Driving Factors

The transport ministry of Japan suggests an automated logistics link between Osaka and Tokyo. A group of experts from the ministry of land, Infrastructure, transportation, and tourism has suggested creating automated logistics systems that move cargo along expressways via subterranean tunnels or middle strips. This project is motivated by the increasing need for effective logistics solutions, which is being driven by the need for optimized supply chain operations and the quick growth of the e-commerce industry. Additionally, the well-known population collapse problems in Japan portend serious labour shortages in the years to come. One particular problem that this project seeks to address is the ongoing increase in online shopping, which is predicted to result in a decrease in the number of delivery drivers available to transport items. Since, there will not be anyone to move them, the nation anticipates that by 2030, over 30% of packages will not make it from point A to point B.
