Container terminal capable of handling containers and track-based vehicles that transport containers by installing a stop such as a quay that stops the ship and a stop such as a service line that stops track-based vehicles near the container yard. It can be considered.
In such a container terminal, the characteristics of cargo handling by the ship and the characteristics of cargo handling by the track system vehicle are considered, and both the ship and the track system vehicle can efficiently handle the cargo. It is preferable.

Specifically, the ship is characterized by transporting a large number of containers at once. For this reason, when the ship stops at the container terminal, it is necessary to load and unload a large amount of containers with the ship. In addition, the ship that has stopped at the container terminal is required to efficiently load and unload the container within a limited time from the cost required for anchoring at the port and the operation schedule of the ship.
In other words, when handling a ship, it is necessary to transport a predetermined amount of container between the ship and the container yard within a predetermined time. Therefore, the total number of operable chassis in the yard installed at the container terminal Will be used for cargo handling with the ship.

  On the other hand, a track system vehicle is characterized in that it is operated based on an accurate operation plan on the track. If the arrival and departure of track-type vehicles at the container terminal is delayed, the operation of other track-type vehicles may be hindered, and the operation plan may be significantly changed. For this reason, container terminals corresponding to track-based vehicles are required to complete cargo handling for track-based vehicles within a time frame determined in a track-based vehicle operation plan.

  When configuring a container terminal that can accommodate both the ship and track-based vehicles, it is necessary to consider the possibility that cargo handling by the ship and track-based vehicles will occur at the same time zone. In other words, even when all of the operable yard chassis deployed at the container terminal are used for cargo handling with the Vessel, the cargo handling for the track-based vehicles can be performed without delaying the arrival and departure of the track-based vehicles. It needs to be completed. However, in the container yard or the container terminal described in Patent Documents 1 to 3, there is a problem that cargo handling cannot be performed for the track system vehicle without a chassis in the yard that can be used for cargo handling with the track system vehicle. .

  In order to solve the shortage of chassis in the yard in the container terminal, it is conceivable to install a chassis in the yard that is sufficient for cargo handling for both the ship and the track system vehicle in the container terminal in advance. However, if the number of chassis in the yard is too large, there will always be a chassis in the yard that is not in operation unless the cargo handling for the ship and the cargo handling for the track system vehicles overlap at the same time. This causes a problem that the cargo handling efficiency for the vehicle becomes low. In addition, if all the chassis in the yard are always moved in order not to generate the chassis in the yard that is not in operation, there is a problem that the traffic in the chassis in the yard running in the container terminal occurs and the handling efficiency is lowered. It will cause.

  The present invention has been made in view of the above-described circumstances, and an object thereof is to provide a container terminal that can efficiently handle containers, an operation method thereof, and a cargo handling management apparatus corresponding to the ship and the track system vehicle.

A track system vehicle stop section, a first track system vehicle buffer yard provided along the track system vehicle stop section, the track system vehicle stop section, and the first track system vehicle buffer yard. Track-type vehicle portal crane for loading and unloading the container in between, the ship crane, and the yard portal clay And a container terminal, characterized in that it comprises a yard in the chassis for transferring said containers between each of the track system gantry crane vehicle.

  According to the present invention, when a container is transferred from the track system vehicle to the first track system vehicle buffer yard, the track type vehicle portal crane is used, and it is not necessary to use the chassis in the yard. For this reason, all operable chassis in the yard deployed in the container terminal can be used for loading and unloading containers between the ship and the container efficiently corresponding to both the ship and track-based vehicles. Can handle cargo.

Also, the second track in which the container to be passed from the container yard to the first track system vehicle buffer yard or the container to be passed from the first track system vehicle buffer yard to the container yard is stored. It is preferable that the vehicle vehicle buffer yard is further provided.

When the cargo handling instruction generating unit 68 receives all cargo handling end notifications for all cargo handling instructions related to cargo handling with the track-based vehicle 200, the cargo handling instruction determining unit 63 sends track-related vehicle cargo handling end information. To emit.
When the cargo handling instruction generating unit 68 receives all cargo handling end notifications for all cargo handling instructions related to cargo handling with the foreign chassis 300, the cargo handling instruction generating unit 68 issues foreign chassis cargo handling end information to the ship cargo handling determination means 63.

In addition, the cargo handling instruction generation unit 68 sets the unloading destination of the container C from the track vehicle 200 to either the container yard 6 or the track vehicle buffer yard 20 for setting.
That is, the cargo handling instruction generating unit 68 is a case where the cargo handling determination unit 63 determines that there is a cargo loading / unloading of the container C between the vessel 100 and the container terminal 1, and from the track system vehicle 200 to the container When the track system vehicle loading / unloading determination unit 64 determines that the container C is unloaded to the terminal 1, the unloading destination of the container C from the track system vehicle 200 is stored in the track system vehicle buffer yard 20. Set.

