Abstract
Worldwide, governments are making efforts to enhance the efficiency of port terminals by applying new technologies developed in the context of the Fourth Industrial Revolution. This study aims to systematically analyze port productivity and operational efficiency by establishing cloud-based virtual port-container terminals using operational data from Busan Port terminals. Accordingly, the integrated aspect-oriented modeling approach is applied to actual operational data from port-container terminals to develop a reusable, extendible and modifiable control system. This technique is used to establish a virtualized port-container terminal. In addition, this study presents a way to solve various problems arising from port-container terminals by analyzing real-time operation data generated by the terminals through a cloud system, as well as suggests ways to streamline operations. The methodology presented in this study can be applied to establish optimal operating systems for various ports and to develop and operate future port-container terminal systems.
Highlights
Given the worldwide increase in port flow rates and the emergence of high-potential markets such as China, the flow rate of processed waste in the Northeast Asian region has increased significantly [1].the carrying capacity of ships has continued to grow
Live operational data from the port-container terminal operated at Busan Port were used for simulation using integrated aspect-oriented modeling approach (i-AOMA)

Summary
Given the worldwide increase in port flow rates and the emergence of high-potential markets such as China, the flow rate of processed waste in the Northeast Asian region has increased significantly [1]. The carrying capacity of ships has continued to grow. Systematic planning and operation of port facilities in each country are essential for the efficient treatment of material flows. Efforts to increase productivity and efficiency include the automation of cargo-handling systems at port-container terminals, enhancement of operation systems, relocation of container terminal facilities and retraining of operators. To enhance the economic effect of port operations, it is important to continuously pursue business improvements that can make container terminals more competitive. A competitive container terminal offers a high level of service that expedites the import/export of cargo, allowing ships to spend less time at ports [2]
