Research Abstract |
This paper proposes a new underground goods transport system in order to reduce the severe congestion on urban roads and solve the problems such as environmental problems especially caused by large trucks, energy problem, shortage of truck drivers and increase of their average age, and shortage of land for terminal facilities. Cargo will be packed into containers and carried by the trains, and the network of the system will run underground around 300km and have 150 depots, if the new system is implemented in the Tokyo metropolitan area. At first we interviewed with the logistics companies and shippers to recognize the real logistic situation, analyzed the existing survey data of physical distribution in urban area, and made the mechanism of the distribution clear by shippers' behavior models. Secondly, we made the functions of this system clear and determined the size of the network and the number of the distribution centers. At last, we made the benefit analysis of this system in terms of the increase of the travel speed of the other vehicles, the reduction of the energy consumption, the exhaust gas, and the number of the track drivers.