  On the other hand, the loading / unloading instruction generating unit 68 is a case where the loading / unloading determination means 63 determines that there is no loading / unloading of the container C between the ship 100 and the container terminal 1, and When the track system vehicle loading / unloading determining means 64 determines that there is a cargo unloading operation of the container C to the terminal 1, the unloading destination of the container C from the track system vehicle 200 is set in the container yard 6.

  Furthermore, the cargo handling instruction generation unit 68 also generates a cargo handling instruction (container conveyance instruction information) for moving the container C between the container yard 6 and the track vehicle buffer yard 20 and stores the cargo handling instruction in the cargo handling schedule storage unit 67.

  The input / output unit 69 is connected to the cargo handling instruction generating unit 68, and the cargo handling instruction generated by the cargo handling instruction generating unit 68 is used as the ship crane 5, the yard portal crane 10, the track system vehicle portal crane 21, And transmitted to the chassis 30 in the yard. The input / output unit 69 also receives a cargo handling completion notification indicating that the cargo handling operation has been completed from the ship crane 5, the yard portal crane 10, the track-type vehicle portal crane 21, and the chassis 30 in the yard. To do.

Next, the details of the operation of generating the cargo handling instruction in the cargo handling instruction generating unit 68 will be described below according to the route of loading and unloading the container C to and from the container terminal 1. FIG. 5 is a flowchart showing the flow of processing when the container terminal 1 is in operation.
In the container terminal 1 of the present embodiment, the container C is carried in or out through the following three routes.
A. Cargo handling with the ship 100 (hereinafter referred to as “ship handling”)
B. Cargo handling with the track system vehicle 200 (hereinafter referred to as “track system handling”).
C. Cargo handling with the foreign chassis 300 (hereinafter referred to as “foreign chassis handling”)

  The ship 100, the track system vehicle 200, and the foreign chassis 300 are operated according to an operation schedule independent of each other. For this reason, for example, the track-type vehicle 200 may arrive at the container terminal 1 when the ship 100 is stopped at the quay 2 and performs cargo handling. In such a case, if the cargo handling instruction for the chassis 30 in the yard that transports the container C in the container terminal 1 is divided into the cargo handling and the track-based cargo handling, the respective transporting efficiency is reduced, and the ship 100 and the track system The time during which the vehicle 200 is restrained for cargo handling becomes longer. Hereinafter, the operation of the container terminal 1 as a whole will be described focusing on the operation of the cargo handling instruction generation unit 68 when the track vehicle 200 arrives at the container terminal 1 when the ship 100 is stopped at the quay 2.

  The port entry schedule of the vessel 100 is input to the cargo handling management device 60 at a frequency of about once every half day, for example, and information on a predetermined operation schedule of the track vehicle 200 is also input to the cargo handling management device 60 (FIG. 5). Step S101). The receiving means 61 of the cargo handling management device 60 updates the port entry schedule of the ship 100 and the operation schedule of the track-type vehicle 200 according to the input, and stores the latest schedules.

  When the operation schedule of the ship 100 and the track system vehicle 200 is stored, the arrival schedule of the ship 100, the track system vehicle 200, and the foreign chassis 300 is referred to with reference to the operation schedule of the ship 100, the track system vehicle 200, and the foreign chassis 300. The arrival determination means 62 determines the presence or absence (step S102 shown in FIG. 5).

  If there is a change in the port entry schedule of the ship 100 or the arrival schedule of the track-type vehicle 200, the operation schedule is updated by proceeding to step S101 described above.

FIG. 6 is a flowchart showing the flow of processing in ship handling.
When the ship 100 arrives at the container terminal 1, the cargo handling instruction generation unit 68 starts the ship cargo handling.
First, the cargo handling instruction generation unit 68 refers to the determination result of the track-based vehicle cargo handling determination means 64 and acquires the status of the track-based cargo handling (step S201 shown in FIG. 6). The state of the track system cargo handling acquired by the cargo handling instruction generation unit 68 means that there is no track system cargo handling, the track system cargo handling is scheduled, and the track system cargo handling is started as soon as the track system cargo handling instruction is generated (waiting). , And any of four states during orbital system handling.
Subsequently, the processing is branched based on the acquired state of the track system cargo handling (step S202 shown in FIG. 6). In cases other than when the track system cargo handling is scheduled, An address to be a storage location for the container C to be unloaded from 100 is reserved in the container yard 6.

FIG. 7 is a flowchart showing a flow of processing for reserving an address.
The cargo handling instruction generating unit 68 of the cargo handling management device 60 refers to each operation schedule stored in the accepting means 61 and searches for an empty address as a storage location of the container C scheduled to be carried into the container terminal 1 (see FIG. Step S301 shown in FIG. The address of the storage location of the container unloaded from the ship 100 by the ship handling is retrieved from the container yard 6.

