The most important thing in the container terminal is to handle the cargo effectively in the limited time. To achieve this object, many strategies have been introduced and applied to. If we consider the automated container terminal, it is necessary that the cargo handling equipments are equipped with more intelligent control systems. From the middle of the 1990's, an automated rail-mounted gantry crane(RMGC) and rubber-tired gantry crane(RTG) have been developed and widely used to handle containers in the yards. Recently, in these cranes, the many equipments like CCD cameras and sensors are mounted to cope with the automated terminal environment. In this paper, we try to support the development of more intelligent automated cranes which make the cargo handling be performed effectively in the yards. For this plant, the modelling, tracking control, anti-sway system design, skew motion suppressing and complicated motion control and suppressing problems must be considered. In this paper, the system modelling and a tracking control approach are discussed based on two-degree-of-freedom (2DOF) servosystem design.

Recently, an automatic crane control system is required with high speed and rapid transportation. Therefore, when container is transferred from the initial coordinate to the finial coordinate, the container paths should be built in terms of the least time and without sway. Therefore, we calculated the anti-collision path for avoiding collision in its movement to the finial coordinate in this paper. And we constructed the neural network predictive two degree of freedom PID (NNPPID) controller to control the precise navigation. The proposed Predictive control system is composed of the neural network predictor, two degree of freedom PID(TDOFPID) controller, neural network self-tuner which yields parameters of TDOFPID. We analyzed crane system through simulation, and proved excellency of control performance over the conventional controllers.

최근에, 자동화 크레인 제어 시스템은 빠른 속도와 신속한 수송이 요구되어 지고 있다. 따라서, 컨테이너가 초기좌표에서 최종좌표로 이동될 때 컨테이너 경로는 최소시간에 흔들림 없이 설계되어야 한다. 이를 위해 본 연구에서는 최종 좌표까지 이동에서 충돌을 피하기 위하여 충돌방지 경로를 계산하였다. 그리고, 정확한 주행 제어를 위해서 신경회로망 예측 PID제어기를 구성하였다. 제안된 예측제어 시스템은 PID 파라미터를 생산하기 위하여 신경회로망 예측기, PID 제어기 그리고 신경회로망 자기 동조기로 구성하였다 크레인 시스템을 통한 시뮬레이션 분석에서 다른 기존의 제어기들 보다 우수한 제어 수행을 증명하였다.

The most important job in the container terminal area is to handle the cargo effectively in the limited time. To achieve this object, many strategies have been introduced and applied to. If we consider the automated container terminal, it is necessary that the cargo handling equipments are equipped with more intelligent control systems. From the middle of the 1990's, an automated rail-mounted gantry crane(RMGC) and rubber-tired gantry crane(RTG) have been developed and widely used to handle containers in the yards. Recently, in these cranes, the many equipments like CCD cameras and sensors are mounted to cope with the automated terminal environment. In this paper, we try to support the development of more intelligent automated cranes which make the cargo handling be performed effectively in the yards. For this plant, the modelling, tracking control, anti-sway system design, skew motion suppressing and complicated motion control and suppressing problems must be considered. Especially, in this paper, the system modelling and tracking control approach are discussed. And, we design the tracking control system incorporating an observer based on the 2DOF servo system design approach to obtain the desired state informations. In the case of observer design, a weighted $H_{\infty}$ error bound approach for a state estimator is considered. Based on an algebraic Riccati equation(inequality) approach, a necessary and sufficient condition for the existence of a full-order estimator which satisfies the weighted $H_{\infty}$ error bound is introduced. Where, the condition for existence of the estimator is denoted by a Linear Matrix Inequality(LMI) which gives an optimized solution and observer gain. Based on this result, we apply it to the tracking control system design for the transfer crane.

본 논문은 컨테이너크레인의 흔들림제어의 한 방법으로, 이송증인 컨테이너가 임의의 이송궤적을 따라서 움직이도록 하고, 또한 트롤리 및 호이스트의 위치제어를 동시에 수행하는 가변구조제어에 관한 연구이다. 자동화터미널의 야석장에서 A지점에서 B지점으로 컨테이너를 옮기고자 할 때, 쌓여 있는 주위의 다른 컨테이너들을 피하면서 이송시키거나, 혹은 양하역 작업을 장애물이 존재하는 환경에서 수행할 때 주변의 장애물과 충돌하지 않도록 이송궤적을 만들어야 함은 필수적이다. 기존치 연구들이 무조건 흔들림이 작게끔 하는 것에 초점을 맞추었던 것에 반하여 본 논문에서는 비롯 흔들림이 발생하더라도 주어진 궤적을 추종하여 이송되게끔 하는 것에 그 특징이 있다. 트롤리 및 호이스트의 위치 및 속도오차 뿐 아니라 흔들림 각변위 및 각속도오차가 슬라이딩 평면으로 정의되며, 등속구간과 도착구간에서의 제어기가 각각 별도로 설계된다. 리아프노프 방법을 이용하여 안정성을 해석하였으며 파일럿 크레인을 이용한 실험결과를 제시한다.

Currently many studies on the unmanned gantry crane for the automated container terminal are accomplished. This is needed for the development of large scale, automation, high speed, unmanned system and information system in port facility. In order to do efficient container handling job in port yard, the automated handling system is well adapted to the job environments and all-season weather, In order to realize the automatic and unmanned system for container handling job, the required functions and main structure system are studied. The major problems of operation of the conventional gantry crane are that the vibration of gantry structure body is occurred by operation and that high-speed and precision position-velocity control and the capability to dope to the external disturbances caused by the wind, rain, fog and job environments. In this paper, the fundamental study for establishment of the concept and the dynamic modelling of the major sub system of the unmanned gantry crane is presented. These studies are useful for design and manufacturing of the new concept model of the unmanned gantry crane for efficient operation of the automated container terminal.
