Abstract

AGV is very useful equipment to transfer containers in automated container terminal. AGV must have Obstacle Detection System (ODS) for port automation. ODS needs the function to classify some specified object from background in acquired data. And it must be able to track classified moving objects. Finally, ODS could determine its next action for safe driving whether it should do emergency stop or speed down, or it should change its deriving lane. For these functions, ODS can have many different kinds of algorithm. In this paper, we present one of AGV to be used in automated container terminal.