When the storage destination address of the container C is searched, the handling instruction generation unit 68 generates a handling instruction for transporting the container C to the position corresponding to the searched address (step S302 shown in FIG. 7).
Subsequently, the address retrieved as the storage location of the container C by the cargo handling instruction generation unit 68 is stored as a reserved address in the container storage information storage unit 66 (step S303 shown in FIG. 7). The reserved address in the container storage information storage unit 66 is protected so that it cannot be reserved as a storage destination of another container C until the reservation information is deleted.
Further, the cargo handling instruction generated by the cargo handling instruction generating unit 68 is added to and stored in the cargo handling schedule storage unit 67 (step S304 shown in FIG. 7).
Address reservation and cargo handling instructions are generated for each container C.

When the above step S304 for the last container C among all the containers C to be unloaded is completed, the cargo handling instruction generating unit 68 sequentially starts the cargo handling instruction related to the cargo handling of the first container C to be unloaded. The cargo handling instruction related to is called from the cargo handling schedule storage unit 67 and temporarily stored in the cargo handling instruction generation unit 68 (step S204 shown in FIG. 6).
The cargo handling instruction generating unit 68 temporarily stores the cargo handling instruction in the cargo handling instruction generating unit 68, and thereafter, the ship crane 5 disposed in the apron 4, the in-yard chassis 30 that travels in the container terminal 1, and the container yard 6. A cargo handling instruction is sequentially transmitted to the yard portal crane 10 disposed in each lane 7 via the input / output unit 69 (step S205 shown in FIG. 6).
Then, the ship crane 5 unloads the container C from the ship 100 and transfers it to the yard chassis 30. The yard chassis 30 moves the transferred container C to the bay 8 to which the position specified by the address information belongs. The yard portal crane 10 transfers the container C from the chassis 30 in the yard that has arrived at the bay 8 to the position specified by the address.

  When the cargo handling for transferring the container C to the position specified by the address is completed, the yard portal crane 10 transmits a cargo handling completion notification to the cargo handling instruction generating unit 68 via the input / output unit 69.

  The cargo handling instruction generating unit 68 receives the cargo handling completion notification transmitted from the yard portal crane 10 after the cargo handling based on the cargo handling instruction is completed via the input / output unit 69 (step S206 shown in FIG. 6). Further, the cargo handling instruction generating unit 68 sets an identifier indicating that the reservation is made for the address corresponding to the cargo handling instruction among the addresses stored in the container storage information storage unit 66 based on the received cargo handling end notification. Rewrite and save the individual information. Thereby, the address indicating the position where the container C is stored is associated with the individual information of the container C stored at this address.

  The chassis 30 in the yard where the container C is unloaded in the bay 8 goes to the ship crane 5 again. The in-yard chassis 30 arriving at the ship crane 5 carries the new container C to the container yard 6 after the new container C unloaded from the ship 100 is loaded.

  When all of the containers C scheduled to be unloaded from the ship 100 are unloaded, the containers C scheduled to be loaded on the ship 100 in the container yard 6 are then loaded in accordance with the loading instruction issued by the loading instruction generation unit 68. (Step S207 shown in FIG. 6). In this case, the chassis 30 in the yard moves to the bay 8 to which this position belongs based on the address indicating the position where the container C to be loaded is stored. The container C loaded on the ship 100 is transferred to the in-yard chassis 30 arriving at the bay 8 by the gate crane 10 for the yard. Further, the chassis 30 in the yard to which the container C is transferred conveys the container C to the ship crane 5. When the yard chassis 30 arrives at the ship crane 5, the container C loaded on the yard chassis 30 is loaded onto the ship 100 by the ship crane 5.

  When the container C scheduled to be loaded on the ship 100 is stored in the track vehicle buffer yard 20, the container C stored in the track vehicle buffer yard 20 is stored by the chassis 30 in the yard. You may convey to the ship crane 5. FIG.

  When loading on the ship 100 is finished, the ship handling is finished. Note that when there is no container C scheduled to be loaded onto the ship 100, the above step S207 is not performed.

  The time for stopping the ship 100 on the quay 2 is limited to the time determined by the contract or the like. For this reason, when unloading the container C between the ship 100 and the container yard 6, it is required to unload all the predetermined amount of the container C within this time. For this reason, in the container terminal 1 of this embodiment, when the cargo handling of loading / unloading of the container C occurs between the ship 100 and the container terminal 1, all operable chassis in the yard arranged in the container terminal 1. 30 is set to be used for cargo handling.

