Study on Fuzzy Clustering Algorithm with Applications for the Intelligent and Efficient Automated Handling Container Terminal

The intelligent and efficient automated handling container terminal (IEAHCT) was regarded as the study object, and the field-bus technology (PROFIBUS-DP for MICREX-SX series) was adopted to build monitoring system for the IEAHCT. The traditional clustering algorithms and the basic idea were studied, and the algorithm of the c- maximum clustering and the fuzzy c- maximum clustering were presented. A set of programs development with VB6.5 for the whole theory have been worked out which makes it possible to achieve the goal of on-line fault diagnosis for the IEAHCT.
