This paper presents an estimation method of container handling capacity and selection of resource allocation strategies of container terminals using the computer simulation models. Simulation models are developed to model container terminal consisting of 4 berths considering the berth allocation strategies, crane allocation strategies and the total number of container cranes using Arena simulation package. The proposed models do not consider the yard operations and gate operations. All the input parameters for the models are estimated on the basis of the existing container terminal operation data and the planning data for the automated container terminal planned by Korean government. Four berth allocation strategies and three crane allocation strategies are considered. The total number of container cranes considered ranges from 12 to 15. Non-terminating simulation techniques are utilized for the performance comparison among alternatives. The performance measures such as average ship turnaround time, average ship waiting time, average ship service time, the number of containers handled per year, and the number of ships processed per year are used. The result shows that the berth allocation strategy minimizing the sum of the number of ships waiting, the number of busy container cranes and number of ships handled performs better than any other berth allocation strategies. In addition, the crane allocation strategy allocating up to 5 container cranes per berth performs better than any other crane allocation strategies. Finally there are no significant performance differences among the alternatives consisting of different total number of container cranes allocated.

The recent amount of container freight continuously has been increased, but the low efficiency of container crane causes jamming frequently in transportation and cargo handling at port. It is required that the working velocity and safety are improved by control of moving the trolley as quick as possible without large overshoot and any residual swing motion of container at the destination. In this paper, a LQ Fuzzy controller for a container crane is proposed to accomplish an optimal design of improved control system for minimizing the swing motion at destination. In this scheme a mathematical model for the system is obtained in state space form. Finally, the effectiveness of the proposed controller is verified through computer simulation.

Automated container terminals have been being developed over the world for recent years and many countries are interested in it because the amount of containers exported or imported is rapidly increasing. The conventional container terminals were not designed to control this kind of heavily many containers. They would face many structural problems soon or later, although they have managed to do well so far. One of the most important things in developing automated container terminal is to develop the equipment able to handle many containers efficiently. Those are maybe automated transfer cranes, automatic guided vehicles, and automated quay-side cranes. The word 'automated' means the equipment is operated without drivers and those equipments are able to work without any interruption in working schedule. Through the researches on the conventional transfer cranes, we decided that the structure of the conventional transfer cranes is not efficient in automated container terminal and it's not possible to handle so many containers in limited time. Therefore we have been studying on the proper structure of the automated container crane for past several years and a new type of transfer crane has been developed. Design concept and control method of a new type of transfer crane had been presented in the previous paper: Part Ⅰ. Experimental features will be presented with a model transfer crane in this paper: Part Ⅱ.

컨테이너 크레인은 강풍으로부터 보호를 받기 위한 차폐물이 없는 곳에 존재하기 때문에 이상 기후 조건에 취약성이 있는 구조물이다. 본 연구에서는 붐 각도의 변화에 따라 풍동실험과 전산유동 해석을 사용하여 컨테이너 크레인의 구조물에 대한 풍하중의 영향을 수행하였다. 그리고 75m/s의 풍속을 컨테이너 크레인에 적용하였다고 가정하였을 때 컨테이너 크레인의 풍력 내구성 설계에 사용되는 데이터를 컨테이너 크레인 설계자에게 제공하고자 한다. 본 연구에서는 건축물 하중기준의 풍하중 설계기준에 따라 풍하중을 적용하였으며 풍향에 따른 영향을 분석하기 위해서 유동장을 $10^{\circ}$ 간격으로 분할하였다. 이를 바탕으로 풍동실험과 전산 유동해석을 수행하였으며 얻어진 결과들을 비교 연구함으로써 컨테이너 크레인의 구조설계에 필요한 풍하중을 분석하였다.

In container crane system, the variation of cargo weight have effect on the travelling and sway control of load. For precise travelling and/or anti-sway control of crane system, the cargo weight should be measured and considered with control algorithm. But, and added attachment for measuring the cargo weight put restraint upon the control freedom for travelling and anti-sway. In this paper, we propose an estimation method for cargo weight in container crane system by using observation technique. First of all, we model the container crane system as a bilinear system and transform this model into linear system with external disturbance model. Second, we propose a generalized type - disturbance estimation observer and set a disturbance model, where, the cargo weight is related with the sway of load, and the sway is represented as a periodic external disturbance. Lastly, by using simulation we verify that the proposed algorithm of disturbance estimation observer is effective to estimate the cargo weight, and it will be used with anti-sway control algorithm.

Currently many studies on the unmanned gantry crane for the automated container terminal are accomplished. This is needed for the development of large scale, automation, high speed, unmanned system and information system in port facility. In order to do efficient container handling job in port yard, the automated handling system is well adapted to the job environments and all-season weather, In order to realize the automatic and unmanned system for container handling job, the required functions and main structure system are studied. The major problems of operation of the conventional gantry crane are that the vibration of gantry structure body is occurred by operation and that high-speed and precision position-velocity control and the capability to dope to the external disturbances caused by the wind, rain, fog and job environments. In this paper, the fundamental study for establishment of the concept and the dynamic modelling of the major sub system of the unmanned gantry crane is presented. These studies are useful for design and manufacturing of the new concept model of the unmanned gantry crane for efficient operation of the automated container terminal.

국내 컨테이너터미널에서는 야드 트랙터의 위치를 실시간으로 인식하기 위해 RFID시스템을 사용하고 있다. 그러나 RFID를 이용한 위치인식은 트랜스퍼 크레인을 이용하는 야드 작업에는 문제가 없으나, 컨테이너 크레인을 이용하는 본선 작업에는 문제가 있다. 즉, 컨테이너 크레인에서 크레인 밑의 4개 차선에서 움직이는 야드 트랙터들을 구분하여 정확히 인식하기가 불가능하기 때문이다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 트랜스퍼 크레인의 야드 작업은 물론이고 컨테이너 크레인의 본선 작업에서도 동일한 방식으로 정확히 야드 트랙터를 인식할 수 있는 적외선 통신시스템을 개발하였다. 본 연구의 결과 인식 횟수가 일정하게 측정되었으며, 25m의 거리에서도 인식범위가 5.7m로 측정 가능하였다. 즉, 컨테이너 크레인 밑을 이동하는 여러 대의 야드 트랙터들을 구분하여 인식할 수 있는 인식 범위를 가지게 되었다.
