In order to become a mega hub port, major ports all over the world are making every effort to enhance their productivity through efficiency of internal operation. Accordingly, in order to enhance the competitiveness of a container terminal, an automated container terminal is considered as the best alternative. An automated container terminal is using such automated handling equipment as AGV(Automated Guided Vehicles) and ATC(Automated Transfer Crane). The efficient equipment operation plays a critical role in enhancing the productivity of an automated container terminal. In an automated container terminal, the most important equipments are AGV and ATC. Each block of containers with a vertical layout is generally operating two ATCs. The two ATCs can be crossed or not at each block. In the case of operating crossover ATC, it has an advantage of high flexibility that ATC work is possible at both TP(Transfer Point) of each block. But it has also a disadvantage that the yard has to be operated at a low storage level of containers in the terminal yard. Recently, for automated container terminals, which are being prepared for opening in Korea, they plan to use uncrossed twin ATC in order to make the storage level of their yards high at a low cost. Therefore, studies have to be made in order to increase the efficiency of twin ATC system based on the flexibility that the crossover ATC system has. This research aims to suggest an operation strategy to improve efficiency of twin ATC at each storage block in a yard.

In this paper, we deal with an allocation model of vertical type container yard for minimizing the total ATC (Automated Transfer Crane) working time and the equivalence of ATC working load in each block on automated container terminal. Firstly, a layout of automated container terminal yard is shown The characteristic of equipment which work in the terminal and its basic assumption are given Next, an allocation model which concerns with minimizing the total working time and the equivalence of working load is proposed for effectiveness of ATC working in automated container terminal. Also, a weight values on critical function are suggested to adjust the critical values by evaluating the obtained allocation plan. For ATC allocation algorithm, we suggest a simple repeat algorithm for on-line terminal operation.

The operation rules to remarshaling works in yard is very important in automated container terminal (ACT). However, the decision rules for conventional container terminals have some restrictions to be applied to ACT whose block layout Is vortical for berth. The objective of this study is to propose the efficient operations rules for remarshaling works of automated transfer crane (ATC) in ACTs. Then, the various operation rules are simulated to verify the proposed operation rules. The results of the simulation study on various rules are provided and discussed.

본 연구의 목적은 시뮬레이션을 통하여 자동화 컨테이너터미널의 ATC에 의한 이적작업의 효과를 분석하는 것이다. 자동화 컨테이너터미널은 수직배치의 장치장 형태이며 한 블록에서 반입, 반출, 양하, 적하의 네가지 작업이 발생하게 되므로 운영측면에서 장치장 할당이 매우 중요한 문제이다. 그러므로 효율적인 장치장 운영을 위해서 ATC에 의한 한 블록내에서의 이적작업이 반드시 필요하다. 시뮬레이션 실험을 통하여 이적작업의 효율성을 분석하고 장치장 할당에 관한 방법을 제시한다.

Today, for improvement of container terminal productivity, it is necessary to develop ACT(Automated Container Terminal) But, decision rules for conventional container terminals expose various limitations to be applied to ACT. Specially it is important fact to assignment of containers, because the character of ACT which block layout is vertical for berth. And then there is need which assignment of containers with remarshaling work using ATC(Automated Transfer Crane)s. The objective of this study is to provide the operation rules for remarshaling work in ACT. To analyze the proposed rules, the simulation is performed, and we show efficiency of remarshaling on various remarshaling operation rules.

The major movement block of the containers have range between apron and designation points on yard in container terminal. The yard tractor operated by human takes charge of its movement in conventional container terminal. In automated container terminal, AGV(Automated Guided Vehicle) has charge of the yard tractor's role and the navigation path is ordered from upper level control system. The automated container terminal facilities must have the docking system to guide landing line to have high speed travelling and precision positioning. The general method for docking system uses the vision system with CCD camera, infra red, and laser. This paper describes the detection of AGV's position and orientation using laser slit beam to develop docking system.

자동화 컨테이너 터미널의 생산성은 자동화된 트랜스퍼 크레인(Automated Transfer Crane, ATC)의 속도에 관계된 성능뿐 만 아니라 컨테이너 블록의 크기에 크게 영향을 받는다. 본 연구에서는 ATC의 컨테이너 취급시간과 장치공간을 고려하여 수입 컨테이너 장치 블록의 크기를 어떻게 결정할 것인가에 대해서 다룬다. 먼저, 전형적인 수입 컨테이너 블록에서 ATC의 컨테이너 취급시간을 평가하는 모형을 제시한다. 둘째, 수입 컨테이너 블록의 크기를 결정하는 세 가지의 수리모형을 제시한다. 컨테이너 장치 블록의 크기를 결정하기 위해 제시한 모형들에 대한 수치예제를 제시한다.

본 연구에서는 수직블록배치형의 자동화 컨테이너 터미널을 대상으로 컨테이너 운반작업을 담당하는 2가지 유형의 이송장비인 무인이송차량(AGV)과 2단 적재차량(DSV)에 대한 이송능력을 분석하였다. AGV와 DSV의 주요 차이점은 안벽과 야드간의 컨테이너 운반시 적재용량이다. 기존의 자동화 터미널에 적용되고 있는 AGV은 20피트 컨테이너 2개 또는 40피트 컨테이너 1개의 적재용량을 가지지만, DSV는 20피트 컨테이너 4개 또는 40피트 컨테이너 2개를 동시에 적재할 수 있어 터미널 하역시스템의 효율성을 높일 수 있을 것으로 기대된다. 이에, 본 연구에서는 컨테이너 터미널의 이송장비 대한 처리능력을 분석할 수 있는 시뮬레이션 분석도구를 개발하여 이를 토대로 2가지 유형의 장비인 AGV와 DSV의 이송능력을 분석하였다. 본 연구의 결과로 실험대상 예제와 장비 생산성값이 제시되었다.

A remarshalling is one of the operational strategies considered importantly at a port container terminal for the fast ship operations and heighten efficiency of slacking yard. The remarshalling rearranges the containers scattered at a yard block in order to reduce the transfer time and the rehandling time of container handling equipments. This Paper deals with the rearrangement problem, which decides to where containers are transported considering time value of each operations. We propose the mixed integer programming model minimizing the weighted total operation cost. This model is a NP-hard problem. Therefore we develope the heuristic algorithm for rearrangement problem to real world adaption. We compare the heuristic algorithm with the optimum model in terms of the computation times and total cost. For the sensitivity analysis of configuration of storage and cost weight, a variety of scenarios are experimented.
