As new technologies，especially detection and identification technologies，develop and become mature，yard interaction zone configuration in automated container terminals needs to be comprehensively updated.In view of this，this paper proposes optimization and upgrading schemes of detection,monitoring，identification，and other related system configuration according to the development of the detection and identification system as well as the interaction zone process.The paper adopts a three-dimensional (3D) software camera to simulate monitored images，uses a point cloud calculation method to simulate positioning data，and employs the image recognition method to identify the simulated image，which thus demonstrates the feasibility of the scheme.The configuration optimization and upgrading scheme of the yard interaction zone in automated container terminals can be applied to the actual interaction zone upgrading.Finally suggestion for further upgrades is put forward.The configuration of the interaction zone can be more upgraded and supports more function after the corresponding technology is mature.
