The existing automation transfer systems such as AGV(Automated Guided Vehicle) have many problems (maintenance, accuracy, velocity, etc.) and wastes of a vast space and time. Hence we have suggested to LMTT(Linear Motor-based Transfer Technology). This paper deals with fundamental LMTT, and proposes a concept of mass reduction and propulsion control for LMTT when it is starting and reaching an object by using lift-force. By applying optimal controller and the repulsive lift forte in the LMTT, a large percent of vehicle weight is compensated and it reduces friction, then it needs less thrust force to propel the vehicle.

LMTT (linear motor-based transfer technology) is horizontal transfer system in the maritime container terminal for the port automation. For LMTT system, shuttle cars are used instead of other types of cars. They are running on the routes which are stable on the terminal ground made of steel. The terminal scheduling complexity increases with the need of improving automation. It is necessary to make a good designed performance for the terminal system. This work presents a dispatching role using fuzzy logic for the shuttle cars. It considers the actual status of terminals and takes decisions on real time. A simulation is done to validate the role and two other dispatching rules to be compared.

In the maritime container terminal, LMTT (Linear Motor-based Transfer Technology) is horizontal transfer system for the yard automation, which has been proposed to take the place of AGV (Automated Guided Vehicle). The system is based on PMLSM (Permanent Magnetic Linear Synchronous Motor) that is consists of stator modules on the rail and shuttle car (mover). Because of large variant of mover's weight by loading and unloading containers, the difference of each characteristic of stator modules, and a stator module's trouble etc., LMCPS (Linear Motor Conveyance Positioning System) is considered as that the system is changed its model suddenly and variously. In this paper, we will introduce the soft-computing method of a multi-step prediction control for LMCPS using DR-FNN (Dynamically-constructed Recurrent Fuzzy Neural Network). The proposed control system is used two networks for multi-step prediction. Consequently, the system has an ability to adapt for external disturbance, cogging force, force ripple, and sudden changes of itself.

LMTT(Linear Motor based Transfer Technology) is a new type of transfer system used in the maritime container terminal fur the port automation, and largely consists of a controller, shuttle car, and rail. The shuttle car is divided into the frame part, the driving part, and wheels. In order to design this system, various researches on each part of it must be conducted. In this study, we dealt with the optimum design for the frame part of the shuttle car designed from previous studies on the strength of the frame with respect to the number of cross beams to minimize the weight of the shuttle car and to satisfy design criteria of cargo-handling systems in container terminal. For the optimization of the frame, thicknesses of each beam were adopted as design variables, the weight of the frame as objective function, and stress and deflection per unit length as constraint condition.

LMTT(Linear Motor based Transfer Technology)는 크게 제어 부, 셔틀 카, 레일로 구성되며, 항만의 자동화를 위한 컨테이너 부두에서 사용되는 새로운 형태의 이송장치이다. 셔틀카는 다시 프레임 부, 구동 부, 휠로 나뉜다. 이 장치를 설계하기 위하여 각 부품에 대한 다양한 연구가 수행되어져야 한다. 이 논문에서는 가로 보가 프레임의 강도에 미치는 영향에 대한 이전의 연구로부터 기초 설계된 프레임에 대해 항만설계기준을 만족하면서 셔틀카의 무게를 최소화할 수 있는 프레임의 치수 최적설계를 수행하였다. 최적화를 위해 설계변수로 프레임 각 부재의 두께를, 목적함수로 프레임의 무게를, 제약조건으로 설계기준 응력과 처짐을 설정하였다.

Significant increase of container flows in marine terminals requires more efficient automatic port systems. This paper presents a novel routing and collision avoidance algorithm of linear motor based shuttle cars using dynamic programming (DP). The proposed DP is accomplished online for determining optimal paths for each shuttle car. We apply our algorithm to Agile port terminal in USA.

In this paper, we present a novel control approach for linear motor-based transfer systems in which friction reduction and enhancement of control performance are considered. In general, in such systems friction effects from rails and wheels, and internal bearings complicate control scheme since in particularly its dynamics are arbitrarily changed due to mass variation, detent force of motor systems, and gaps among stators. Our control approach is achieved to reduce this undesired friction dynamics using fuzzy system. We construct hybrid control approach for this control system which Is composed of a nominal control and a vertical control against friction. Fuzzy parameter vector is optimally determined from iterative simulation experiments. We demonstrate its superiority via numerical simulations comparing with a traditional control method.
