Construction of automated terminal it urgently demanded to gain the foundation of hub-port in north east Asia. Therefore we suggest an adequate operating system layout of automated terminal in Korea. In this paper the aim of automated terminal operating system is satisfied. four basic models are divided according to moving course of export and import cargo of each automated equipments, several input data are changed and analyzed dynamically by Trial and Error method, and then an optimized operating system model is selected, and designed for yard operating system layout on the basis of the selected model. Particularly, the productivity of automated port is up to the kind of automated equipments. However, because expense and present work process must be considered actually. In order to prevent confusion of the work, the method to optimize the present work and substitute prevent equipments and automated equipments was designed. It is a premise that ail the yard equipments described in this paper must be automatic except quay crane.

This paper analyses the relative efficiency of 13 container terminals based on the data for the period 2003-8 to offer a fresh perspective. There has been abundant empirical research undertaken on the technical efficiency of Busan and Gwangyang port. Most studies have focused on the use of parametric and non-parametric techniques to analyse overall technical efficiency. Here, the framework assumes that terminals use two input to produce one output; the former includes container yard and container crane and the latter container volume. Jarque-Bera indicates that three variables are not normally distributed and the positive skewness shows that all the variables have long right tails. This means there are many small-scaled container terminals. This paper also employs heteroscedastic Tobit model to show the effect of the explanatory variables on the container terminal efficiencies. The Tobit model shows that both container yard and container cranes have positive effect on the container terminal efficiency, but container yard has a higher impact on the efficiency than the container crane.

This paper describes the design, development, and performance testing of an autonomous ground vehicle that was developed to participate in the DARPA Grand Challenge that was held in March 2004. The authors of this paper are members of Team CIMAR which was one of twenty five teams selected by DARPA to participate in a competition to develop an autonomous vehicle that can navigate from near Los Angeles to near Las Vegas at speeds averaging twenty miles per hour. Most of the event was held on open terrain and trails in a rocky desert environment. This paper describes the overall system design and the performance of the system at the event.

The traditional measures of a container port (or terminal) efficiency such as crane productivity, cargo throughput, etc. were generally presenting the partial efficiency since they evaluated only each individual factor and based on cross-sectional data. To overcome this problem, and in an effort to help port authorities develop a winning strategy in the increasingly competitive container transportation market, this Paper develops a meaningful set of benchmarks that will set the standard for best practices. In particular, this paper proposed a combined method to merge the DEA and simulation technique over time. To illustrate the usefulness of the proposed combined DEA/simulation model, this paper used the panel data of the four Gwangyang container terminals and seven Busan container terminals in Korea over the four-year period of 1999 through 2002.

The purpose of this paper is to analyze the competitiveness between Busan New Port and Shanghai's New Yangshan Port, on an island 20 miles off the Chinese mainland coast. For this aim, the paper examines backgrounds of Yangshan Port construction and its related projects, namely, Donghai Bridge and Luchao Logistics Park including operation strategies of Yangshan New Deepwater Port. The main results of this paper are as follows: Busan New Port has competitive advantage over Yangshan Port in terms of ideal location, especially in Asia-North America route, and connection between terminal and hinterland logistics park. Because Busan New Port is operated by fully on-dock system. Nevertheless, Yangshan Port has more strength in its centrality, port tariff and port productivity, which are represented by crane productivity, quay productivity and area productivity. Therefore, Korean ports are recommended by transformation from cargo attraction-type to cargo generation-type port through early activation of port logistics center along with Free Economic Zone.

The weight of a ship depends on the size of the ship. Normal lightweight of a ship is over 10,000 tons. So it is inevitable to divide a ship into about more than hundreds of lumps. Each of lumps is called as a block in shipbuilding. The sizes of blocks are decided by a yard's facilities. Among them lifting cranes are most decisive facilities. By block's size the productivity of a yard is decided very much. So it is very important to have a proper block division during shipbuilding. This paper refers to the recent trend of block division among yards. This paper would give an idea how to decide boundaries of blocks. Block division also decides both quality of a ship and work volume of it. These days the block erection method is changed dramatically due to use sea barge mounted crane for erection of a grand ring block. This paper explains the new trend of block division in shipbuilding.

This paper addresses design procedure and testing results of a closed-loop motion control of the cranes. When the object is stopped at the desired position, swinging occurs, and such swinging deteriorates the safety and efficiency of the operation of the crane. Therefore, in this paper, the cascade anti-swing and trolley position feedback controller are designed. Anti-swing controller rapidly eliminates swinging of object and position feedback controller reduces the trolley position error. The performance of this controller is investigated through the computer simulation and experiment. From the results of a series of computer simulations and experiments it can be concluded that proposed controller effectively reduces swinging of the object and trolley position error, which shows this controller can be used as an effective tool for the precise control of overhead cranes.

This paper deals with tipping over of hydraulic excavator's crane work. If excavator lift too heavy weight, excavator tipped up. This is 38% of whole excavator accidents. In this paper, tipping over load which is maximum load of excavator can lift with displacement of excavator links, real load and tipping over rate are calculated with Zero Moment Point. We designed the tipping-over stability criterion algorithm considering the dynamic characteristics to which ZMP theory is applied and discussed the usefulness of the proposed algorithm compared with the moment equilibrium equation through the simulation and the actual test.

In this paper, we will present a container auto-landing system, the system use the stereo camera to measure the container depth information. And the container region can be detected by using its hough line feature. In the line feature detection algorithm, we will detect the parallel lines and perpendicular lines which compose the rectangle region. Among all the candidate regions, we can select the region with the same aspect-ratio to the container. The region will be the detected container region. After having the object on both left and right images, we can estimate the distance from camera to object and container dimension. Then all the detect dimension information and depth inform will be applied to reconstruct the virtual environment of crane which will be introduce in this paper. Through the simulation result, we can know that, the container detection rate achieve to 97% with simple background. And the estimation algorithm can get a more accuracy result with a far distance than the near distance.

In this paper, we design a wedge type rail clamp which can protect container crane from wind with constant clamping force regardless of the operating period. When we design wedge type rail clamp. it is important to determine the angle of wedge and analyze a contact condition of roller and wedge so that we might develop a rail clamp with variable capacity. Therefore, this paper suggest a process to decide wedge angles within feasible range which could be obtained using load analysis and FEA of wedge type rail clamp.
