摘要

This research considers the case of a CargoTube physical Intranet network in Lower Saxony, connecting multiple automotive production sites. Through the economic growth of the region and its companies including the Volkswagen plant in Wolfsburg increased freight, especially on trucks, is brought to the region which brings along a lot of traffic, noise and pollution. For green transportation of goods, we need zero-emissions vehicles and new transport systems like CargoTube. The CargoTube transport solution not only brings in new Hyperloop technology such as the introduction of a low-pressure tube environment and a linear motor but combines these innovations with established technologies such as the wheel-rail interface. A system based on CargoTube transport solution autonomously loads and unloads standardized containers. Transporting containerized cargo hundreds of kilometers in minutes enables the just-in-time supply chains needed for an economy and increases company profits. The research is devoted CargoTube transport network analysis with the help of the multi-agent simulation system TraPodSim created based on AnyLogic software. The questions to be answered by the simulation are related to analyse the CargoTube Transport Network for a certain set of KPI’s and analysis of effectiveness of integration with other transport mode.