Here, for example, before the loading and unloading of the container C between the ship 100 and the container terminal 1 is completed, the track system vehicle 200 arrives at the lead-in line 12 and the cargo handling for unloading the container C from the track system vehicle 200 occurs. It may be scheduled on the schedule.
In this case, in step S202 described above, it is determined that there is a schedule for track-based cargo handling.
The arrival determination means 62 detects that the track system vehicle 200 arrives at the service line 12 based on the arrival schedule of the track system vehicle 200. The arrival determination unit 62 issues track system vehicle arrival information to the track system vehicle handling determination unit 64 when the track system vehicle 200 arrives.

  The track system vehicle handling determination unit 64 receives the track system vehicle arrival information from the arrival determination unit 62 and determines that there is a cargo handling between the track system vehicle 200 and the container terminal 1. As a result, the cargo handling instruction generating unit 68 determines that the main cargo handling and the track-type cargo handling are occurring simultaneously.

  Subsequently, the cargo handling instruction generation unit 68 performs a standby setting so that the track system cargo handling can be started as soon as the track system cargo handling instruction is generated (step S208 shown in FIG. 6). The cargo handling instruction generating unit 68 sets the track-based cargo handling to “waited” in step S208, and then proceeds to step S201 shown in FIG. 6 to continue the cargo handling.

Next, an example will be described in which track-based cargo handling is started during cargo handling.
FIG. 8 is a flowchart showing the flow of processing when orbital cargo handling is started during cargo handling.
When track-type cargo handling is scheduled to occur during ship cargo handling, the track-type cargo handling is in a standby state in step S208 described above. The arrival determination of the track system vehicle during the cargo handling is performed not in step S102 shown in FIG. 5 but in step S103. That is, the flow of the track-type cargo handling during the ship-loading shown in FIG. 8 is triggered by the arrival of the track-type vehicle 200 at the service line 12 of the container terminal 1.
When the track system vehicle 200 arrives at the lead-in line 12, it is determined by the arrival determination means 62 that the track system vehicle 200 has arrived, and the arrival determination means 62 issues track system vehicle arrival information.
The track system vehicle handling determination means 64 receives the track system vehicle arrival information issued by the arrival determination means 62 and determines that there is a track system cargo handling.

  The cargo handling instruction generating unit 68 checks the presence or absence of the chassis 30 in the yard that is not in operation in the container terminal 1 after the determination by the track-based vehicle cargo handling determining means 64 (step S401 shown in FIG. 8). In the present embodiment, the basic processing is to use all the in-yard chassis 30 for the main cargo handling during the main cargo handling. For example, when it is preferable that the number of the in-yard chassis 30 used for the main cargo handling is small. Can also make some of the total number of chassis 30 in the yard non-operating. In such a case, the in-yard chassis 30 can be used to handle the track system.

When there is a non-operating yard chassis 30 in the container terminal 1, the cargo handling instruction generation unit 68 sets the unloading destination of the container C to the container yard 6 (step S402 shown in FIG. 8). The case where there is no in-yard chassis 30 in the container terminal 1 will be described later.
After the unloading destination of the container C is set in the container yard 6, the cargo handling instruction generating unit 68 reserves the address of the storage destination of the container C in the container yard 6 and generates a cargo handling instruction for the container C (see FIG. 7 (see steps S301 to S304 shown in FIG. 7).

  Subsequently, the cargo handling instruction generation unit 68 calls a cargo handling instruction related to the cargo handling of the track system vehicle 200 from the cargo handling schedule storage unit 67, and inputs / outputs 69 to the track type vehicle portal crane 21 and the yard chassis 30. These cargo handling instructions are transmitted via (step S404 shown in FIG. 8). At this time, the cargo handling instruction generating unit 68 inputs / outputs the cargo handling instruction for the main cargo handling with respect to the intra-yard chassis 30 used for the main cargo handling among the in-yard chassis 30 traveling on the container terminal 1. It is transmitted via the unit 69 (step S205 shown in FIG. 5). For this reason, the cargo handling instruction generating unit 68 transmits a cargo handling instruction for track-type cargo handling via the input / output unit 69 to the non-operating chassis 30 in the yard that is not used for cargo handling. Thereafter, the cargo handling instruction generating unit 68 receives a cargo handling completion notification via the input / output unit 69 (step S405 shown in FIG. 8), and the track-based cargo handling during the cargo handling is terminated. In addition, after the track-type cargo handling during the main cargo handling is completed, the chassis 30 in the yard used for the track-type cargo handling during the main cargo handling may be allocated for the main cargo handling as needed.

