상으로 한 모델링, 구조해석, 후처리, 부재설계, 구조계산서, 구조도면 및 물량산출에 이르는 일련의 과정을 유기적으로 통합한 시스템이다. 크레인 주행도를 주요 인터페이스 도구로 이용하고 \"크레인 하중조건\"이라는 개념을 새로이 도입함으로써, 각 크레인의 주행 범위 및 하중 옵션을 경우별로 설정할 수 있도록 하였다. 이에 따라 크레인거더의 설계 및 해석하중의 계산이 효과적으로 이루어지고, 제반 데이터에 따른 크레인 하중조합의 산정은 완전히 자동화되었다.

Recently, an automatic crane control system is required with high speed and rapid transportation. During the operation of crane system in container yard it is necessary to control the crane trolley position and loop length so that the swing of the hanging container is minimized We can do development of unmanned automation control system using automation travel control technique and anti-sway technique in crane system. Therefore, we designed a controller for Automation travel control to control the transfer crane system. Analyzed crane system through simulation, and proved excellency of control performance than other conventional controllers.

Crane systems are very important in industrial fields to carry heavy objects such that many investigations about control of the systems are actively conducted for enhancing its control performance. This paper presents an adaptive control approach using the model matching for a complex 3-DOF nonlinear crane system. First, the system model is linearized through feedback linearization method and then PD control is applied in the approximated model. This linear model is considered as nominal to derive corrective control law for a perturbed crane model using Lyapunov theory. This corrective control is primitively aimed to compensate real-time control deviation due to partially known perturbation. We additionally study stability analysis of the crane control system using Lyapunov perturbation theory. Evaluation of our control approach is numerically carried out through computer simulation and its superiority is demonstrated comparing with the classical control.

현장에서 크레인에 대한 전문적인 지식을 얻는데는 많은 시간과 노력이 소요되고 있으며 전문가의 숫자가 한정되어 있어서 고장 발생시 전문가를 부르는데 시간이 많이 소요된다. 이 문제를 해결하기 위하여 깊은 전문지식 없이 크레인의 고장을 신속히 진단하고 조치방안을 제시하는 전문가 시스템을 개발하였다. 개발범위는 가장 빈번히 고장이 발생하는 전기 부문중 전동기와 브레이크로 범위르 국한시켰다. 우선 크레인의 전기 부문에서 일어나는 고장 원인과 증상을 분석하고, EXSYS라는 전문가 시스템 Shell을 사용해 Rule을 개발하였다. 또한 각 증상에 따른 조치방법을 작업자에게 가르쳐 주기 위하여 FoxPro를 사용하여 Instruction Data Base를 개발하였다.

The efficient vertical lift planning has been brought into relief in high-rise building construction projects. Particularly, the selection and stability examination of the tower cranes is the most important elements in vertical lift planning. Therefore, professional knowledge is needed to full fill the site condition for the plan. However, there are short of the number of specialists and information about tower cranes. This study proposes a system for the selection of the optimum tower cranes (Opt-TC) in high-rise building construction projects. The Opt-TC can give the selection and stability examination of tower cranes at once in real-time.

In this paper, we study and simulate the suggested position control system using GPS and USN to replace the existing control system of a crane. For the correct approach, the position control system of a crane is divided into the control system of the ground station and the mobile station The hardware is comprised of GPS receiving module to receive the position control data of a crane from GPS satellites, bluetooth communication module for the data communication between the ground station and the mobile station, supersonic sensor module for a precise position control of a crane, motor to replace a crane roller, embedded MCU(ATmega128L) and so on. In here, an embedded MCU controls GPS receiving module, bluetooth communication module and supersonic sensor module. The Software is comprised of three programs. Three programs are the program to filter GGA output part in a receiving data of GPS receiving module, the driving program for supersonic sensor module, the digital map program to monitor a crane location. From the simulation results, it is demonstrated that the proposed system has the capability of crane position control with 1cm precision.

In Korea, the location of yard tractors is figured out in real time by using RFID system in container terminals. However, even though the location recognition of RFID system works fine when transfer crane is in yard operation, there are some problems when container crane is in ship operation. That is because yard tractors come one by one to each transfer crane in an order, but yard tractors come in 4 lanes to the container crane, which makes the system impossible to recognize each yard tractor separately. Therefore, we developed the infrared-ray communication system which can recognize yard tractors accurately in not only in the yard operation of transfer crane but also in the ship operation of container crane in same way in this study. The result in this study showed constant number of recognition, and the range of recognition measures 5.7m in 25m distance. The range of recognition shown in this study is enough to recognize each yard tractor passing under container crane separately.

현재 컨테이너 터미널에서 사용되고 있는 하역 장비들은 크게 하역작업을 수행하는 크레인과 컨테이너를 운반하는 트레일러, 컨테이너의 하역상태를 파악하는 모니터링 시스템으로 구분할 수 있다. 각각의 장비들은 수동으로 동작되며, 모니터링 시스템에서는 컨테이너의 위치 및 수량 등을 파악한다. 이런 시스템 하에서는 모든 항만 하역 장비들을 사람이 일일이 수동으로 조작함으로써 많은 인력이 필요하다. 또한, 각 하역장비들의 상태를 평면적인 2차원 화면으로만 보여주므로써 모니터링 시스템에 대한 현실감이 떨어진다. 이와 같은 단점을 보완하기 위해 컨테이너를 자동으로 운반하는 AGV를 도입하고 트랜스퍼 크래인과 컨테이너 크레인의 일부분을 자동화하여 작업능률을 향상시키고, 여기에 3차원으로 표현된 VR 시스템을 도입하여 각 하역장비들에 대한 세세한 동작까지를 모니터링함으로써 사용자가 현장에 있는 것과 유사한 느낌을 가질 수 있도록 하였다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 3차원 VR시스템과 모형으로 만들어진 AGV와 컨테이너 크레인, 트랜스퍼 크레인간의 유기적인 데이터 송,수신 및 안정적인 통신을 위해 데이터 포맷에 대한 연구를 하였다. 이런 데이터 포맷의 결정은 손실 없는 통신을 보장하며 나아가 정확한 모니터링을 보장할 것이다.
