In this paper, we will present a container auto-landing system, the system use the stereo camera to measure the container depth information. And the container region can be detected by using its hough line feature. In the line feature detection algorithm, we will detect the parallel lines and perpendicular lines which compose the rectangle region. Among all the candidate regions, we can select the region with the same aspect-ratio to the container. The region will be the detected container region. After having the object on both left and right images, we can estimate the distance from camera to object and container dimension. Then all the detect dimension information and depth inform will be applied to reconstruct the virtual environment of crane which will be introduce in this paper. Through the simulation result, we can know that, the container detection rate achieve to 97% with simple background. And the estimation algorithm can get a more accuracy result with a far distance than the near distance.

In practical fields, the sway of crane systems leads to extra stress to the crane structure during the transporting operation and it is in close connection with its life. Usually, when we operate the cranes with high speed and manual control, the sway motion is irreducible. In this paper, a new type of crane system is proposed to avoid the irreducible sway of the crane systems. The proposed system is composed of mechanical arm with function of anti-sway based on conventional line system. By the anti-sway arm, we can realize to prevent the sway of the container box but cannot avoid the oscillation for the overall body of the crane. So, a controller design method to solve the above stated problem must be considered. The problem is solved by adopting the velocity pattern control methods of trapezoidal and curve types and its effectiveness is proved through experimental results.

The purpose of this paper is to describe the design of the decision support system for container terminal ship planning and to introduce the implemented system. The ship planning in container terminals consists of three major decision processes -the working schedule of gantry cranes the discharging sequence of inbound containers the loading position and sequence of outbound containers. For making these decision the proposed system can provide two ship planning modes the interactive planning mode with user-friendly GUI and the automated planning made. To implement the automated planning routine we acquired the planning rules from the expert planner in container terminals and developed an expert system based on the rules. Finally we evaluated the system developed and the potential for commercialization by using container terminal data.

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.

Six different types of velocity profiles of trolley movement of a container crane are investigated for the minimal sway angle at the target trolley position. Three velocity patterns which include trapezoidal, stepped and notched-type velocity patterns are obtained assuming constant rope length. The notched type velocity pattern is shown to be derived from the time-optimal bang-bang control. The stepped type velocity pattern can be shown to be derived as bang-off bang control as well. Considering the damping effect due to hoist motion a double stage acceleration pattern is also analyzed. The main objective of the paper is to show how much time-reduction can be obtained among several velocity patterns appearing in the literature.

Human action tracking plays an important place in human-computer-interaction, human action tracking is a challenging task because of the exponentially increased computational complexity in terms of the degrees of freedom of the object and the severe image ambiguities incurred by frequent self-occlusions. In this paper, we will propose a novel method to track human action, in our technique, a dynamic background estimation algorithm will be applied firstly. Based on the estimated background, we then extract the human object from the video sequence, and the skeletonization method and Hough transform method will be used to detect the main structure of human body and each part rotation angle. The calculated rotation angles will be used to control a crane in the port, thus we can just control the container crane by using signalman body. And the experimental results can show that our proposed method can get a preferable result than the conventional methods such as: MIT, JPF or MFMC.

본 연구에서는 이송장비의 조별운행방식과 Pooling 운행방식에 따른 컨테이너 터미널의 하역시스템 생산성을 비교분석하였다. 기존 컨테이너 터미널에서는 다수의 이송장비가 1개조로 구성되어 하나의 컨테이너 크레인(C/C)에 대해서만 양 ${\cdot}$ 적하작업을 지원하는 고정할당방식을 채택하고 있다. 이러한 할당방식은 하역작업시 혼선이 적고 차량이 일괄적 운행경로를 가지므로 지금까지 매우 광범위하게 적용되어 왔다. 그러나, 각기 다른 조에 편성된 이송장비간에는 상호지원을 하지 않기 때문에 이송장비의 작업융통성이 떨어진다고 볼 수 있다. 이에 비해 본 연구에서는 이송장비의 작업조를 편성하지 않고 투입된 모든 이송장비가 자유롭게 다수의 C/C에 대한 이송작업을 지원할 수 있는 4가지의 동적할당기법을 제시한다. 제시된 4가지의 동적할당은 차량할당시에 C/C의 순번(Se), 대기시간(Qt), 생산성(Pr), 차량할당수(Nv), 버퍼수(Nb)를 고려하는 것으로 연구결과에서 C/C의 현재대기시간, 할당수, 버퍼수를 동시에 고려한 동적할당방식이 가장 효율적이였고, 그 다음으로 할당순서에 기준한 방식이 우수한 결과를 보였다. 그러나, C/C의 현재생산성이나 대기시간만을 고려한 할당방식은 상대적으로 고정할당방식보다 낮은 효율성을 보이는 것으로 나타났다.

Many malfunctions take place in container crane spreader due to impact. So we designed a 2DOF hydraulic impact absorbing system with multi-step damping coefficient and studied the effect of orifice's interval and damping coefficient. The damping coefficient of upper piston was found to be 180 N.s/m, and the orifice's interval to be 9mm, the max reaction force and the average reaction force might be lowest. Compared with a general 2-DOF impact absorbing system, the max reaction force reduced by 46%., and average reaction force reduced by 5%.

In this paper, a feedback linearizing anti-sway control law, using a 2-D model for container cranes, is investigated. The equations of motion are first derived from Lagrange's equation. Then, by substituting the sway dynamics into the trolley dynamics, a reduction of variables from three (trolley, hoist, sway) to two (trolley, hoist) is pursued. The anti-sway control law is designed based on the Lyapunov stability theorem. The proposed control law guarantees the uniform asymptotic stability of the closed-loop system. The simulation results of the derived control law, using MATLAB/Simulink, are compared with those of the sliding mode control law, noted in previous literature. Also, experimental results using a 3-D pilot crane are provided.