When there is no in-yard chassis 30 that is not operating in step S401 described above, the cargo handling instruction generation unit 68 sets the unloading destination of the container C from the track system vehicle 200 to the track system vehicle buffer yard 20 (see FIG. Step S406 shown in FIG.
Subsequently, the cargo handling instruction generation unit 68 reserves the storage destination address of the container C in the track vehicle buffer yard 20 and generates a cargo handling instruction for the container C (Steps S301 to S304 shown in FIG. 7 are performed). reference).
Subsequently, the cargo handling instruction generating unit 68 calls a cargo handling instruction related to the cargo handling of the track system vehicle 200 from the cargo handling schedule storage unit 67, and inputs these to the track system vehicle portal crane 21 via the input / output unit 69. A cargo handling instruction is transmitted (step S408 shown in FIG. 8). When a cargo handling instruction is transmitted to the track-type vehicle portal crane 21 in step S408, the track-type vehicle portal crane 21 picks up the container C from the track-type vehicle 200 and uses the track-type vehicle corresponding to the reserved address. The container C is stored at a position in the buffer yard 20.

As described above, when the container terminal 1 of the present embodiment is operated, the unloading from the track system vehicle 200 can be performed even if all the in-yard chassis 30 are assigned to the ship handling.
That is, when there is a loading / unloading operation of the container C between the container yard 6 and the ship 100, the ship 100 and the container yard 6 are connected to each other using the operable chassis 30 in the yard provided in the container terminal 1. Container C is transported between the container yard 6 and the ship 100, and there is a loading / unloading of the container C between the container yard 6 and the ship 100, and there is a loading / unloading from the track system vehicle 200 to the container yard 6. Then, the container C is unloaded from the track system vehicle 200 to the track system vehicle buffer yard 20.

  Accordingly, all of the operable in-yard chassis 30 are used for the main cargo handling so that the main cargo handling is performed without any delay, and the unloading from the track system vehicle 200 is performed without any delay. The track-type vehicle 200 from which the container C is unloaded leaves the container terminal 1 in an empty state when there is no cargo handling to carry out the container C from the container terminal 1 separately.

Next, a case where track-type cargo handling occurs when the ship is not being handled will be described. FIG. 9 is a flowchart showing a flow of processing of the track-type cargo handling when the vessel is not currently handling cargo.
The track system loading / unloading is started based on the determination that the track system loading / unloading determination means 64 has the track system loading / unloading.
At this time, for example, the track system vehicle 200 loaded with the container C to be unloaded to the container terminal 1 is stopped at the service line 12 of the container terminal 1.
The cargo handling instruction generation unit 68 refers to the main cargo handling determination means 63 and acquires the status of the main cargo handling (step S501 shown in FIG. 9).

  After acquiring the state of cargo handling in step S501, the process branches based on whether or not the cargo handling is scheduled to start (step S502 shown in FIG. 9).

  If the ship cargo handling is scheduled to start, the presence / absence of the chassis 30 in the yard that is not in operation is confirmed (step S503 shown in FIG. 9). At this time, if the in-yard chassis 30 has already been reserved for the main cargo handling to be started, it is determined that the in-yard chassis 30 operates for the main cargo handling. Excluded.

  When there is no in-yard chassis 30 that is not in operation in the container terminal 1, steps S504, S505, S506, and S507 similar to steps S406, S407, S408, and S409 described above are performed, and the track vehicle 200 is loaded. The container C is stored in the track system vehicle buffer yard 20.

  Thereafter, it is determined whether or not the in-yard chassis 30 that has not been operated is generated due to the completion of the cargo handling (step S508 shown in FIG. 9). If there is no non-operating chassis in the yard 30, step S508 is repeated until a non-operating chassis in the yard 30 is generated.

  When it is determined in step S508 that there is a chassis 30 in the yard that is not in operation, the cargo handling instruction generation unit 68 searches for an empty address from the container yard 6 and the quantity of the container C stored in the track vehicle buffer yard 20 is reached. Reserve as many free addresses as. Further, a cargo handling instruction for transferring the container C from the track system vehicle buffer yard 20 is generated for each reserved address (see steps S509 shown in FIG. 9 and steps S301 to S304 shown in FIG. 7).

  The empty address stored in the container storage information storage unit 66 is updated as reserved by being reserved by the cargo handling instruction generating unit 68, and the cargo handling schedule storage unit 67 includes the container yard 6 and the track system vehicle buffer yard 20. Container conveyance instruction information, which is a cargo handling instruction for transferring the container C between the two, is added.

The container transfer instruction information indicates that no ship cargo handling has occurred, when the ship cargo handling determination means 63 determines that there is a vacancy in the chassis 30 in the yard, and no track cargo handling has occurred. Is issued from the cargo handling instruction generating unit 68 when the track system vehicle cargo handling determining means 64 has determined. The container conveyance instruction information is transmitted to each of the track-type vehicle portal crane 21, the yard chassis 30, and the yard portal crane 10 via the input / output unit 69. Each of the track-type vehicle portal crane 21, the yard chassis 30, and the yard portal crane 10 operates according to the container transfer instruction information, and after the operation according to the container transfer instruction information is finished, the cargo handling instruction generation unit 68 On the other hand, an end notification is transmitted via the input / output unit 69.
Accordingly, the container C unloaded from the track system vehicle 200 is temporarily stored in the track system vehicle buffer yard 20 and then stored in the container yard 6.

