“…However, generally costs are higher than construction on the land surface and, in reality, use of the underground is seldom chosen unless there is a factor such as environmental issues affecting the surrounding area. Still, underground space is used when vertical use is unavoidable due to congestion, use of the land surface for other purposes is desired or the environment on the land surface should be preserved (Nishi et al, 2000;Takasaki et al, 2000;Nakada et al, 1996;Endo, 1993;Kashima et al, 1993;Igarashi and Okumura, 1993;Matsusita et al, 1993).…”

“…Another ambitious concept is the urban underground freight pipeline and logistics system (ULS), which aims to alleviate traffic congestion and vehicle emissions by shifting the goods movement from urban road to a group of dedicated underground tunnels/pipelines [109,110]. The relevant research of ULS, such as underground transportation technology [111], feasibility [112] and system design [113], has actually experienced long-term study.…”

The contradiction between the contribution of city logistics (CL) to sustainable urban development and its negative externalities is increasingly prominent. Policy supervision measures and the green logistics initiative are also in conflict with the management goal of logistics enterprises. Innovative solutions for CL have attracted increasing research attention worldwide. However, the description of the global research network in the field of CL, research trends, and the discussion of advanced theories and practices have not been systematically reviewed so far. Especially in the past three years, there has been an explosive growth of relevant literature. In this paper, the method of combining scientometric analysis and thematic discussion was adopted to systematically review 513 important works in the literature from 1993 to 2018, aiming to provide a holistic understanding of the status in quo, trends and gaps of CL research, and to further analyze prominent problems. The study has made statistical analyses of the publication year profile, journal allocation and research methods of the included literature, and constructed four kinds of visualized bibliographic information timeline maps for the authorship network, international collaboration network, keywords co-occurrence network and research topic clustering. Then, the three themes summarized by clustering are discussed, mainly focusing on CL strategies and policy, green supply chain management, planning methods, and advanced concepts and practices. Finally, the research gaps framework and agenda were reported. This study contributes to summarizing the research and development of city logistics on the whole, and can also serve as an explorative manual to support sustainable urban freight activities and innovative research.

“…Type of transport and locomotive-Various ULSs have been designed based on different types of underground transportation technology or locomotive, such as pneumatic capsule pipeline (PCP) [12], CargoCap [13], Dual Mode Trucks technology [14], Pipe §net [15], and AGV technology [16]. In these numerous ULSs, many innovative technologies have been widely applied, such as magnetic levitation technology, vacuum piping technology, linear introduction motors technology, and pneumatic transport system.…”

“…In addition, since the regional logistics demand may exceed the capacity of ULS, especially in the early stage of network construction, the UFV is introduced to represent the actual freight volume transferred underground, which is the smaller value of ULD and UC, as shown in Equation (13). Meanwhile, the ratio of the UFV to ULD is represented as the ULS logistics supply and demand ratio (UR), as shown in Equation (14).…”

The Impact of Underground Logistics System on Urban Sustainable Development: A System Dynamics Approach

The lack of practical application and accurate benefit analysis, which are the prerequisites for each other, make it difficult to implement and promote the underground logistics system (ULS), although in theory people always recognize its advantages in sustainable improvement of urban transportation and logistics. This paper attempts to use the system dynamics (SD) method, based on the real-world simulation, to analyze the quantitative relationship between the implementation strategy of ULS and the sustainability of urban transportation and logistics to solve this problem. Beijing city, China, was selected as the empirical background. Four ULS implementation strategies were proposed according to the city's potential investment in ULS and its demand for ULS network capacity. Meanwhile, four representative indicators were selected to evaluate the simulation results, including the average speed of the road networks in the peak hour, congestion loss, delivery travel time in the peak hour and the PM emissions of the truck. Good fitting index of historical data shows the validity of the model. Simulation results show that ULS, as a supplement to the urban integrated transport system, can significantly improve urban traffic and logistics. This study provides a perspective in the systematic and quantitative analysis of ULS to support the urban sustainable development.
