During the operation of crane system in the container yard, it is necessary to control the crane trolley position so that the swing of the hanging container is minimized. Recently an automatic control system with high speed and rapid transportation is required. Therefore, we designed a controller to control the crane system with disturbances and weight change. In this paper, we present the neural network two degree of freedom PID controller to control the swing motion and trolley position. Then we executed the computer simulation to verify the performance of the proposed controller and compared the performance of the neural network PID controller with our proposed controller in terms of the rope swing and the precision of position control. Computer simulation results show that the proposed controller has better performances than neural network PID with disturbances.

The amount of container freight continuously has been increased. and the low efficiency of container crane causes jamming frequently in transportation and cargo handling at port. The conventional control techniques based on a mathematical model are not well suited for dealing with ill-defined and uncertain systems. Recently. Fuzzy control has been successfully applied to a wide variety of practical problems as robots. automatic train operation system. etc. In this paper. a fuzzy controller for container crane is proposed to accomplish a 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. to exhibit the tracking performance and robustness of the proposed controller. computer simulations were carried out with various references, parameter variations and disturbances.

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 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.

Productivity of container cranes and gantry cranes is influenced by the performance of crane hardware and cycle time. Cycle time in container handling is influenced by the path of containers and relative positioning of containers. So we have to minimize the sway of containers and spreaders to minimize relative positioning time. And sway minimization is influenced by the skill of workers in manual gantry cranes. In this paper, we will develop anti-sway system using mechanical and electrical method. Proposed hybrid system uses the basic structure of general manual gantry crane. So, it is very useful and effective. Electrical methods are main methods and mechanical methods are auxiliary methods.

본 논문에서는 무인 크레인 시스템 구축을 위하여 산업현장에서 가장 일반적으로 사용되어지는 slab와 coil의 형상 판별 및 3차원 위치 좌표를 산업현장의 환경에 구애받지 않고 정확하게 추출할 수 있는 통합 비전 시스템을 개발하였다. 기존의 비전 시스템은 산업현장의 환경에 영향을 받기 때문에 정확한 물체의 형상 팔별 및 위치 데이터를 추출 할 수 없는 경우가 빈번히 발생하였다. 이러한 단점들을 극복하기 위하여 본 논문에서는 레이저 스캐너와 CCD 카메라를 정합하여 slab와 coil의 형상을 판별하고 3차원 위치좌표를 추출하는 통합 비전 시스템을 제안한다. 본 논문에서 제안한 통합 비전 시스템은 무인 크레인 시스템 구축에 상당한 도움이 될 것으로 기대 된다.

타워크레인은 최근 증가되고 있는 고층 건축물의 시공에 핵심적인 장비임에도 불구하고, 지난 수십년간 이를 개선하기 위한 연구가 매우 부족하였다. 본 연구는 기존의 T형 타워크레인에 머신비전, RFID 및 GPS 기술 등을 접목한 지능형 타워크레인 개발 Framework을 제시하고, 제시된 Framework의 하위 모듈인 머신비젼 모듈의 프로토타입을 개발하였다. 머신비전 모듈은 CCTV와 LCD 모니터를 이용하여 현장 및 자재관련 멀티미디어 정보를 크레인 운전원과 현장 자업자가 실시간으로 공유학 수 있으므로 작업 생산성과 안전성을 의게 향상시킬 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

The development of automated container terminal has been a hot issue for recent years. It's very natural because it's very important how many containers, how soon, and how precisely a container terminal can treat. A crane treats a very heavy container, maybe, no less than 20∼40 tons, thus most cranes use ropes to take up and land containers. But rope causes the sway of a container and this phenomenon is not avoided. On the ground of this, in most case how much skillful a driver is may affect the productivity of a yard or quay crane. Thus many researches have been concentrated on the development of the control algorithm for a crane which may be useful and robust enough to drive a crane without any human driver. Authors of this paper also are interested in this kind of research but we have been much more interested for years in the development of a mechanical structure which may cause much less sway than the existing cranes do. In this paper, we may introduce the basic structure of the developed anti-sway system.

컨테이너를 통한 무역이 나날이 늘어감에 따라 컨테이너터미널에서는 생산성을 향상시키기 위한 많은 노력을 하고 있다. 생산성을 향상시키기 위한 방법으로는 효율적인 운영전략, 또는 생산성이 낮은 장비 도입을 통한 방법이 있을 수 있다. 장비 도입의 측면에서 최근 국내 터미널에서 최근 많이 도입하고 있는 탠덤 크레인은 20'컨테이너를 동시에 4개, 40'컨테이너를 동시에 2개를 작업할 수 있는 안벽하역장비로 기존 크레인에 비하여 생산성을 향상시킬 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 탠덤 크레인의 효율성을 높일 수 있는 선적 계획을 위한 계량적 모형과 해법을 제시하고자 한다.

In this paper the sway-control problem of a container crane is investigated in the perspective of controlling an underactuated mechanical system. For fast loading/unloading of containers from the ship, quick suppression of the remaining swing motion of the container at the end of each trolley stroke is crucial. Known nonlinearities are fully incorporated by feedback linearization. Robustness is enhanced by variable structure control. Compared with the linear LQ control, much better performance can be obtained.

This paper describes the method to control the multimotor drive system with network. The LonWorks network which is a leading industrial control network is applied to the yard crane position control system driven by three motors. The host computer is able to control and monitor three motor drive systems in a yard crane through network. The performance of proposed method is verified on experiments with simulator of yard crane.
