Proceedings of the Second International Intelligent Logistics Systems Conference 2006 A STUDY ON THE TECHNOLOGY DEVELOPMENT FOR NONSTOP AUTOMATED GATE SYSTEM Hyung Rim Choi*, Nam Kyu Park**, Dong-Ho Yoo***, Hae Kyoung Kwon**** *Professor, Dong-A University, hrchoi@dau.ac.kr ** Professor, Tongmyung University of Information and Technology, nkpark@tit.ac.kr *** Doctor's Course, Dong-A University, eastsky@dau.ac.kr **** Doctor's Course, Dong-A University, hkkwon@dau.ac.kr ABSTRACT With the appearance of the super large container, a lot of studies are actively being made to enhance competitiveness of the port logistics industry, trying to bring about a logistics revolution by grafting high-tech information technology. The introduction of an automated container terminal is expected to break through the limit of a traditional container terminal and bring a revolution on the whole port logistics industry. Some business models are being performed in Korea in order to realize the environment of an automated container terminal. However, those business models are undergoing difficulty because of lack of studies on technology introduction strategy and insufficient knowledge of actual problems. This paper has tried to suggest a nonstop-automated gate system to realize an automated container terminal. To this end, this study has presented some types of a nonstop-automated gate and suggested a detailed technology alternative for each type. Also, by means of validity evaluation, this paper has tested the technology alternatives of each type as well as introduction procedures. We expect that this paper will contribute to establishing a practical guideline for the introduction of a nonstop-automated container terminal. Key Words: Container Terminal, Nonstop Automated Gate System, Identification Systems (RFID, OCR, DSRC, ACDI, Mobile). 1. INTRODUCTION Geographically Korea is located not only in the main trunk route of the world, but also makes every effort to be a logistic hub in the Northeast Asia. Accordingly, the port and logistics field is Korea’s strategic industry. As an essential task for the realization of a ubiquitous container terminal, this study has suggested a nonstop-automated gate system. A container terminal gate plays the role of interface connecting container cargoes between a container terminal and the outside world. Recently the issues related to the port security including the ISPS Code (International Code for the Security of Ships and of Port Facilities) of SOLAS treaty and CSI (Container Security Initiative) are coming to the fore, thus increasing the importance of the gate. In particular, in order to enhance productivity and reduce expenses by means of speedy container handling, the necessity of developing a nonstop-automated gate system is being raised. For the introduction of nonstop-automated gate system, this paper has studied the situation and feature of the container terminal gates at home and abroad, and classified the gate systems by stage and by pattern. Also, the technologies available by pattern have been analyzed, thus suggesting the technology alternatives by pattern through the combination of core technologies. 12.1
