Technological Analysis of Automatic Container Terminal Automated Guided Vehicle and Intelligent Guided Vehicle

Abstract

Generally, an automated container terminal is divided into three operating areas: wharf apron operating area, horizontal transportation operating area and container yard operating area. Because of the complexity of working conditions, the automation of horizontal transportation area is more difficult than the other two. It is one of the key factors affecting the operation efficiency, total investment, operating cost, environmental safety and handling capacity of automated terminals, and it is also the difficult problem of the automated container terminal process system comparison and selection. This paper will analyze and prospect two important horizontal transport machineries in automated container terminal, and technical suggestions are put forward for constructing automated container terminal and upgrading traditional container terminal.
