The main function of a container terminal is to load container freights into vessels and discharge them from vessels. The container terminal needs to utilize its resources effectively in order to improve the productivity of it. This study deals with the deployment model for yard cranes whose type is RMGC (rail mounted gantry crane). We develop a mathematical model for the deployment of yard cranes. The model considers not only the deployment but also the storage plans. It could be divided into two cases according to whether inter-block movements of yard cranes are allowed or not, during the same period Numerical examples are solved and analyzed to validate the model. Then, additional experiments are performed to compare the performance of the model with that of a previous model without the re-deployment of yard cranes.

This paper propose a heuristic method that divides the block into some work regions to operate stacking cranes efficiently in a automated container terminal where the blocks with non-crossing stacking cranes(SC) are laid out in perpendicular to the quay. Typically, fund over between SCS and trucks occur at each side if the blocks, and each if the landside and seaside SCS is responsible for the jobs that occur at its own side. When a container to be fetched is located far from fund over point, the SC should move a long distance and the interference between the two cranes am occur, which decreases the productivity of the SCS. Therefore, our method divides the block into two exclusive and one shared regions and let the containers located far from their fund over points to be transferred to the shared region by the other side crane before they are carried out. Although simple this method am reduce the crane movement and the interference between the two cranes. Simulation experiment shows that our proposed method significantly improves the productivity if the container terminal than previous heuristic that does not divide work regions.

This paper analyzed productivity of quay cranes on container terminal that have perpendicular yard layout block. In most existing container terminals, quay cranes of single trolley type are used to loading and unloading containers, but quay crane productivity of these type has many limitation about large size containership. For these reasons, recently quay cranes of various type that mn improve productivity are developed and as the representative example, dual trolley, double trolley, supertainer are developing. These cranes are realized that very high productivity bemuse their cycle time is short more than existent single trolley quay crane. Therefore, we analyzed productivity of these cranes that are realized by next generation crane alternatives and as result qf this research, mechaniml productivity by cycle time and net productivity by simulation were measured.

The purpose of this paper is to evaluate the quay crane productivity in automated container terminal with perpendicular yard layout. In particular, four quay crane (single trolley/dual trolley/double trolley/supertainer) are considered to evaluate the productivity on the terminal performance. Each quay crane load or unload containers by a different process. For each quay crane, two productivities are considered and compared: mechanical productivity, net productivity. As the net productivity of quay crane is significant, in this paper, an application of simulation model to simulate automated container terminal is developed and a wide variety of computational experiments were conducted.

장치장 재정돈이란 장치장 크레인의 유휴시간을 활용하여 최대의 효율로 적하작업을 할 수 있도록 장치장의 컨테이너들을 미리 재배치하는 작업을 말한다. 본 논문에서는 수직 배치 자동화 컨테이너 터미널의 장치장을 대상으로 블록 내 재정돈 작업 계획을 수립하는 알고리즘을 제안한다. 제안된 알고리즘은 장치장 재정돈 작업 계획을 목표 장치형태 결정 및 크레인 작업 계획의 2단계로 나누어 수립한다. 시뮬레이션 시스템을 이용하여 재정돈을 수행하기 전과 후의 장치장에 대해 적하 작업 효율을 비교한 결과 재정돈 후 안벽 크레인의 대기 시간이 감소하고, 장치장의 재취급 작업 수가 줄어드는 등 적하 작업 효율이 향상되는 것을 확인하였다.

액체로켓엔진 조립을 위한 엔진 조립장이 국내에 구축되어야 하며 이에 대하여 국내의 사례가 없으므로 해외 엔진 조립장의 사례를 조사하였다. SNECMA, EADS, Rocketdyne 등의 조립장의 구조, 레이아웃, 청정설비, 크레인 등을 조사하였다. SNECMA 엔진조립장은 Vulcain 엔진의 대형엔진 조립라인 및 HM7, Vinci 엔진 등의 소형엔진 조립라인으로 구성되어 있다. 청정도는 코어 및 Subassembly 조립실은 100 K class 이며, 기타 나머지 조립공간은 300K class로 구축되어 있다. EADS의 엔진 조립장은 중앙에 연소기 부품을 가공하는 가공장비들이 배치된 하이베이 구역이 있으며, 이 하이베이 구역의 측면에 사무실, 측정실, 회의실 등의 로우베이 기능실들이 배치되어 있다. Rocketdyne 엔진 조립시설은 청정도 300K class이하의 엄격한 청정도 관리가 없는 것으로 보이며 치구형태의 개별 플랫폼을 사용하여 공간 활용을 효율적으로 할 수 있도록 하고 있다.

In this study, dynamic load and dynamic contact force between a building block and wire ropes of a goliath crane are calculated during lifting or turn-over of a building block for the design of an optimal lug arrangement system. In addition, a multibody dynamics kernel for implementing the system were developed. In the multibody dynamics kernel, the equations of motion are constructed using recursive formulation. To evaluate the applicability of the developed kernels, the interferences and dynamic contact force between the building block and wire ropes were calculated and then the hull structural analysis for the block was performed using the calculation result.

This study aims to provide an optimal model for the layout of multiple tower cranes and material stockyards which have multiple candidate positions. In a high-rise building construction, the positional allocation of tower cranes and material stockyard has an effect on the travel time of material hauling. In addition, in case of using multiple tower cranes, specific location of a tower crane allocated to each material determines the efficiency of the works. Current optimal model limited to the optimization of position of single tower crane and material stockyards. This study suggests optimal model both for the positions of multiple tower cranes and material stockyards. Layout of multiple tower cranes requires additional allocation of each crane to each material hauling and control on the minimum distance between tower cranes. This optimization model utilizes genetic algorithm to deal with complex interaction on the candidate positions of multiple tower cranes, material stockyards, and types of materials. In order to identify its utility, case study was performed.

In order to increase the productivity of container terminals, automation is being considered seriously in nowadays. A yard is usually automated by running autumated RMGs (rail mounted gantries) which may require somewhat a different stacking strategy to archive a better performance. In this paper, we present a simulation model for RMGs and summarize experimental results with two different stacking strategies applied to a horizontal block which has two non-crossable RMGs. The concentrating strategy, which stacks containers belong to a single ship together and dedicateds each RMG to either ship services or external truck services, showed a good performance in ship unloading. In the contrast, the distributing strategy, which partitions a block into two regions and binds each RMG to one of the regions to improve the productivity of ship services by running each RMG alternately, is suggested for blocks of exporting.
