Abstract: A method and system are provided for operating an automatically guided container transport vehicle that can be automatically guided during forward driving and during rearward driving. The transport vehicle includes a towing vehicle and a trailer with a loading surface for at least one container. The transport vehicle has a vehicle control system for controlling a steering system and a travel drive of the transport vehicle in such a way that the transport vehicle follows a nominal route. The nominal route is automatically pre-defined taking into account a trajectory of the transport vehicle.

Abstract: An arrangement of a gantry lifting device for handling containers, in particular ISO containers, having a sensor device for the navigation of the gantry lifting device and having a clearance profile which is formed such that the gantry lifting device can move across a container, and of a row of spaced-apart marking elements such that the gantry lifting device can be moved along the row of marking elements by means of raster navigation, where the row of marking elements can be read by the sensor device of the gantry lifting device. The sensor device, in an operating position, is arranged outside the clearance profile on the gantry lifting device so as, in the operating position, to read the row of marking elements for the navigation of the gantry lifting device, where the row of marking elements is arranged next to the clearance profile of the gantry lifting device.

Abstract: A storage area for containers having at least one storage region arranged between two travel paths for the gantry crane, such that the gantry crane can be moved over the storage region on the travel paths, and where a transfer region is arranged between the travel paths at an end of the storage region pointing in the travel direction of the gantry crane, which can be reached by the gantry crane and a transport vehicle to transfer containers into and out of the storage area. An intermediate region is provided between the transfer region and the storage region; the transfer region and the intermediate region are designed and arranged such that a passage through the transfer region and travel in the intermediate region is possible for a transport vehicle, and the travel in the intermediate region is possible before or after the passage through the transfer region.

Abstract: The invention relates to a system for the contactless inspection of containers, particularly ISO containers, within a loading and unloading plant, in which system a container is inspected in at least one screening device arranged in an inspection station. The container to be inspected is transported to the inspection station and away from the inspection station by a driverless transport vehicle. In order to create a safe system, the container can be set down in the inspection station for the inspection process by the transport vehicle, the container can be inspected at least by the one screening device that can be moved along the container, and the container can be picked up in the inspection station by the transport vehicle.
