In this paper, we propose a simple control scheme, based on second order sliding modes, which guarantees a fast and precise container transfer and the swing suppression during the container movement, despite of model uncertainties and unmodeled dynamic actuators. In the actual case, the swing suppression is obtained by constraining the system motion on a suitable surface which involves both the desired path and the swing angle. Strictly speaking, the trolley velocity is modified on-line, on the actual swing angle, to obtain the suppression of the oscillations not only at the end of the transport but during transfer as well. Such controller has been tested on a laboratory-size model of the 3Dcrane, and some experimental results are reported.

Nuclide release through penetrations in radioactive waste container is analyzed. Penetrations may result from corrosion or cracking and may be through the container material or through deposits of corrosion products. The analysis deals with the resultant nuclide release, but not with the way these penetrations occur. Numerical illustrations show that mass transport from multiple holes can be significant and may approach the mass transfer rate calculated from bare waste forms. Although partially-failed containers may present an important long-term barrier to release of radionuclides, numerous small holes on a container surface have the potential of bypassing the effectiveness of these barriers.

A satellite shipping container must afford the satellite a relatively benign thermal, vibration, and particle environment that is oblivious to the extreme temperatures, sand, dust, vibrations, and shock that can accompany the transportation. Korea Aerospace Research Institute has developed a new shipping container system that will be used to transport KOMPSAT-2(Korea Multi-Purpose SATellite) from Tae-jon to launch site. (omitted)

A monitoring system for container is the positioning and managing system, which has been rapidly updated recently, for logistics in real-time. GPS is a global positioning system which is capable of positioning container promptly with a reasonable amount of accuracy. Facility managers of ports or airports should load/unload/keep freight effectively. Transport companies or freight owners should allocate moving container properly and be able to prevent or cope with the loss or delay of freight. In this study, it is monitored and tested the movement of the containers fitted with GPS, and its accuracy and efficiency is analyzed.

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.

During the operation of crane system in container yard, the objective is to transport the load to a goal position as quick as possible without rope oscillation. The container crane is generally operated by an expert operator, but recently an automatic control system with high speed and rapid transportation is required. Therefore, we developed an optimal controller which has to control the crane system with disturbances. In this paper, we present a design of optima 2-DOF PID controller for the control of gantry crane which has to control swing motion and trolley position. We used evolution strategy(ES) to tune the parameters of 2-DOF PID controller. It was compared with general PID controller. The computer simulations show that the proposed method has better performances than the other method.

Container terminal automation might offer many potential benefits, such as increased productivity, reduced cost, and improved safety. Autonomous trucks can lead to more efficient container transport. A robust lane detection method is proposed using score-based generative modeling through stochastic differential equations for image-to-image translation. Image processing techniques are combined with Density-Based Spatial Clustering of Applications with Noise (DBSCAN) and Genetic Algorithm (GA) to ensure lane positioning robustness. The proposed method is validated by a dataset collected from the port terminals under different environmental conditions and tested the robustness of the lane detection method with stochastic noise.

Government tries to revise the article 25 in Korea Maritime Transport Act which describes subject of coastal carriage for exported-imported container cargoes. The subject of coastal carriage will be replaced coastal carrier by ocean liner carrier according to the revised article 25. By adopting the revised article, coastal shipping industry will be deteriorated in terms of returns on investment, sales and etc. Even though the revision is inevitable to harmonize the flow of exported-imported container cargo movement, coastal shipping industry should be developed and restructured to get competitive power and to set up an efficient international logistics system. To enhance competitive power of coastal shipping companies successfully, government must realize the importance of coastal shipping, and aid the industry through various methods such as arrangement of law and regulation, indirected financial assistance, decrease of tax rate, etc.

Fresh agricultural product in Korea are currently being exported overseas through expensive air transportation, supported by the governments's farm export subsidies. However all members of the World Trade Organization(WTO) must halt government subsidies by 2023. Accordingly, it is necessary to use marine transport capable of carrying freight at low cost. Reefer containers are used for marine transportation of fresh produce but it have a problem due to the temperature difference inside the reefer container which causes of fresh cargo and drop in freshness during sea transportation. In order to solve the problem, we developed a temperature control algorithm for reefer container that maintain a constant temperature and minimizes the deviation inside reefer container. The result showed that the maintained a constant temperature within a maximum of $0.5^{\circ}C$ based on the set-point of $4.0^{\circ}C$ inside reefer container.

The modal spilt for road has been increased, but, for railroad it has been decreased from 17.2%(1990) to 6.3%(2006). It is important to study on improving competition for railroad transportation so that freight transport industry for railroad which is getting to decrease in Korea will be increased. The objective of this study is to analyze the competitiveness of railroad transport compared with road by providing a high-speed railway. The indicators representing the competitiveness of railroad transport are determined. The main influenced factors for mode choice include transport cost, transport time, level of service. Precisely, three commodities type, container, cement, steel, are analyzed.
