With the diversification of the layout forms for automated container terminals,traditional lighting layout forms has been unable to meet the lighting requirements of automated terminals.This article analyzes the lighting requirements of automated docks based on different process routes and functional divisions,and proposes illumination requirements for different areas of different process routes.The DIAlux lighting software is introduced to establish a model,calculate and analyze the low pole street lamp lighting scheme of Qinzhou U-shaped automatic terminal and the high pole lighting scheme of Nansha Phase IV automatic terminal,and verify the rationality of different lighting schemes for different process routes.According to the different lighting requirements under different loading and unloading conditions,an optimized lighting grouping control logic and lighting control system design are proposed.
