| 摘要： | Texas researchers will spend the next several years studying the feasibility of a subterranean freight pipeline system. Also known as tube freight, this system, which will be analyzed through a series of simulations and other evaluations, would consist of 2-m reinforced concrete pipes capable of holding pallet-carrying vehicles. The self-propelled vehicles ideally could carry almost any palletized freight currently on Texas highways, reducing the need for long-haul trucks. Prototypes already exist in Japan, the Netherlands, and the United States. Benefits of the system include saving lives, reducing pollution, cutting transportation expenses, and providing a more efficient freight transport mode to the public. |
