Modern logistics, the constantly growing scope of its tasks, new challenges in the area of distribution, especially in urban areas, as well as emerging limitations, require new innovative solutions. The technological revolution has created new opportunities and has also significantly reduced the costs associated with implementing even the most futuristic solutions. These new, innovative solutions bring many benefits to both companies and individual users, and their application is slowly becoming a necessity.An example is the concept of underground, automated highways (Underground Automated Highway) presented in the article. This concept and its implementation can significantly contribute to solving many important and difficult problems related to distribution in urban areas.
The article also presents the sources and assumptions of this concept. Attention is also drawn to the advantages and risks associated with its implementation. Examples of already implemented solutions are also indicated. Furthermore, possible directions for the development of these modern highways are presented based on ongoing research and projects.
NEW CAPABILITIES IN COMPLETION OF URBAN LOGISTICS TASKS – UNDERGROUND AUTOMATED HIGHWAYS CONCEPT
Present logistics issues, its growing spectrum, new good distribution challenges especially in urban areas, show a need for new innovative solutions. Technological progress has opened new opportunities, which connected with reduced costs give new possibilities for completion even some futuristic concepts. The new innovative transport solutions can be profitable for both industry and individual customers and slowly we can realize a need for their implementation.
