Abstract

Today, information technologies have been applied to operations in container terminals, and it is possible to collect operational log data due to development of equipment and operations technology. Terminal operators are collecting event log data and try to figure out the way of resolving operations problems. Operators want to analyze event logs to determine the causes of the operation problems, but it can hardly be done manually. In this paper, we suggest a formal framework to evaluate performance measures using the collected log data of operations in container terminals. The proposed formal framework supports different container terminal layout, operational processes, and equipment. Our formal framework is composed of specification of terminal layout, log data, workflow, statistics, and report, based on the concept of container handling objects. For validation of our framework, we have implemented a terminal performance analysis system based on the proposed framework.

정보 기술이 적용된 장비 및 운영 시스템의 발달로 실시간 운영 데이터를 수집할 수 있게 되었으며, 현재 많은 터미널이 생산성 분석을 위해 상세한 작업이력을 추적하고 있다. 터미널 운영자는 수집된 작업이력 데이터를 통해 운영 중 발생하는 문제점들을 해결할 수 있는 방안을 도출하기 원하지만, 방대한 양의 자료를 수작업으로 분석하기는 쉽지 않다. 본 연구에서는 터미널 운영 중 획득된 작업이력을 바탕으로 터미널 운영자가 원하는 컨테이너 터미널의 성능지표를 손쉽게 도출하기 위한 방안을 제시한다. 이를 위해 다양한 컨테이너 터미널의 환경과 운영 방식, 운영 장비 등을 지원하기 위해 범용적으로 사용될 수 있는 형식 프레임워크(formal framework)를 고안하였다. 본 연구에서 제안하는 프레임워크는 컨테이너 처리 객체라는 개념을 기반으로 터미널 형태, 로그 데이터, 장비의 워크플로우, 통계 처리 및 보고서를 각각 정의하는 사용자 명세 부분으로 구성된다. 그리고 제안된 프레임워크를 기반으로 터미널 성능 분석 시스템을 개발하여 그 유효성을 검증하였다.
