Abstract

The problem of identifying and adequately positioning containers in the terminal yard during handling with Reach Stackers still remains to be solved in an appropriate manner, while this is extremely important in making the identification and positioning operations automatic. A precise knowledge in the Terminal Operating System (TOS) of such data in Real Time would have considerable economic impact on the logistic treatment of operations. The MOCONT system sets out to provide a solution to this lack. In particular, the MOCONT Location Module establishes the position of the container in the yard while it is being handled by a Reach Stacker. This system is based on the integration of the Differential Global Navigation Satellite System (DGNSS) with a Dead Reckoning (DR) inertial system. This article presents the general characteristics of the MOCONT Location Module, its structure, and the structure of data fusion, besides some results obtained experimentally.
