Comparison of operations of AGVs and ALVs in an automated container terminal
Journal of Intelligent Manufacturing, 2009In an automated container terminal, the automated guided vehicles (AGVs) and the automated lifting vehicles (ALVs) are the most popular candidates to be used for transporting containers between the quayside and the storage yard. In this paper, we compare the operational productivities of the two types of vehicles when used in combination with the quay ...

Design and simulation of automated container terminal using AGVs
2001 European Control Conference (ECC), 2001Booming in the world trade, scarcity of land for yard expansion in many ports, and deployment of new massive megaships have magnified the need for finding better ways of performing container terminal operations. High-density Automated Container Terminals (ACTs), with high operation efficiency and requiring less land, can thus become potential ...

A Simulation Study on the Design of a Novel Automated Container Terminal
IEEE Transactions on Intelligent Transportation Systems, 2015In this paper, we design, analyze, and evaluate a novel automated container terminal (ACT), namely, the rail-shuttle-based ACT. To analyze the performance, one detailed simulation system is built based on parametric design ideas. Two different microscopic rail-shuttle-based ACT simulation models, in which either straddle carriers (SCs) or automated ...

Modeling and Control of the AGV System in an Automated Container Terminal
Modelling, Identification, and Control, 2010We study a modeling and traf??c control problem of the automated guided vehicle (AGV) system in a container terminal. The workspace of the vehicles (straddle carriers) is modeled as a road network composed of of lanes, crosses and depots. The container transport task for each vehicle is abstracted as a ??nite sequence of zones to be traversed by a ...

An architectural design of control software for automated container terminals
Computers & Industrial Engineering, 2004Abstract Automation of handling equipment is a current trend in port container terminal. Because a large number of equipment of different types are involved in the handling operation, the structure of control software is highly complicated. This paper introduces an architectural design of control software and a simulation-based test-bed for testing ...

Scheduling of Different Automated Yard Crane Systems at Container Terminals
Transportation Science, 2017In this work, different variants of a branch-and-bound procedure for yard crane scheduling at seaport container terminals and their effect on the terminal’s performance are studied. In particular, this work investigates the level of detail needed to take the exact crane characteristics, e.g., movements and crane interference, into account in the ...

Process and Equipment Automation for Container Terminals
Ports 2010, 2010This paper provides guidance to engineers and port management on process and equipment automation on container terminals. Process automation will be limited to automatic data capture and equipment tracking on terminal. Two types of information are provided, foundation knowledge and a guide to innovation.

Proceedings KORUS 2000. The 4th Korea-Russia International Symposium On Science and Technology, 2002
We verify that many unmanned container transporter (UCT) are controlled flexibly by searching shortest time path and applying supervisory control. Using the shortest path searching algorithm and link-occupation timetable, the system searches shortest time path.

Automated Carboxy-Terminal Sequence Analysis of Polypeptides Containing C-Terminal Proline
Analytical Biochemistry, 1995Proteins and peptides can be sequenced from the carboxy-terminus with isothiocyanate reagents to produce amino acid thiohydantoin derivatives. Previous studies in our laboratory have focused on automation of the thiocyanate chemistry using diphenyl phosphoroisothiocyanatidate (DPP-ITC) and pyridine to derivatize the C-terminal amino acid to a ...
