Abstract
Underground logistics distribution systems seem to be a sustainable solution for environmental, congestion and space problems. In Holland many underground projects spring up like mushrooms, starting a definition phase to test the feasibility of the first underground designs. In order to gain a structured insight into the logistic dependencies, this paper defines three modelling levels of control: at vehicle level (micro), in order to control the traffic movements of the vehicles at handling areas and tubes; at transport order level (meso), in order to control the transport orders, the assignment of shipments and vehicles, and the empty vehicle stock management; and at interconnection level (macro), in order to achieve good connectivity with the schedules of the external transportation modalities.
