Operation System with RTK-GPS at Container Terminal

Abstract

In this research, the automation of operation system at container terminal is investigated. In this present paper, the instance of container terminal system installed at Evergreen's Yumeshima Container Terminal at Osaka port is reported. It's has applied RTK-GPS technology to detecting the position of CHE (container handing equipments such as transfer crane and top-lifter) and handling containers. As a result, it's has made possible executing optimum work-instructions for some CHEs and preventing operators from mishandling. Furthermore, it's could has reduced the installation costs compared to those currently in use.
