Material handling equipment such as container cranes and transtainer cranes have made larger and faster to improve the efficiency of container handling. As conditions of use in container terminal have become severe, and also the automation level required has become higher. For the high level automation for transtainer crane, the following characteristics have to be developed 1) Container Terminal Operation & Planning System with high efficiency. 2)Autosteering System of transtainer crane with precise position sensing system using image processing and feedback control system. 3)Automatic Position Identification System with transponder. We have developed an AGSS(Automatic Gantry Steering System) of transtainer crane with image processing technology preferentially. In this paper, the system will be introduced.

The container crane is still operated by skillfull human operators. So an automatic crane operation system is strongly required. In this paper, the digital control method is applied to position an anti-swing control for container crane. Two methods of digital optimal regulator control and digital redesign control are used for experiment. From these experimental results, it is respected that both methods can be applied effectively to an actual container crane operation.

Lots of researches and applications on the automated overhead cranes in shops have been done for some decades, but a few successful results are reported. Integrated crane control systems designed by famous engineering companies are still expensive and are not satisfactory in view of maintenance and reliability. A more reasonable control system fit to requirements of manufacturing industries is suggested in the study. The new deigned system has superior capabilities for anti-sway of rope and position control. The controller for automated operations is composed of a Linux-based PC for non real-time control and a high-speed PLC for hard real-time control. Some algorithms required for coil yard operations as well as main control algorithms such as reference position generation, position control and anti-sway control have been designed and fully tested on the new crane simulator. The designed crane control system showed satisfactory performance on position control accuracy and anti-sway of rope. The maximum positional error is 8mm and the maximum sway error is 0.1 degrees. The suggested control strategies have been successfully applied to the 10-1 crane in No. 4 CGL of in the Kwangyang Steel Works and in commercial operation.

The amount of container freight continuously has been increased. and the low efficiency of container crane causes jamming frequently in transportation and cargo handling at port. The conventional control techniques based on a mathematical model are not well suited for dealing with ill-defined and uncertain systems. Recently. Fuzzy control has been successfully applied to a wide variety of practical problems as robots. automatic train operation system. etc. In this paper. a fuzzy controller for container crane is proposed to accomplish a design of improved control system for minimizing the swing motion at destination. In this scheme a mathematical model for the system is obtained in state space form. Finally. to exhibit the tracking performance and robustness of the proposed controller. computer simulations were carried out with various references, parameter variations and disturbances.

The super high rise building construction is characterized by a large quantity of engineering works and structural components, high demanding of construction technology and complex cross operations. As the height of super high rise building increases, the construction difficulties increase, it is challenging the steel structural building construction technology. In this paper, the key technologies in the construction of Chinese modern super high rise steel structure building have been studied. The innovative tower crane supporting frame suspension disassembly technology has been developed to allow the crane supporting frame to turnover in the air without occupying materials stockyard. A new self-elevating platform technique which is capable of striding over structural barriers has been developed. This new technology allows the platform to be self-elevated along variable cross section column with a maximum 600 mm size change. A new automatic submerged arc welding technology has also been developed to ensure the process continuity and quality stability of welding job on the construction site.

The paper is concerned with application to develop the expert system, which structural analysis and design process for tower cranes. The system is organized into three groups. One is pre-processor for creating input data files, another is `model former' which combines knowledge-base with inference engine for automatic generating structural analysis models, a third is application group for final analysis checks. In this study, geometric subroutine of `model former' designates node positions, nodes, elements numbers and element types. Load data subroutine computes weight of tower crane and device, slewing force, cargo load, wind force form rules or equations in knowledge-base. Also, Property and boundary subroutine applies element properties and boundary conditions to suitable elements and nodes. Design and analysis expert system for tower crane integrates these subroutine, `model former' and pre-processor. RBR(Rule-Base Reasoning) was adopted for a reasoning strategy of this expert system. And this expert system can produce structural analysis model and data, which can be used in ordinary structural analysis program (SAP, ADINA or NASTRAN, etc.). In this paper, this expert system produces format of the analysis model data, which are used in MSC/NASTRAN. The main discussions included in the paper are introduction of the tower crane and structural analysis, composition of the design expert system for tower crane and structural analysis using the expert system.

본 논문은 컨테이너터미널의 야드에서 무인으로 하역작업을 수행하는 자동화 크레인(ATC; Automatic Transfer Crane) 에서 신속하고 효율적으로 작업 대상인 컨테이너화물의 컬러 영상 이미지내의 컨테이너번호를 인식하는 방법에 대한 연구이다. 부산의 신선대부두 게이트에는 정부의 연구개발사업인 "지능형 항만물류시스템 기술 개발"에 의해 컨테이너번호 인식시스템이 설치되어 있다. 수출컨테이너화물을 자동으로 인식하기 위해 게이트에 터널식 구조물 내 카메라를 설치하여 컨테이너번호를 인식하는 방식이다. 그러나 컨테이너터미널에 자동화장비가 도입되고 작업의 무인화가 점진적으로 이루어짐에 따라 야드의 자동화크레인에서 작업 대상의 확인을 위한 컨테이너번호 인식시스템을 필요로 한다. 따라서 게이트와는 달리 햇빛, 비, 눈, 그림자 등 영상을 통한 문자인식의 방해요소가 많은 야드의 자동화크레인에서는 그에 맞는 컨테이너번호 인식시스템이 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 카메라, 조명, 센서 등 하드웨어 요소들의 변경과 주변 환경의 밝기차 등을 조절하여 번호를 인식하는 알고리즘 등 소프트웨어 요소들의 변화를 통해 태양광이나 하역장비 아래에 짙게 드리워지는 그림자 문제 등을 해결하고 인식시간의 단축과 인식률을 높이는 결과를 도출하였다.

Recently, fuzzy and neural network techniques have been successfully applied to control of complex and ill-defined system in a wide variety of areas, such as robot, water purification, automatic train operation system and automatic container crane operation system, etc. In this paper, we present a neuro-fuzzy controller which unifies both fuzzy logic and multi-layered feedforward neural networks. Fuzzy logic provides a means for converting linguistic control knowledge into control actions. On the other hand, feedforward neural networks provide salient features, such as learning and parallelism. In the proposed neuro-fuzzy controller, the parameters of membership functions in the antecedent part of fuzzy inference rules are identified by using the error backpropagation algorithm as a learning rule, while the coefficients of the linear combination of input variables in the consequent part are determined by using the least square estimation method. Finally, the effectiveness of the proposed controller is verified through computer simulation of an inverted pendulum system.

이 논문은 선적 및 하역 작업을 위해 겐추리 크레인으로 들어오는 컨테이너 트레일러의 위치 추적 시스템에 대하여 기술한다. 위치 추적 시스템은 트레일러가 겐추리 크레인에 접근하였을 때 트레일러의 정지 지점을 운전자에게 알려준다. 위치 측정 센서는 RF 신호와 초음파 방식을 채택한 크리켓 mote 모듈을 사용하였다. 실시간 전송을 위해 위치 측정 주기를 단축하였으며 삼각측량 방법에 따른 3 차원 위치 계산식과 환경적 요인에 의한 거리 측정 오류 감소 방법을 제시하였다. 측정된 위치는 블루투스 통신을 통해 주기적으로 운전자 앞의 PDA (Personal Digital Assistant)에 전송된다. 실내외 테스트 결과 위치 오류는 3 cm 이내로 개선되었으며 위치 측정 표시 주기는 평균 0.5초였다.