  If it is determined in step S502 that there is no cargo handling, or if it is determined in step S503 that there is an unoperated chassis 30 in the yard, steps S402, S403, S404, and S405 described above are performed. Similar steps S5512, S513, S514, and S515 are performed, and the container C loaded on the track system vehicle 200 is stored in the container yard 6.

Next, a case where there is cargo handling by the foreign chassis 300 will be described.
In this embodiment, when there is a cargo handling to carry the container C into the container yard 6 by the foreign chassis 300, the lane 7 that is not used for the cargo handling among the lanes 7 of the container yard 6 is set as the search range of the empty address. Is done. Then, the operator of the foreign chassis 300 is notified of the position of the bay 8 corresponding to the searched empty address, and the container C is transported to this bay 8. The container C on the foreign chassis 300 arriving at the bay 8 is stored in the lane 7 by the yard portal crane 10 provided in the lane 7 that is not used for cargo handling according to the cargo handling instruction generated by the cargo handling management device 60. Is done. When the cargo handling by the yard portal crane 10 is completed, a cargo handling completion notice is transmitted from the yard portal crane 10 to the cargo handling management device 60, and the individual information of the container C is associated with the address in the container storage information storage unit 66. Saved.

  Further, when there is a cargo handling to carry out the container C from the container yard 6 by the foreign chassis 300, the yard type gate crane 10 moves the container C from the container yard 6 to the foreign chassis 300 according to the cargo handling instruction issued by the cargo handling management device 60. Included. When cargo handling by the yard portal crane 10 is completed, a cargo handling completion notice is transmitted to the cargo handling management device 60, and the individual information of the container C associated with the address stored in the container storage information storage unit 66 is deleted. Note that the cargo handling management device 60 may generate container C carry-out information indicating that the container C is carried out and transmit it to the gate 40.

  As described above, according to the container terminal 1 and its operation method of the present embodiment, the ship 100 and the track system are provided by the quay 2 where the ship 100 stops and the service line 12 where the track vehicle 200 stops. This can correspond to the vehicle 200. Further, since the track system vehicle buffer yard 20 and the track system vehicle portal crane 21 that can unload the container C from the track system vehicle 200 without using the chassis 30 in the yard are provided, the main cargo handling and the track system are provided. Even if the cargo handling overlaps, the container C can be handled efficiently.

  Further, in the container terminal 1 of the present embodiment, the track yard vehicle buffer yard 20 is used without loading the chassis 30 in the yard for loading and unloading the container C to and from the track vehicle 200 during the cargo handling. Since the container C is transferred between the container terminal 1 and the container terminal 1, it is not necessary to deploy the chassis 30 in the yard so as to simultaneously handle both the main cargo handling and the track-type cargo handling. For this reason, the container terminal 1 can be operated with the optimum number of chassis 30 in the yard in order to efficiently perform the cargo handling. As a result, it is possible to increase the transport density by the chassis 30 in the yard by suppressing the generation of the chassis 30 in the yard that does not operate during cargo handling, and the efficiency is high.

  Further, since the number of chassis 30 in the yard that travel in the container terminal 1 can be reduced as compared with the number of chassis 30 in the yard that simultaneously correspond to both the ship cargo handling and the track-based cargo handling, the chassis 30 in the yard can be reduced. The traffic control in the yard chassis 30 in the container terminal 1 can be suppressed.

Further, according to the cargo handling management device 60 of the present embodiment, when the ship cargo handling and the track cargo handling are scheduled to overlap, the track handling is performed in advance with the track vehicle buffer yard 20 in advance. Since the cargo handling instruction is generated and the address of the storage location is reserved, the cargo handling schedule can be set before the ship 100 or the track vehicle 200 arrives, which is efficient.
.

(Modification)
Next, a modified example of the cargo handling management device 60 described in the first embodiment will be described.
In this modification, the operation of the cargo handling instruction generation unit 68 provided in the cargo handling management device 60 is different. Below, it demonstrates centering on a different part from operation | movement of the cargo handling instruction | indication production | generation part 68 demonstrated by the above-mentioned 1st Embodiment, and the overlapping description is abbreviate | omitted.

  The loading / unloading instruction generation unit 68 is a case where the loading / unloading determination unit 63 determines that there is no loading / unloading of the container C between the ship 100 and the container terminal 1, and from the container terminal 1 to the track vehicle When it is determined by the track-based vehicle loading / unloading determining means 64 that the container C is loaded to 200, the loading destination of the container C from the container yard 6 is set in the track-based vehicle buffer yard 20. .

