A method and system are provided for operating an automatically guided container transport vehicle that can be automatically guided during forward driving and during rearward driving. The transport vehicle includes a towing vehicle and a trailer with a loading surface for at least one container. The transport vehicle has a vehicle control system for controlling a steering system and a travel drive of the transport vehicle in such a way that the transport vehicle follows a nominal route. The nominal route is automatically pre-defined taking into account a trajectory of the transport vehicle.

Method and system for operating an automatically guided transport vehicle for containers

An arrangement of a gantry lifting device for handling containers, in particular ISO containers, having a sensor device for the navigation of the gantry lifting device and having a clearance profile which is formed such that the gantry lifting device can move across a container, and of a row of spaced-apart marking elements such that the gantry lifting device can be moved along the row of marking elements by means of raster navigation, where the row of marking elements can be read by the sensor device of the gantry lifting device. The sensor device, in an operating position, is arranged outside the clearance profile on the gantry lifting device so as, in the operating position, to read the row of marking elements for the navigation of the gantry lifting device, where the row of marking elements is arranged next to the clearance profile of the gantry lifting device.
