DESIGNING THE STRUCTURE AND ALIGNMENT OF AN UNDERGROUND LOGISTIC SYSTEM; THE CASE OF THE AMSTERDAM AIRPORT

Amsterdam Airport and its environment are suffering from increasing traffic congestion. It is caused partly by airport related activities which in turn suffer from it. An Underground Logistic System should make a contribution to the solution of these problems. A definition study was undertaken to define the general characteristics of the system, including the alignment. The paper describes the process of systematically designing the alignment, parallel to assessing the economic function of the system and choosing its technical characteristics. It sheds light on the criteria to be applied in the various stages of the design process of this type of system.
