Phase IV of Yangshan project is the first fully automated container terminal in the world.Based on this,aiming at the problem of BIM applied in container terminal design,we take the research on general plan，hydraulic structure，mechanical design and other related professional field.We also put the BIM technology into traditional two-dimensional design mode,and get a fully automated container terminal BIM overall design technology route by the use of Autodesk BIM series software and Explorer BIM collaborative platform,especially focusing on the application process of BIM collaborative design platform and the BIM application method.It provides a reference for fully automated container terminal to transform from traditional two-dimensional design to BIM-based full life-cycle design application.
