Underground capsule pipeline logistic system Feasibility study of an urban application
(2023) 2022 Conference Proceedings Transport Research Arena, TRA Lisbon 2022 In Transportation Research Procedia 72. p.3126-3133- Abstract
A feasibility study of an underground capsule-pipe system for storing and transporting small items and waste is presented. “Hyperloop for packages” for the last/first/mile/yard all the way to and from the final user in apartments and establishments. In many cases, one capsule of 2 kg can do the same job as a car with 1000 times larger mass. The conclusion is that such a system is technically feasible and economically good for all stakeholders. In one scenario, 30% less traffic and CO2 and freed space was valued more than system cost. Still, society is not yet prepared and unaware of the possibility.

The storybook Pipeville 2030 and a scale model of capsule-pipe logistics in LEGO were created to visualize and play around with during workshops, surveys, and story writing. Results from the first survey and Lisa's user story are presented. Finally, areas for future research are suggested.
