“…Multimode facility location-routing is another factor that greatly affects the implementation efficiency and operation cost of ULSs [25]. Considering the uncertainty of logistics nodes, network planning is vital for managing the total cost and risk of ULSs [26]. Dynamic and uncertain graph programming have been applied to address the ULS planning issue [26].…”

The surging demand for logistics systems brought about by the vigorous development of e-commerce makes urban traffic more and more congested. The need for a sustainable transition in terms of urban transportation infrastructure also encourages the further innovation of logistics systems. The urban underground logistics system (ULS) emerges as a promising alternative for realizing efficient large-scale freight distribution in megacities. However, there are relatively few studies that have explored the factors that determine the uptake of ULSs in practice. This paper thus aims to identify the critical success factors of ULSs throughout project life cycle stages. Firstly, a desktop study and a study using the Delphi method were conducted to extract the critical success factors (CSFs) of ULS projects. Secondly, a questionnaire survey was conducted to collect data on the perceived significance of the selected success factors from ULS professionals. Thirdly, the intergroup comparison of the significance of CSFs and exploratory factory analysis were used to ascertain the critical factors and latent determinants influencing the development of ULS projects. In total, 36 CSFs in the four life cycle stages of ULS projects were finalized. The identified factors represent the seven latent determinants in developing a ULS project, namely, overall feasibility and acceptance of the ULS, prototype system, and business model, competence and resources for ULS construction and operation, station layout and intermodal transportation, government policies and incentives, long-term planning of the underground space and logistics network, and market investigation and forecasting. The research findings of the paper help guide practitioners and policy makers on decisions made during ULS planning and construction and provide a reference performance evaluation framework for ULS projects.

“…With the recognition of ULS, the research began to be closely related to urban logistics and dynamic planning, and gradually moved to the application research stage. The research topics focus on underground space development and management [26,27], pipe network site selection and construction [28,29], cost-benefit analysis [30][31][32], operation plan research [33,34], etc. The coordinated operation of urban underground logistics and urban subway has become a research hotspot.…”

“…Li and Wang [92] used Steiner minimum tree and found another way optimize the path by simulated plant growth algorithm (PGSA). Zhong et al [28] proposed a dynamic programming model, which comprehensively uses the uncertainty graph and the improved SA. This model reflects the network construction progress and dynamic evolution process in the solution process, and is more in line with the network planning process in reality.…”

Research on the underground logistics system (ULS) has been carried out for nearly 30 years, but the description of the global research network, research trends, and the discussion of advanced theories and practices have not been systematically reviewed so far. The concept of public freight has expanded a new development direction: metro-based underground logistics system (M-ULS). The purpose of this paper is to analyze this new model by taking underground logistics and public freight as the research object. We performed statistical analyses of 222 references and constructed three kinds of visualized bibliographic information experiments for regional collaboration, authorship collaboration, and keywords co-occurrence. Based on the scientometrics results, the evolution path of the literature evolution was drawn. We used cluster-analysis-based taxonomy to structure the recent relevant literature. According to the comprehensive review, the research stays in the theoretical research stage, mainly focusing on system concept and planning, traffic organization, and network operation. There is still a lack of discussion on engineering quantification and application implementation. Finally, this study highlights some brief ideas, discussions, and potential suggestions for future research. This bibliometric research is expected to provide researchers and practitioners with a panoramic description and in-depth understanding of ULS and M-ULS research.

“…Some scholars designed the conceptual model of the underground logistics system with Cargo Cap as the carrier, advised pallet-size freight and carried out the network planning and terminal model design within certain areas [24]. Other scholars have carried out the network planning of underground logistics system by using the theories of the uncertain graph and dynamic programming [25]; when it comes to route selection, certain scholars used a genetic algorithm to plan the layout of the distribution route considering the time and investment [26]. Other scholars, taking into account the interests of both logistics planning decision-making departments and customers, used the bi-level programming model to study the location of logistics nodes in the construction of the underground logistics system [27].…”

As a new mode of transportation, the underground logistics system (ULS) has become one of the solutions to the problems of environmental pollution and traffic congestion. Considering the environmental and economic factors in urban logistics, this paper conducts comprehensive design and optimization research on the network nodes and passages of urban underground logistics and proposes a relatively complete framework for a sustainable underground logistics network. A hybrid method is proposed, which includes the set cover model used to perform the first location of urban underground logistics nodes, the fuzzy clustering method applied to classify the located logistics nodes into the first-level and second-level nodes considering the congestion in different urban areas of the city and a mixed integer programming model proposed to optimize and design the underground logistics passage to find optimal passage parameters at every underground logistics node. Based on the above hybrid method, a sustainable underground logistics network framework including all-levels logistics nodes and passages is formed, with a subdistrict of Nanjing as a case study. The discussion of results shows that this underground logistics network framework proposal is very effective in reducing logistics time cost, exhaust emission and congestion cost. It provides support for decisions in the design and development of urban sustainable underground logistics networks.
