If the research on double cycle is revitalized, crane productivity will be rapidly improved bemuse double cycle is an operational technique that can maximize equipments efficiency (Quay crane, RMG/RTG, Yard tractor). Unfortunately, it is very difficult for terminal operators to find out the starting point of double cycle bemuse the loading & unloading pattern and conditions are various. Therefore, terminal operators are apt to fail to find out the optimal starting point of double cycle to maximize its frequency. Experiencing the same mistakes in the process we made efforts to find out the optimal starting point, finally we found out the formula for it. And we verified its precision is perfect through a lot of testing. This paper on double cycling focused on making the formula to find out optimal starting point of double cycle to maximize its frequency. And it can be applied to various ships' stowages in common.

The problem of automated stacking cranes (ASC) dispatching in container terminals is addressed in this paper. We propose a heuristic-based ASC dispatching approach which adopts multi-criteria decision strategy. By aggregating different criteria the proposed strategy can consider multiple aspects of the dispatching situation and make robust decision in various situations. A multi-objective evolutionary algorithm (MOEA) is adopted to tune the weights associated to each criteria to minimize both the quay crane delay and external truck delay. The proposed approach is validated by comparison with different dispatching heuristics and simulation results obtained confirms its effectiveness.

Automated Container Terminals have been being developed over the world for many recent years and more and more countries get interested in it because the amount of containers exported or imported is steeply increasing. Existed Container Terminals were not designed to control this kind of heavily many containers. They would face many structural problems soon or later, although they have managed to do well until now. One of the most important things in developing Automated Container Terminal is to develop the equipment able to transfer the awfully many containers. Those are maybe Automated Transfer Cranes, Automated Guided Vehicles, and Automated Quay-Side Cranes. The word "Automated" means the equipment is operated without drivers and those equipments are able to work without taking any break. Through the researches on the existed transfer cranes, authors decided that the structure of existed transfer cranes is not proper to swift and fast transfer and it′s not impossible to handle so many containers in limited time. Therefore authors have been studying on the proper structure of the Automated Container Crane for past several years and a new type of transfer crane has been developed. Design concepts and control methods of a new crane will be introduced in this paper.

최근 컨테이너 터미널의 관리자들은 안벽의 생산성을 높이기 위해서 양 적하를 동시에 할 수 있는 더블 사이클이나 듀얼 사이클을 시도하고 있다. 하지만 실제 터미널의 데이터를 이용하여 듀얼 사이클을 발생시켰을 경우 YT(Yard Tractor) 배정 방법이나, QC(Quay Crane)의 작업의 속도, 야드의 수출컨테이너 위치 등에 따라 효율성이 저하될 수 있다. 특히 기존의 야드 운영방식으로는 듀얼 사이클이나 더블 사이클을 효율적으로 지원하기 어렵다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 실제 터미널에서 듀얼 사이클을 사용할 때 효율성을 더 높일 수 있는 터미널야드 운영방법을 제시한다. 모형은 시뮬레이션 분석 소프트웨어인 Arena를 이용하여 수립되었다.

본 연구에서는 컨테이너 터미널의 적정 안벽능력(Quay Capacity)을 분석하기 위한 시뮬레이션 모델을 구축하였다. 모델에서는 선박의 터미널 도착 특성, 선박별 양하량 및 적하량, 컨테이너 크레인(Container Crane, C/C) 생산성 및 투입대수 등을 입력변수로 입력하였으며, 시뮬레이션 결과로써는 안벽점유율, 선석 점유율, 대기시간 비율, 대기비율, Norm time 초과비율 등을 출력하였다. 이중 컨테이너 터미널의 평가지표로는 Norm time 초과비율, 대기비율 및 안벽점유율을 적용하였다. 컨테이너 터미널을 운영중인 터미널의 터미널 운영실적 자료를 이용하여 모델의 확인 및 검증을 실하였다. 모델은 Knowledge Base에 근거하여 수행되는 G2를 이용하여 구축하였다.

To improve the ship operation in automated container terminals, it is important to schedule different types of handling equipment to operate synchronously. For example, a vehicle with container receiving and lifting capabilities is used to transport containers from a storage yard to a vessel and vice versa, while a triple quay crane (QC) can handle up to three 40-ft containers simultaneously. This paper discusses the manner in which vehicles should be assigned to containers to support such multi-lifts of QCs by using information about the locations and times of deliveries. A mixed-integer programming model is introduced to optimally assign delivery tasks to vehicles. This model considers the constraint imposed by the limited buffer space under each QC. A procedure for converting buffer-space constraints into time window constraints and a heuristic algorithmfor overcoming the excessive computational time required for solving the mathematical model are suggested. A numerical experiment is conducted to compare the objective values and computational times of the heuristic algorithm with those of the optimizing method to evaluate the performance of the heuristic algorithm.

컨테이너 터미널은 게이트 시스템, 장치시스템, 이송시스템, 적양하시스템 등의 하부시스템으로 구성되어 있어서 시스템의 최적화가 요구되며, 운영에 있어서도 장비, 인력, 장치장 등 제한된 자원을 효율적으로 사용하는 것이 터미널 경쟁력 강화 측면에서 중요하다. 본 연구는 신항만 개발시 터미널 설계에 사용될 수 있는 시뮬레이션 모형을 제안하는 것이 목적이다. 문헌 조사를 통하여 기존 연구의 한계점을 도출하고 이를 보완하는 시뮬레이션 모형을 설계하고 모형을 개발하였다. 또한 가상의 터미널 개발을 가정하고 일부 모듈을 적용하여 신항만 개발시 요구되는 안벽길이, 안벽 크레인 수, 장치장 규모 등을 도출함으로써 제안된 시뮬레이션 모형의 활용 방안을 소개하였다.

RMQC, rail mounted quay crane, lifts and moves large container by means of hoist and trolley motion on the dock. Our company is trying to develop advanced RMQC applying the concepts of elevator hoist and container conveyer for the automation and high efficiency in handling the boxes. Prior to the development of new products, it is necessary to check the capacity of the new systems using simulation program. The program simulates container-handling rates and gives some design factors for the new-type cranes.

This paper introduces several decision-making problems that need to be solved in order to facilitate the efficient operation of container terminals. These decision-making problems include the berth planning problem, the quay crane scheduling problem, the unload/load sequencing problem, the yard allocation problem, and the short-term scheduling of transporters and yard cranes. These problems can be classified into strategic decision problems, tactical decision problems, and real time operational decision problems. This paper proposes definitions of the problems that can be used to develop mathematical models for the problems.
