Abstract
Currently, urban areas face congestion problems that diminish personal mobility and freight-transport productivity. An increasing number of experts suggest that separating freight traffic from passenger traffic makes sense in terms of economics, the environment, and safety. Some experts suggest that tube transportation is the solution. The objective of this paper is to evaluate the potential benefits and limitations of tube transportation system as a viable mode of transport that can alleviate congestion on roadways. Specifically, this research employs theoretical and practical method identifying, evaluating, and selecting appropriate freight pipeline systems; evaluating the technical and economic feasibility of tube transportation; and estimating environmental, energy, and safety benefits.
