| Abstract: | To reduce the ever rising road freight traffic, container transport by railway has to be promoted. Since nowadays the intermodal transport of freight containers with railway and trucks is only lucrative on large terminals, new small economical terminals have to be invented. To save costs the here introduced automatic container transshipment system can be operated by the truck driver himself. The horizontal construction of the system allows transferring the container under live catenary. Due to the fact that extra operating personal is not needed and that the system can handle standard containers without any modifications at the containers, at the trucks or at the railway wagons, the terminal can be operated economically. This paper first shows the economical aspects of such a small terminal. Then the construction of the machine is explained with focus on the laser scanner sensor system to detect the container fittings for the automatic gripping of the containers. Further the paper describes the control scheme of some of the mechanically coupled electrical actuators needed to run the machine. |
