SYSTEM STUDY FOR TUBE-WAGON FREIGHT TRANSPORTATION

To increase the transport capacity in Japan, a new system known as "tube wagons" has been studied. The capacity of such a system for the proposed quantities of freight and equipment, and terminals and rights of way for such a system have been examined by simulation. A comparison between the tube system and long unit trains has been made.
