Description

  The present invention relates to a transportation system capable of efficiently transporting a transported object such as a person or a vehicle between points separated in a vertical direction and a horizontal direction.

A large number of tunnels and conduits for railways, electricity, gas, communications, water and sewage are buried under the roads of large cities. For this reason, in a newly constructed subway or the like, it is necessary to avoid a pipeline that has already been constructed, and it is necessary to increase the depth year by year. In addition, since a large underground depth of about 40 m or less is not normally used, it is desired to effectively use this portion. For this reason, in 2001, except in certain cases, there was a law (Special Measures Law on Public Use of Deep Underground) that allows the right to use deep underground without compensation to landowners. It is enforced and it is possible to construct a pipeline economically in a deep underground part (see Non-Patent Document 1).

  However, due to the enforcement of such a law, for example, if a road is constructed in a deep underground part to try to alleviate traffic congestion on the ground, the distance between the above ground part and the deep underground part is too long. Its construction is not realistic. For example, in the case where a straight slope is formed between the above-ground part and the deep underground part, usually, the slope should be about 5% or less. For this reason, for example, in the case where the depth of the deep underground part is 40 m, it is necessary to secure at least about 800 m of a straight slope, and it takes time and labor to negotiate for the use of the site, and the site usage fee Therefore, there is a problem that the economy is poor.

  In addition, for example, even if a subway is constructed in the deep underground and a new station is established to transfer to an existing station on the ground, the distance between the existing station on the ground and the new station in the deep underground However, there are problems such as a heavy physical burden and a long time for changing because it is necessary to move on a long distance while changing escalators many times. In addition, the use of escalators and long-distance movements are difficult for elderly people and handicapped persons such as disabled persons, which may cause them to refrain from going out.

  Furthermore, if you dislike long-distance travel and stop transferring at these stations and increase the number of people using other stations, the flow of people around these stations may decrease, leading to a decline in the town. There was a problem.
