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.

Recently, many enterprises are installing AMSs(Automated Manufacturing Systems) for their competitive advantages. As the level of automation increases, proper design and validation of control logic is a imperative task for the successful operation of AMSs. However, current discrete event simulation methods mainly focus on the performance evaluation. As a result, they lack the modeling capabilities for the detail logic of automated manufacturing system controller. Proposed in this paper is a method of validation of the controller logic for automated material handling system using an object-oriented design and simulation. Using this method, FA engineers can validate the controller logic easily in earlier stage of system design, so they can reduce the time for correcting the logic errors and enhance the productivity of control program development Generated simulation model can also be used as a communication tool among FA engineers who have different experiences and disciplines.

In this paper, an automated vehicle intersection collision accident was analyzed through simulation. Recently, the more automated vehicles are distributed, the more accidents related to automated vehicles occur. Accidents may show different trends depending on the sensor characteristics of the automated vehicle and the performance of the accident prevention system. Based on NASS-CDS (National Automotive Sampling System-Crashworthiness Data System) and TAAS (Traffic Accident Analysis System), four scenarios are derived and simulations are performed. Automated vehicles are applied with a virtual system consisting of an autonomous emergency braking system and algorithms that predict the route and avoid collisions. The simulations are conducted by changing the sensor angle, vehicle speed, the range of the sensor and vehicle speed range. A range of variables considered vehicle collision were derived from the simulation.

In this study, we introduce a 3D simulation model to support the design on ACT(Automated Container Terminal) using 3D animation. The developed simulation model simulate virtual operations of ACT and animate the simulated results with real time. We provide several validation points for the design of ACT. And the developed system applied an object-oriented design and C++ programming to increase the reusability and extensibility. We can perform the various simulation experiment and analyze performances to estimate the required number of equipment using developed simulation model.

Since real road experiments have many restrictions, a multi-vehicle traffic simulator can be an effective tool to develop and evaluate fully automated driving systems. This paper presents multi-vehicle environment simulation tool to develop and evaluate motorway automated driving systems. The proposed simulation tool consists of following two main parts: surrounding vehicle model and environment sensor model. The surrounding vehicle model is designed to quickly generate rational complex traffic situations of motorway. The environment sensor model depicts uncertainty of environment sensor. As a result, various traffic situations with uncertainty of environment sensor can be proposed by the multi-vehicle environment simulation tool. An application to automated driving system has been conducted. A lane changing algorithm is evaluated by performance indexes from the multi-vehicle environment simulation tool.

Simulation has been recognized as one of major application areas of world wide web. Over the last several years, most research has been focused on the development of web-based simulation languages mostly using JAVA and validation of simulation modeling on web with the newly developed languages. In this paper, we develop a tentative web-based simulator for a simple unit-load automated warehouse system, named Web-SAW. In constructing Web-SAW, we program a user interface program, a simulation logic program, and an animation program with JAVA while utilizing the class library functions and embodiment environment of existing web-based simulation languages. Web-SAW simulates the automated warehouse system with the user input about system operation, displays the animation on a static background representing the system, and generates the various textual outputs after simulation.

Now distribution centers include an ASRS (Automated Storage and Retrieving System) and automated transfer systems such as conveyors and AGV (Automated Guided Vehicle). These automated distribution centers have lots of parameters to be considered fur operating performance. The general basic parameters in the distribution centers are specifications of storage equipment, system operating rules, configuration of storage area and unit load features. In this paper, an approach using simulation and metamodeling with response Surface method to optimize the design parameters of an automated distribution center model is presented. The simulation based metamodel will constitute an efficient approximation of the system function, and the approximate function will be used to design rapid optimal parameters of the distribution center model. This paper provides a comprehensive framework for economical material flow system design using the simulation and metamodeling.

The purpose of this paper is to analyze transport ability of AGV(Automated Guided Vehicle) and SHC(SHuttle Carrier). The main difference between two types of transport vehicles is that AGV depends on container crane or transfer crane to do loading/unloading container, but SHC is very independent to it. Therefore, the transport ability of SHC is expected to be higher than AGV. So, in this paper, we established simulation model to evaluate two types of transport vehicles and analyzed the results. Simulation model was established to automated container terminal with perpendicular yard layout, and applied closed loop operation of transport vehicle between apron and stacking yard. In the result, SHC showed very superior than AGV aspect of container crane productivity and vehicle fleets.
