컨테이너 터미널에서 적하 작업을 수행할 때에는 선박의 안정성을 위하여 무거운 컨테이너들을 선박의 바닥쪽에 우선하여 배치한다. 그러므로 장치장(yard)에서 동일한 선박 베이(bay)에 선적할 컨테이너들을 무게가 무거운 순서로 효율적으로 반출할 수 있다면, 적하 계획의 수립과 수행일 수월해진다. 만일 장치장에서 적하를 위하여 지금 반출하여야 하는 컨테이너의 상단에 다른 컨테이너들이 장치되어 있다면, 부득이하게 위에 놓여 있는 컨테이너들을 임시로 옮겨야 하는데, 이러한 부가 작업을 재취급(rehandling)이라 한다. 채취급이 빈번히 발생하게 되면 적하 작업의 흐름은 차질을 빚게 되므로 재취급의 최소화는 작업 효율 측면에서 매우 중요하다. 본 논문에서는 컨테이너가 장치장에 반입되는 시점에 해당 컨테이너의 무게를 알 수 있다는 가정하에, 적하 작업을 위한 반출시 재취급이 적게 발생하도록 신규 반입된 컨테이너의 장치 위치를 결정하는 휴리스틱을 제안한다. 제안하는 휴리스틱은 각 스택(stack)별로 장치되어 있는 컨테이너들 중에서 자장 먼저 반출될 가장 무거운 컨테이너의 무게를 해당 스택의 대표 무게로 설정하고, 이를 신규 반입 컨테이너의 무게와 비교하여 장치 위치를 결정한다. 장치장 베이 하나로 시뮬레이션한 실험 결과 4단 6열 및 6단 9열의 장치장 베이 구조에서 임의의 위치에 신규 반입 컨테이너를 장치하는 방식에 비해 재취급 횟수를 1/5이하로 줄일 수 있음을 확인하였다

The purpose of this paper is to evaluate the quay crane productivity in automated container terminal with perpendicular yard layout. In particular, four quay crane (single trolley/dual trolley/double trolley/supertainer) are considered to evaluate the productivity on the terminal performance. Each quay crane load or unload containers by a different process. For each quay crane, two productivities are considered and compared: mechanical productivity, net productivity. As the net productivity of quay crane is significant, in this paper, an application of simulation model to simulate automated container terminal is developed and a wide variety of computational experiments were conducted.

컨테이너 터미널 장비들은 많은 부품들이 매우 복잡하게 구성되어 있으며, 고장 발생 시에 막대한 비용이 발생하게 된다. 본 연구에서는 컨테이너 터미널 장비의 신뢰도, 가용도, 정비도 향상을 위한 관리 시스템을 개발한다. 개발 시스템은 장비 구성 모듈, 장비 운영 관리 모듈, 정비 관리 모듈, 예비품 관리 모듈, 분석 모듈로 구성되어 있다. 장비의 신뢰도, 가용도, 정비도 향상을 위한 기술로 FMEA, 고장현황 분석, 수명 모수 추정법을 사용한다. 또한 산출된 수명 모수와 객체지향 시뮬레이션 모형으로 최적 예방 정비 주기를 결정하고 이를 이용하여 정비인원과 하루 최대 정비 가능 장비대수를 고려한 연간 최적 예방정비 일정을 결정한다.

To achieve higher customer service, the operational efficiency of container terminal is important. So, to improve loading/unloading speed and reduce the time spending of berth, efficient ship planning is performed in advance. But, the condition of container terminal can be changed frequently and the pre-planning is not enough to operate container terminal sufficiently, so that we need real-time planning. This paper aims to define the problem of job reallocation of quay crane to minimize total operation time, and find the solution.

An important operational goal of a container terminal is to maximize the efficiency of the operation of quay cranes (QCs) that load and/or unload containers onto and from vessels. While the maximization of the efficiency of the QC operation requires minimizing the delay of yard tractors (YT) that transport containers between the storage yard and QCs, the delay is often inevitable because of traffic congestion. In this paper, we propose a method for learning a model that predicts traffic speed in a terminal using only YT operation data, even though the YT traffic is mixed with that of external trucks. Without any information on external truck traffic, we could still make a reasonable traffic forecast because the YT operation data contains information on the YT routes in the near future. The results of simulation experiments showed that the model learned by the proposed method could predict traffic speed with significant accuracy.

One of the most important operational goals in container terminals is to maximize the quay side productivity by minimizing the turnaround times of the vessels, for which the operations of the quay cranes (QC) to load/unload containers onto/from the vessels should be conducted efficiently without delays. This paper suggests using a policy-based dispatching method for YTs (Yard Tractor) that deliver containers between QCs and the storage yard. The goal of using such a dispatching policy is to maximize the efficiency of the YT operation and accordingly to minimize the QC delays because of late arrivals of the YTs. In particular, in this paper, we modified the previously proposed policy for its application to real container terminal and verified the effect through simulation experiments using real terminal data.

As the excessive competition between container terminals has been deepening, not only productivity, but also cost economic of the terminals has been raised. With regard to this, the competitiveness of the terminals is limited because of inefficiency operation of transfer crane(T/C) which needs large amount of energy consumption. Therefore, it is possible that the improvement in the T/C operation leads to saving cost for resources and energy as well as increasing the productivity of the terminals. This study provides 'the K-Means Clustering based Optimized Decision Model for Transfer Crane Operation', referring to 'RFID & RTLS based Port Logistics Initiative' of Ministry of Land, Transportation and Maritime Affairs and estimates the efficiency through simulating.

In order to cope with the changes of container terminal situation in these days, many simulation studies for container terminal have been accomplished. But previous simulation studies using simulation language have limitations in model representation and difficulties in modeling of large scaled container terminal system. To make these problems better, this paper addresses an object-oriented simulation of container terminal system using a DEVS formalism. The DEVS(Discrete Event System Specification) formalism, developed by Zeigler, supports specification of discrete event system in a hierarchical and modular manner. The formalism provides a mathematical basis for studying discrete event systems with better understood and sounder semantics. In a step of system modeling, a DEVS formalism aims at the exact system modeling that has a basis of semantics and utilizing the object-oriented manner can flexibly cope with the changes of system environment. In this study a model is developed and verified through the simulation of some alternatives.
