To evaluate
freight performance under the combined operations of surface and underground
logistics systems, integrated logistics facilities network designs are depicted
according to city logistic features. Then, the design basis of underground
freight vehicles and a method for estimating intermodal transportation costs
are proposed. Furthermore, based on the case of Beijing, the dynamic
performance of transportation costs, overall transport capacity, flow
configuration, and traffic safety external benefits for the proposed integrated
network under different parameters of underground vehicle speed, departure
frequency, and facility capacity is simulated and analyzed. The results
indicate the following: (1) The combination of road and underground logistics
networks is conducive for reducing city logistics expenditures while improving
transport efficiency. (2) Compared with vehicle speed, the handling capacity of
underground hub nodes and the traffic capacity of trunk tunnels have a more
significant impact on the service level of an integrated network.