  Further, the cargo handling instruction generation unit 68 searches for empty addresses in the track system vehicle buffer yard 20, reserves the same number of empty addresses as the number of containers C loaded on the track system vehicle 200, and stores the container storage information storage unit In 66, the address is updated as a reserved address. At this time, when the position where the container C is to be loaded on the track system vehicle 200 is specified, the bay near the freight car to be loaded with the container C in the track system vehicle 200 scheduled to stop on the service line 12. The storage destination address of the container C is reserved with reference to the individual information of the container C so that the container C is stored in FIG.

  When the storage destination address of the container C is set, the cargo handling instruction generating unit 68 uses the chassis 30 in the yard to store the container C stored in the container yard 6 and loaded onto the track vehicle 200. A cargo handling instruction (second container conveyance instruction information) to be transported to the cargo handling schedule storage unit 67 is generated. The container transport instruction information is transmitted to the yard portal crane 10, the yard chassis 30, and the track vehicle portal crane 21 before the track vehicle 200 arrives on the lead-in line 12. Sent through.

  After the track system vehicle 200 arrives on the lead-in line 12, the cargo handling instruction generation unit 68 transfers the container C from the track system vehicle buffer yard 20 to the track system vehicle 200 using the track type vehicle portal crane 21. A cargo handling instruction (container C transfer instruction information) is generated and transmitted to the track-type vehicle portal crane 21 via the input / output unit 69.

  In this modified example, when the container C scheduled to be loaded on the track system vehicle 200 is transferred to the track system vehicle buffer yard 20 in advance, when the ship cargo handling is scheduled to be performed, the time zone is reached. Even when the track-based vehicle 200 arrives at the container terminal 1 and plans to load the container C in the container yard 6, there is a cargo handling for unloading the container C from the container yard 6 using the chassis 30 in the yard. It is possible to suppress the occurrence and reduce the efficiency of the ship's cargo handling.

(Second Embodiment)
Next, a container terminal, a cargo handling management device, and a container terminal operation method according to a second embodiment of the present invention will be described. In the present embodiment, the same members as those described in the first embodiment and the modifications thereof are denoted by the same reference numerals, and redundant description is omitted. Also, the description of the operation of the same operation as that of the first embodiment and the modification thereof is omitted.

FIG. 10 is a plan view showing the container terminal 1A of the present embodiment.
As shown in FIG. 10, in this embodiment, the container C to be passed from the ship 100 or the container yard 6 to the track vehicle buffer yard 20, or from the track vehicle buffer yard 20 to the ship 100 or container yard 6. The second track system vehicle buffer yard 20B in which the container C is stored and the cargo handling management device 60A that performs cargo handling management using the second track system vehicle buffer yard 20B are provided. The configuration is different from that of the first embodiment.

  The second track system vehicle buffer yard 20 </ b> B is provided between the first track system vehicle buffer yard 20 and the container yard 6. The second track-type vehicle buffer yard 20B is provided with a lane 7B having the same configuration as the lane 7 of the container yard 6, and a second gate crane 10B of the same type as the yard portal crane 10 is disposed. ing. Instead of separately providing the second track system vehicle buffer yard 20B, the lane 7 closest to the track system vehicle buffer yard 20 among the plurality of lanes 7 of the container yard 6 is designated as the second track system. You may operate as the buffer yard 20B for vehicles.

  The cargo handling management device 60 </ b> A replaces the cargo handling instruction generation unit 68 described in the first embodiment with a cargo handling instruction for further generating a cargo handling instruction for unloading the container C with the second track vehicle buffer yard 20 </ b> B. The difference is that the generator 68A is provided (see FIG. 4).

Next, the operation of the cargo handling management device 60A in the present embodiment will be described focusing on differences from the cargo handling management device 60 in the first embodiment.
FIG. 11 is a flowchart showing the flow of cargo handling in the present embodiment.
The ship cargo handling starts when the ship arrives at the container terminal 1A as in the first embodiment (see FIG. 5). At this time, the cargo handling instruction generation unit 68A acquires the status of the track system cargo handling based on the determination by the track system vehicle handling determination means 64 (step S601 shown in FIG. 11). Furthermore, the cargo handling instruction generation unit 68A determines whether or not there is a track-type cargo handling (step S602 shown in FIG. 11).

While the track system vehicle handling determination unit 64 determines that cargo handling is being performed with the track system vehicle 200, the cargo handling instruction generation unit 68A recognizes that there is a track system cargo handling. Then, referring to the individual information of the container C loaded on the ship 100, the container C stored in the container yard 6 and the container C stored in the second track system vehicle buffer yard 20B are divided into the respective storages. The destination address is reserved and a cargo handling instruction is generated (steps S603 and S604 shown in FIG. 11).
That is, the empty address in the second track system vehicle buffer yard 20B is used as an address of the unloading destination from the ship 100 for all containers C scheduled to be loaded onto the track system vehicle 200 within a predetermined period. Reserved.

