정부는 자동화컨테이너터미널을 구축하기 위한 기초연구를 수행하고 있다. 자동화컨테이너터미널은 선박하역을 담당하는 컨테이너 크레인과 애드크레인을 무인 혹은 유/무인 자동제어가 가능하도록 설계하고 선박과 야드간 이동은 AGV를 이용하여 자동화함으로써 생산성 향상, 인건비 절감 등을 목표로 하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 1척의 선박이 접안할 수 있는 가상의 자동화컨테이너터미널에서 컨테이너 크레인 수, AGV 대수, 야드 크레인수 등을 변화시켜가면서 터미널의 생산량을 추정할 수 있는 시뮬레이션 모델을 개발하여 제시하였다. 또한 향후 자동화컨테이너터미널의 최적 설계 및 운영을 위한 시뮬레이터를 개발하기 위한 구상을 제시하였다.

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.

In this paper, an open architecture control system for automatic container cranes is investigated. A standard reference model for cranes, which consists of three modules； hardware module, operating system module, and application software module, is proposed. 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.

Today's port system,; require larger and faster operation of transfer cranes in order to accommodate rapidly increasing traffic. These cranes need precise control of their components for operational efficiency. This paper presents an IEEE 1451 based smart module that allows numerous sensors and actuators of the crane to attach themselves to various networks more easily. The smart module has been experimentally evaluated on a CAN network for its performance.

Recently, container terminal operators have made efforts to develop an efficient remarshalling plan in response to the increase in automation of equipment handling and transport of containers in the terminals. Usually, containers are handled by multiple AYCs(automated yard cranes) in-yard in an automated container terminal, and terminal operators establish a remarshalling plan using slack time to increase the efficiency of ship operation. This study develops the optimal mathematical model through mixed integer programming as a solution to the problem of dispatching multiple AYCs. Considering the difficulty of direct application to the field due to computation time, we analyze the five prototypical dispatching rules for real world adaptation. A numerical experiment found that the maximum weight ratio (MR) rule and the maximum weight (MW) rule are the ideal dispatching solutions to the multiple AYCs dispatching problem.

This paper proposes a realtime scheduling method using local search algorithm for non-crossable yard cranes in automated container terminal. To take into consideration the dynamic property of yard crane operation and satisfy the real time constraint, the proposed method repeatedly builds crane schedule for the jobs in a fixed length look-ahead horizon whenever a new job is requested In addition, the proposed method enables the co-operation between yard cranes through prior re-handling and re-positioning in order to resolve the workload imbalance problem between the two cranes, which is one of the primary causes that lower the performance of yard cranes. Simulation-based experiments have shown that the proposed method outperforms the heuristic based methods, and the cooperation scheme contributes a lot to the performance improvement.

이적작업은 자동화 컨테이너 터미널에서 하역작업의 생산성을 높이는 중요한 운영 전략 중의 하나이다. 이는 장치장 크레인의 이동시간과 재작업을 줄이기 위해 장치장 블록 내 컨테이너들의 재배치하는 작업을 의미한다. 이적작업은 주로 크레인의 유휴시간에 수행되며 장치장 크레인의 추가적인 하역 작업을 요구한다. 이적작업계획이 수립된 후 작업할당 문제가 다루어진다. 크레인 작업할당 문제는 작업가능시간에 대한 제약을 고려하여 이적작업의 효과를 최대화시키기 위해 장치장 크레인이 처리할 이적작업을 선정하고 이들의 작업순서를 정하는 것이다. 본 연구는 혼합정수계획법을 이용하여 장치장 크레인의 작업할당 문제를 모형화 하고 실효적인 이용을 위해 수치실험을 통해 여러 작업할당 규칙의 수행도를 비교분석하였다.

Recently, a container shipping volume has increased dramatically and continued on a trend of rapid growth, and so the number of container handled at the port increase. therefore, it's increasing about concern of harbor automatism to save distribution costs in harbor. harbor automatism classifies into four large automatism's, gate automatism by using RFID that trailer come with burdening the container to be loaded on ships go though with RFID and Quay-Side container crane automatism that treats cargos loading on ships and automatism of CG that loads containers from yard, and automatism of container transporters that carries containers in between gates. To increase the using efficiency of harbor, detecting exact location of yard crane is very important matter. In this paper, propose about yard crane automatism applied UWB Location system and the development direction.

In an automated container terminal, automated stacking cranes(ASCs) take charge of handling of containers in a block of the stacking yard. This paper proposes a multi-criteria strategy to solve the problem of job dispatching of twin ASCs which are identical to each another in size and specification. To consider terminal situation from different angles, the proposed method evaluates candidate jobs through various factors and it dispatches the best score job to a crane by doing a weighted sum of the evaluated values. In this paper, we derive the criteria for job dispatching strategy, and we propose a genetic algorithm to optimize weights for aggregating evaluated results. Experimental results are shown that it is suitable for real time terminal with lower computational cost and the strategy using various criteria improves the efficiency of the container terminal.
