A Visionary Concept for the Integration of Transportation and Logistics Distribution in a Future City:"Way+"Smart City Underground Logistics System
[Introduction]In order to address the issues of high costs and occupation of limited road space in urban ground distribution,we build an underground logistics delivery networks,enabling efficient,automated,and intelligent logistics transportation.[Method]We aimed to achieve efficient and economical logistics distribution while keeping costs under control by using advanced information technology.[Result]This paper envisages an underground smart logistic system—"Way+".This system,based on underground municipal infrastructure,introduces information technology,breakthrough planning architecture theory and intelligent manufacturing technology,by building an underground high-speed intelligent channel network specialized for freight,so as to realize automatic and intelligent delivery of goods[Conclusion]This paper provides innovative route for new retail and construction of future green smart cities.
