Study of Underground Logistics System Based on Urban Rail Transit and Its Infrastructure Renovations
Publication: Resilience and Sustainable Transportation Systems
ABSTRACT
Urban rail transit (URT) has the obvious advantages such as independent right of way, fast transportation speed, wide network coverage, and high safety. To alleviate the city freight problems and improve the service level of urban logistics, we discuss an URT-based underground logistics system and perform its feasibility analysis in the aspects of logistics organization, category of transportation goods, operating periods, vehicle type, and transportation capacity. In order to provide insights to promote the practical application of such logistics system, we further propose the mixed mode and the freight mode of URT-based logistics system. Emphasis has been laid on the different requirements of such two modes in terms of infrastructure renovation and operating organization. This paper is of practical significance and provides an important reference for designing URT-based logistics system for metropolitan cities.
