The objective of this study is to develop the alternative model of the container transport vehicle of high productivity for the purpose of the increase of terminal productivity. In order to develop the alternatives, we analyze the technical specification of existing transport vehicles such as YT(Yard Tractor), S/C(Straddle Carrier), SHC(Shuttle Carrier), and AGV(Automated Guided Vehicle) and investigate the operation and performance of transport vehicles to classify the technical generation. The development alternative of transport vehicle presented in this study will usefully be apply to advanced container terminal with higher productivity in near future.

In this paper, we propose the effective operating device in the container freight station by applying the RTLS (Real Time Location System) that provides information on the container's location in real time so that the performance of the port operating system can be improved. For this, we proposed the improved dual cycling method made with the new application of two types of container's location & yard tractor's location information. we applied the RTLS to the container freight station to send the container location data to the operating system in real time; we designed the data on the Yard Tractor's location to be received via the GPS receiver and then be sent to the operating system in real time via the CDMA module. According to the analysis and evaluation of the performance of the proposed method, up to 24% of performance improvement was shown compared with the existing methods, in aspect of evaluation of work time, work time deviation and performance. Therefore, we proved that the RTLS and the GPS receiver are essential elements for efficient port operation.

컨테이너터미널 장치장 내 교차로에서 무인 YT(Yard Tractor)간 충돌방지를 위하여 RFID(Radio Frequency Identification) 태그와 ad-hoc 네트워크를 이용한 교차로 충돌방지 알고리즘을 제안한다. 또한 ad-hoc 네트워크 라우팅 프로토콜은 장치장 교차로에서 충돌방지를 위한 YT 간 통신성능을 결정하는 중요한 요소로써, 장치장 교차로 환경과 YT의 이동성을 고려하여 프로토콜을 결정해야 한다. 따라서 RFID 태그를 이용한 YT 위치정보와 AODV(Ad hoc On demand Distance Vector) 방식의 Hello 메시지를 이용해서 충돌방지를 위한 ad-hoc 네트워크 라우팅 프로토콜을 제안한다.

항만 내 대표적인 하역장비로는 RTG와 YT가 있으며 주로 디젤엔진을 사용하고 있다. 항만의 그린화 및 무인화를 위해 물류장비의 전기동력 전환의 필요성 증가 및 전기동력 충전을 위한 유선 또는 무선 충전기술 등이 고려 되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 항만에서 운영되는 전기식 YT의 운영 패턴을 고려해 수시로 충전이 가능한 무선전력 전송시스템을 제안하였다. 또한 제안한 시스템의 검증을 위해 실험용 시스템을 구축하여 전력전송 용량 및 효율실험 결과를 통하여 타당성을 확인하였다.

본 논문은 최근 항만 터미널 장치장 내 무인 자동화가 빠르게 연구 진행되고 있는 가운데 다양한 자동화 기술들이 제공되고 있다. 우리는 장치장 내 효과적인 작업 효율을 위하여 RFID(Radio Frequency Identification)를 이용한 무인이송장비(YT:Yard Tractor)의 정지위치 인식 시스템을 제안한다. 제안된 시스템은 장치장내에서 YT의 정지하고자 하는 장소에서 RFID의 신호와 LANDMARK를 이용하여 정지한다. 정지 위치 장소에 두 개의 RFID태그를 설치하여 작업영역 및 정지위치를 각각의 태그 정보에 포함시킨다. YT는 정지장소에 도달하면 지정된 작업 영역인지 태그 정보를 통해 확인하고, 확인 후 정지위치정보를 포함하는 태그와 LANDMARK를 통해 정확한 위치에 정지한다.

The synchronized operation of a quay crane(QC) and a transfer crane(TC) increases the productivity of a container terminal. In this paper, analytical models are suggested for the optimal number and the optimal operation of the yard trucks (YTs) which travel between a quay crane and a transfer crane in a container terminal. YT may represent yard tractor, AGV and shuttle carrier. The analytical models are so simple and useful that the analysis and the results of this paper can be used not only in container terminal practices but also in many other application fields.

Recently, container terminal managers make an experiment on the double cycle and dual cycle operation, which ship loading and unloading were carried out simultaneously, for increasing the productivity of quay side. If, however, we make an experiment on dual cycle operation in a real job site, the efficiency is poor up to terminal operation method as YTs(Yard Tractors)' allocation method, QCs(Quay Cranes)' working speed, and position of export containers. Especially, using the existing yard operation method, it is difficult to support to dual and double cycle operation. Therefore, this paper examine more efficient terminal operation method, when terminal uses dual cycle operation. We developed a simulation model using simulation analysis software, Arena.

Recent global supply chain, improving the efficiency of container shipping process is very important. In the overseas shipping of goods, the voyage of super containership is common to overcome amount of increasing cargo. Thus, container terminal managers make an experiment on the double cycle and dual cycle operation, which ship loading and unloading were carried out simultaneously, for maximizing the productivity of quay side. Yard Tractors(YTs) pooling methods also are introduced for increasing the efficiency of assignment of YTs. In this paper, we analyzed the efficiency of dual cycling through comparing existing pooling methods with the modified method for the dual cycling. We developed a simulation model using simulation analysis software, Arena. The result of experiment shown that the more dual cycling don't always increase the gross crane rate(GCR), which means productivity of quay cranes(QCs) per hour.
