In this paper, we develop anti-sway control in proposed techniques for an ATC system. The developed algorithm is to build the optimal path of container motion and to calculate an anti-collision path for collision avoidance in its movement to the finial coordinate. Moreover, in order to show the effectiveness in this research, we compared NNP PID controller to be tuning parameters of controller using NN with 2-DOF PID controller. The experimental results jar an ATC simulator show that the proposed control scheme guarantees performances, trolley position, sway angle, and settling time in NNP PID controller than other controller. As a result, the application of NNP PID controller is analyzed to have robustness about disturbance which is wind of fixed pattern in the yard.

This paper investigates the relationship between the fleet-angle of the hoisting rope and the swaying and pitching angles of a cargo in container cranes. It is found that for a given disturbance, when the fleet-angle is large, the sway Angle becomes smaller, but the pitching angle becomes larger. Therefore, for a quick suppression of a sway motion, it is desirable to have a large fleet-angle. The compatibility and bifurcation conditions, regarding instability, are characterized.

In this paper, the disturbance applied to launcher hatch by ship motions is introduced to identify the vertical ship motion disturbance. Basically, ship motions are comprised of 6 degrees of freedom: roll, pitch, yaw, heave, surge and sway. In the case of the shipboard launcher hatch the coupled pitch, heave and roll are significant motions to be transformed to a vertical direction motion. The maximum acceleration values are obtained from the vertical motion model and the ship motion data in accordance with ship type and hatch location on the ship. We verify that the maximum pitch motion mainly influences the launcher hatch and also present the quantity of the maximum load disturbance by the ship's motion acceleration.

In this paper, an ATC(Automated Transfer Crane) control system is required rapid transportation to get highest productivity with low cost. Therefore, the container paths should be built in terms of the least time and least sway when container is transferred from the initial coordinate to the finial coordinate. So we applied the best-first search method for forming the container path, and calculated the anti-collision path for avoiding collision in its movement to the finial coordinate. And we constructed the neural network two degree of freedom PID (TDOFPID) controller to control the precise navigation. For simulation, we constructed the container profiles so that we analyzed the state of formed path and the performance of TDOFPID controller to the formatted path. Then we compared the performance of ES-tuned PID controller with our proposed controller in terms of trolley position, anti-sway, path change, disturbance, and the load of containers. The computer simulation results show that the proposed controller has better the other on the various conditions.

The sway motion control problem of a container hanging on the trolly is considered in the paper. In the container crane control problem, suppressing the residual swing motion of the container at the end of acceleration, deceleration or the case of that the unexpected disturbance input exists is main issue. For this problem, in general, many trolley motion control strategies are introduced and applied. In this paper, we introduce and synthesize a swing motion control system in which a small auxiliary mass is installed on the spreader made by ourselves. In this control system, the actuator reacting against the auxiliary mass applies inertial control forces to the container to reduce the swing motion in the desired manner. Especially, we apply the $H_{\infty}$ based gain-scheduling control technique the anti-sway control system design problem of the controlled plant. In this control system, the controller dynamics are adjusted in real-time according to time-varying plant parameters. And the simulation result shows that the proposed control strategy is shown to be useful to the case of time-varying system and, robust to disturbances like winds and initial sway motion.

The gain-scheduling control technique is vary useful in the control problem incorporating time varying parameters which can be measured in real time. Based on these facts, in this paper the sway control problem of the pendulum motion of a container hanging on the trolly, which transports containers from a container ship to trucks, is considered. In the container crane control problem, suppressing the residual swing motion of the container at the end of acceleration, deceleration or the case of that the unexpected disturbance input exists is main issue. For this problem, in general, the trolley motion control strategy is introduced and applied. But, in this paper, we introduce and synthesize a new type of swing motion control system. In this control system, a small auxiliary mass is installed on the spreader. And the actuator reacts against the auxiliary mass, applying inertial control forces to the container to reduce the swing motion in the desired manner. In this paper, we assume that an plant parameter is varying and apply the gain-scheduling control technique design the anti-swing motion control system for the controlled plant. In this control system, the controller dynamics are adjusted in real-time according to time-varying plant parameters. And the simulation result shows that the proposed control strategy is shown to be useful to the case of time-varying system and, robust to disturbances like winds and initial sway motion.

This paper proposes a sum of squares (SOS) method for anti-swing control of overhead crane system using HOSM (High-Order Sliding-Mode) observer. By representing the dynamic equations of overhead crane as the polynomial dynamic equations via Taylor series expansion, the control input is obtained from the converted polynomial dynamic equations by numerical tool SOSTOOL. Since the actual crane systems include disturbance such as wind and friction, we propose a method to compensate for the disturbance by estimating the disturbance using HOSM observer. Numerical simulations show the effectiveness and the applicability of the proposed method.