  When the quantity of containers C scheduled to be loaded on the track system vehicle 200 exceeds the quantity that can be stored in the second track system vehicle buffer yard 20B, a part of the container yard 6 is moved to the second position. Diverted as buffer vehicle buffer yard 20B. That is, in this case, a part of the vacant address of the container yard 6 is reserved as the storage destination address of the container C scheduled to be loaded on the track vehicle 200 within a predetermined period.

  Subsequently, the container C unloaded from the ship 100 is moved into the container terminal 1A through steps S605, S606, S607, and S608 similar to steps S204, S205, S206, and S207 described above. In step S606, the container C is transported to the second track system vehicle buffer yard 20B, and the cargo handling instruction for storing the container C in the second track system vehicle buffer yard 20B by the second portal crane 10B. Is different from step S205 described above only in that it is further transmitted.

  After the container C is completely loaded onto the main ship 100, a part of the container C stored in the second track system vehicle buffer yard 20B is moved to the track system vehicle buffer yard 20 as necessary. This is because the loading / unloading of the container C on the track-based vehicle 200 is scheduled to overlap with the vessel's loading / unloading based on the individual information of the container C stored in the second track-based vehicle buffer yard 20B. To C.

First, it is determined whether or not the container C is scheduled to be loaded on the track system vehicle 200 (step S609 shown in FIG. 11).
If it is determined in step S609 that the container C is scheduled to overlap with the cargo handling of the ship, a storage destination address is reserved in the buffer vehicle buffer yard 20 for the container C, and the container is transferred to this address. A cargo handling instruction for transferring C is generated by the cargo handling instruction generation unit 68A (step S610 shown in FIG. 11).

Subsequently, the cargo handling instruction generation unit 68A transmits a cargo handling instruction to the second portal crane 10B, the chassis 30 in the yard, and the track-type vehicle portal crane 21 via the input / output unit 69 (see FIG. 11 step S611). Thereby, the container C is moved from the second track system vehicle buffer yard 20B to the track system vehicle buffer yard 20.
Thereafter, the cargo handling instruction generation unit 68A receives a cargo handling completion notification via the input / output unit 69, and the ship cargo handling ends.

  Next, in step S602 described above, while the track system vehicle handling determination unit 64 determines that cargo handling is not being performed with the track system vehicle 200, the cargo handling instruction generation unit 68A The storage destination addresses are reserved in the track vehicle buffer yard 20 (steps S613 and S614 shown in FIG. 11).

  When the quantity of containers C scheduled to be loaded on the track system vehicle 200 exceeds the quantity that can be stored in the first track system vehicle buffer yard 20, the address of the unloading destination for the excess is set as The vacant address in the second track system vehicle buffer yard 20B is reserved. If the number of containers C scheduled to be loaded onto the track system vehicle 200 exceeds the number that can be stored in the second track system vehicle buffer yard 20B, the address of the unloading destination for the excess amount is stored. As shown, the empty addresses in each lane 7 of the container yard 6 are reserved in order from the side closer to the position of the second track system vehicle buffer yard 20B.

  Thereafter, steps S615 to S618 similar to steps S605 to S608 described above are performed, and the container C is stored in the container yard 6 and the track system vehicle buffer yard 20.

  In the present embodiment, the container C that is unloaded from the ship 100 by the ship handling is recognized as being divided into a container C that is scheduled to be loaded on the track system vehicle 200 and a container C that is not loaded on the track system vehicle 200, and is loaded on the track system vehicle 200. The container C scheduled to be transferred is directly transported to the track system vehicle buffer yard 20 or the second track system vehicle buffer yard 20B by the chassis 30 in the yard. Thereby, the container C can be handled efficiently.

  Furthermore, the container C scheduled to be loaded on the track system vehicle 200 is disposed in the second track system vehicle buffer yard 20B disposed closer to the track system vehicle buffer yard 20 than the lanes 7 of the container yard 6. Therefore, when the track system vehicle buffer yard 20 is operating for cargo handling with the track system vehicle 200, the track system vehicle buffer yard 20 is not interrupted and the track system vehicle buffer yard 20 is not interrupted. Container C can be stored near the buffer yard 20 for use. Thus, after the cargo handling with respect to the track system vehicle 200 is completed, the container C is transferred from the second track system vehicle buffer yard 20B to the track system vehicle buffer yard 20 or the subsequent track system vehicle 200. The distance over which the chassis 30 travels can be shortened and the cargo handling efficiency can be increased.
