Abstract

Interest in high productivity and streamlined operation is growing amid a heated competition between ports and mega size vessel oriented operation. It becomes clear that terminals that operate YT(Yard Tractor) for transportation in container yard have less efficiency in operation and cost comparing terminals functioning AGV(Automated Guided Vehicle} system To offset disadvantages arising out of YT operations, continual efforts (e ,g YT pooling operation) were taken place for the last decade, but the result has not been fruitful; YT pooling operation still has a problem in that it cannot read individual YT's actual location This study suggests 'YT dynamic operation model'- a practical application of RTLS(Real Time Location System) technology which will solve IT pooling operation problems.
