Resumen

Container terminal yards are automated terminal yards. The rail-mounted gantry crane (RMGC) and rail-mounted gantry crane tracks (RMGCTs) that frequently operate in terminal yards need to be inspected regularly to ensure the safe operation of container transportation in the yard. This paper proposes a framework for the path planning of RMGCT visual inspection using a UAV in container terminal yards in a port environment. The framework consisted of two main aspects. First, a global path to all inspection viewpoints was planned according to the inspection requirements using the A* algorithm and the improved minimum snap method. Second, the intelligent bidirectional rapidly exploring random trees star (IB-RRT*) algorithm was introduced to plan the local path during the flight of the UAV. Finally, the feasibility of the path-planning framework was demonstrated using simulation experiments.
