효율적인 항만 운영을 위해서는 항만 하역 장비의 자동화와 하역 장비의 효과적인 운영이 필요하다. 하역 장비를 제작하고 그 운영을 실제로 현장에서 직접 시도하여 그 결과를 분석하기에는 시간과 비용이 많이 소모되므로 이를 효과적으로 행하기 위해서 시뮬레이션 방법이 많이 이용된다. 본 논문은 VR 기술을 항만 하역 장비의 시뮬레이션에 적용한 것으로, 기존 컴퓨터 시뮬레이션의 단점인 현실감 부족을 개선하고 실제 하역 장비의 모형을 만들어 시뮬레이션에 이용했다. 사용자는 실제 하역 장비들의 하역 과정을 3차원 공간에서 표현된 컴퓨터 화면을 통해 현장과 유사한 현실감을 느끼면서 시뮬레이션 할 수 있으며, 하역 장비들에 대한 다양한 정보를 얻을 수 있다. 향후로는 실제 하역 장비의 이동과 위치 추정 및 감시, 작업 통제 등이 가능한 하역 장비 운영을 위한 실시간 통합 운영 시스템이 될 수 있도록 할 예정이다.

Though the productivity increased by 50% as KBCT was the first to use ATC System in Korea, productivity is unlikely to be improved any longer because of unsatisfactory detailed automation technology development. Accordingly, the government embarked on 'high efficiency ATC technology development', but it is important to avoid overlapping with other advanced technology which is already developed, and to develop differentiated technology which has the way about it. To accomplish this, this paper suggested in-depth analysis about established domestic and overseas technologies, clear goal setting to achieve world-class level productivity, and rational development road map for success in technology development. Through this, as to the ATC automatization technology development, the ports of our country precedes in a competition with the ports of the neighboring country, and it will jump to the Northeast Asia Logistics-Hub-port and a role as growth engine for next-generation in our country will be played. In addition, the result of the technology development will become the standard of the performance evaluation of the relative technique of the domestic automated terminal, and will be leads the world in this field of technology.

Since Emma Maersk, which is a container vessel capable of holding a freight capacity of 11,000 TEU, was launched early last year, the appearance of the ULCS (Ultra Large Container Ship) will be expected in 5 years. That requires the high productivity, the high technology, the automation, and the high efficiency in port operations. GTO (Global Terminal Operator) and port equipment companies are striving for the prior occupation of the port market and the development of the port technology. Within the country, however, there has been few systematic, analytic, and detailed technology road map, and the effective execution of the development policy for the port technology and the activation of port industries has not been achieved. In this study, we deduces the development subject of the domestic port technology and analyzes the priority of them. In conclusion, we establishes the macro technology road map and the product-related road map for container ports in Korea.

The RFID technology has attracted much attention these days due to the far better efficiency than the bar-code and magnetic card system. As an important usage, the 433 MHz active RFID tag was already adopted to the container ports in the United States and Europe for container loading/unloading automation and equipment location. However, there is one problem to be solved for the complete automation. RFID readers support only the direct communication with tags within their RF communication range. Then there are a lot of containers and equipments such as crane, yard tractor, and forklift in ports; and because they are made of metal, they interfere the RF communication, resulting in the occurrence of the dead-zone. In the dead-zone, RFID tags cannot receive any signal from readers. There may be several solutions to resolve the dead-zone problem. Among them, this paper suggests the most economical solution where RFID tags in the dead-zone can communicate with readers via neighbor tags in the multi-hop manner The new RFID communication architecture should be carefully designed in order to maintain the compatibility with the previous standard. Our experiment shows that the proposed architecture works well even in the case where some tags are out of the RF range of reader.

This paper describes the method of efficient container number recognition in colored container image with number plate at ATC(Automatic Transfer Crane) in container terminal yard. At the Sinseondae terminal gate in Busan, the container number recognition system is installed by "intelligent port-logistics system technology development", that is government research and development project. It is the method that it sets up the tunnel structure inside camera on the gate and it recognizes the container number in order to recognize the export container cargo automatically. However, as the automation equipment is introduced to the container terminal and the unmanned of a task is gradually accomplished, the container number recognition system for the confirmation of the object of work is required at ATC in container terminal yard. Therefore, the container number recognition system fitted for it is necessary for ATC in container terminal yard in which there are many intrusive of the character recognition through image including a sunlight, rain, snow, shadow, and etc. unlike the gate. In this paper, hardware components of the camera, illumination, and sensor lamp were altered and software elements of an algorithm were changed. that is, the difference of the brightness of the surrounding environment, and etc. were regulated for recognize a container number. Through this, a shadow problem, and etc. that it is thickly below hung with the sunlight or the cargo equipment were solved and the recognition time was shortened and the recognition rate was raised.

The purpose of this study was to assess the current status of cyber security at the Busan Port container terminal and derive strengthening factors through exploratory research. In recent years, the maritime industry has actively adopted Fourth Industrial Revolution technologies, resulting in changes in the form of ports, such as automated and smart terminals. While these changes have brought positive improvements in port efficiency, they have also increased the potential for cyber security incidents and threats, including information leakage through cargo handling equipment and ransomware attacks leading to terminal operations disruption. Especially in the case of ports, cyber security threats can have not only local effects within the port but also physical damage and implications for national security. However, despite the growing cyber security threats within ports, research related to domestic port cyber security remains limited. Therefore, this study aimed to identify factors for enhancing cyber security in ports and derive future enhancement strategies. The study conducted an analysis focusing on the Busan Port container terminal, which is one of the leading ports in South Korea actively adopting Fourth Industrial Revolution technologies, and conducted a survey of stakeholders in the Busan Port container terminal. Subsequently, exploratory factor analysis was used to derive strengthening factors. This study holds significance in providing directions for enhancing cyber security in domestic container ports in the future.
