Regarding the prominent contradictions such as the high energy consumption of high-speed rail cranes in the horizontal transportation of the traditional automated container terminal yard and the concentration of interaction points and the limited number of interaction points，through a large number of in-depth research and special research，a new “U-shaped vertical arrangement” construction mode is proposed，and the mode is successfully applied in the Qinzhou Port automated container terminal. This model breaks through the shackles of traditional automatic container yard loading and unloading at the end，reflects the core design concept of traffic separation，simple interaction，straight in and straight out，and fully adapts to the requirements and operational characteristics of the Qinzhou Port automated container yard under the new situation.
