In this study, we consider the transportation problem in port container terminals. It aims to determine positions in yards to place the containers at the adequate times. The containers on ship must be unloaded one by one from top to bottom, and placed in the main yard in order to reduce additional cost required for unnecessary unloading when getting out by customer with given timetable. The cost for transportation at container terminals could be reduced by a new approach in scheduling: move the containers from ship and stack them onto main yard that minimizes cost of yard crane operation when unloading for customer.

Determining storage locations of containers is an important issue for efficient operation of container terminals. This study assumes a storage yard with a horizontal layout in which blocks are laid out in parallel to the quay and trucks enter at the side of a block to deliver (receive) a container to (from) the yard crane. Various storage rules for determining storage locations of containers are introduced. Simulation studies are conducted for evaluating various rules. The following guidelines are derived from the result of our simulation study: when designing a block, consider a block configuration in which the longest gantry and the longest trolley travel times of rail-mounted gantry cranes (RMGCs) are similar; do not restrict the types of containers that can be stored in a storage area; if different roles are to be assigned to different storage areas, one possible way is to divide a bay into two areas so that some rows in the bay are allocated to inbound containers while the other rows in the same bay are allocated to outbound containers; reserve the space in bay unit for a high productivity of RMGCs but reserve the space in stack unit when the storage space is not enough; when the storage space is not sufficient, allocate storage location in a way of starting from the end and ending at the middle of a block; for reducing the travel distance of internal trucks, provide a higher priority to a block nearer to the berthing position of the corresponding vessel.

Number of researches on efficient terminal operation system applying RFID(Radio Frequency Identification) are on progress. However, RFID has limitations on tracking and providing accurate positions of containers. In this paper, to enhance the performance of the integrated terminal operation system, an efficient loading management of yard is proposed by applying RFID-based RTLS(Real Time Locating System) that provides real-time accurate positions of containers. We found that a group-based sequence system is more efficient than the existing individual sequence number system in the container yard. In the group-based sequence system, the containers in the same group should have similar characteristics such as port of destination(POD), size, weight, etc. In order to run this system, we have proposed the parameters to the unspecified N bytes of RFID tag which are specified in ISO 18000-7. And, this paper proposed a development of integrated operation system of container terminal using RFID for reducing the ship turnaround time in ubiquitous port environment.

By increasing trades between countries, importance of harbors is becoming serious, including our country. When it comes to Container Crane Operation, the most important matter is how many containers are loaded in a truck or a ship by given time. This can be a crucial matter of harbors in taking care of materials. The present harbors' crane uses a wire-rope conveyance materials are transported in the air and have high free-angle of location. The sway can cause the delay of time, wrong position of Trolley and the damage of materials. In this study, we obtain the optimal PID parameters with GA(Genetic Algorithm) and apply those parameters to the PID Controller. In the result of the experimentation, we can see how effectively the PID controller, applied with the optimal parameters obtained by GA, can control the sway angle.

In this paper, we deal with on observer design for detecting the human faults in container crane operation. First we propose an observer for detecting the human faults and show the existing condition for the observer. In this case, we assume that the human faults can be considered ad a careless mistake during the crane operation. In simulation, we used the previous results for human work model and design the observer for the human work model. As a simulation results with human faults, the proposed observer can detected the human faults perfectly, thus the efficiency of proposed observer is shown.

This study was performed to analyze the operation system of transfer crane to improve the reality of yard operation rules in container terminal and present the applicable method of operation rules to apply the operation priority. And we derived the procedure to estimate the maximum number of waiting truck based on the waiting of truck and the occupancy of driving lane in yard, and analyzed the constraint state of space. To solve the space constraint, we provided a multi-job principle to define the space resource and described the solution and sequence diagram for the principle.

컨테이너 터미널에서의 생산성은 본선작업의 효율성과 밀접한 관련이 있다. 효율적인 본선작업을 위한 첫 번째 단계는 선석에서 컨테이너를 취급하는 장비인 안벽크레인(Quay Crane : QC)에 대하여 효율적인 작업일정계획을 수립하는 것이다. 일반적으로 안벽크레인의 작업일정계획은 선박내의 장치계획에 관한 정보와 장치장의 장치현황정보등 많은 정보를 활용해야 하며, 선박의 안정성과 크레인의 작업용이성 등 다양한 제약사항을 고려하여야 한다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 인공지능기법 중 최적에 가까운 해를 찾아주는 탐색기법인 GRASP(Greedy Randomized Adaptive Search Procedure)를 적용하여 실제 현장에서 적용 가능한 안벽크레인 작업일정계획기법을 제안하였다. 또한, 컨테이너 터미널의 실제 자료를 수집하여 제안된 메타휴리스틱 알고리즘의 성능을 분석하였다.

The contributing proportion of the increase of port productivity is more increasing concerning not only the port industry, but also all the informations of container crane which is the representative equipment by the rapid increase of the volume of freight of port. The basic of rapid service is the improvement of the productivity, the information of operation as to the productivity of crane for the quick handling within yard and especially the informations of breakdown and to handle breakdown as soon as possible has a great effect on the increase of productivity.

Over the last 10 years, significant changes have taken place in the world of container shipping. The size and the speed of the quay-side crane have been increased considerably. As a result, the stiffness of a crane is decreased and the sway oscillation of cargo may become violent. The purpose of this paper is to determine the design force caused by the sway oscillation of the cargo, lifted by four ropes, with an initial fleet angle, and the governing equations of the lifting system for an anti-sway control system design.
