Description

Global logistics system

Technical field

The technical solution relates to the field of transport, in particular to logistics systems using underground and surface space to form a convenient transport infrastructure, transport goods and move people by automated and controlled systems.

Prior Art

Economic development directly affects the congestion of existing transport systems. With the development of industry, new and new ways of organizing the transportation of goods arose. One of the turns in the development of transport systems was, for example, the invention by Malcolm McLean of unified containers for piece cargo, which are highly mobile, which made it possible to significantly simplify the transportation procedure and avoid wasting time during numerous transfers of cargo from one mode of transport to another. However, modern realities, the rapid growth in the number of urban residents, the development of a culture of consumption and the wide distribution of all kinds of delivery services, caused, among other things, by restrictions on the movement of people associated with abrupt changes in the epidemiological situation, dictate new requirements for the optimization of transport systems. Road infrastructures designed and built many years ago are not able to cope with the current load caused by an increase in the flow of goods and passengers and an increase in the demand for the transport of goods - raw materials, semi-finished products, finished products, as well as industrial and municipal waste. The high congestion of urban roads causes problems associated not only with traffic jams, but also with ensuring safety vehicle passengers and pedestrians, and also negatively affects the image of the city and its functionality. This causes problems and limitations in terms of flexible organization of delivery times and reduces the efficiency of their implementation. Moreover, the dominance of the delivery of goods by road transport, which is one of the main sources of carbon dioxide emissions and environmental pollution, has a huge impact on the environmental situation. Considering the problems of climate change and global warming facing the world community, cities need a more environmentally friendly mode of transport that meets modern requirements and optimization of transport and logistics systems.

A fast and environmentally friendly alternative is pipe transport, the introduction of which has been attempted at different times. For example, in 2008 a research project called "Foodtubes" was started at the University of Oxford. The goal of the project is the development and production of energy-saving capsules for transporting food products. Another tunneling project, "CargoCap", was carried out at the Ruhr University with the support of the German Ministry of Innovation, Science, Research and Technology North Rhine-Westphalia. The main idea of the above projects is to replace ground vehicles with capsules that will operate in an underground pipeline network connecting manufacturers with warehouses, distributors, distribution centers, shopping centers, etc. The implementation of these projects should not only lead to a reduction in road congestion, but also reduce carbon dioxide emissions, contributing to the prevention of global warming. However, the above solutions do not completely solve the problem. Capsules are not multifunctional and can only move through pipes or tunnels of the transport system, which limits the possibility of delivering cargo directly to each customer, regardless of its location and necessitates the use of another mode of transport, minimizing the effect of introducing a tunnel system.

Pipeline high-speed transport systems are widely known from the prior art, consisting of sealed pipes with low air pressure, inside which capsules with cargo or passengers move. In particular, the concept of "Hyperloop (Hyperloop)" is known, presented by Elon Musk and published by the joint team from Tesla and SpaceX [https://www.tesla.com/sites/default/files/blog_images/hyperloop-alpha.pdf]. The system consists of sealed pipes with capsules for transporting passengers or goods in them, which are transported at both low and high speeds along the entire length of the pipes. The capsules are supported by an air cushion of high-lift compressed air. Acceleration occurs due to linear magnetic accelerators fixed at stations built in different places along the entire length of the pipes. To transmit momentum through linear magnetic accelerators, rotors are located on the capsules. Passengers can enter and exit at stations located along the length of the pipes or at their ends.

Also known is the transport system according to patent US10286927 (B1) "Tube transportation systems using a gaseous mixture of air and helium (Pipeline transport system using a gaseous mixture of air and helium)" (IPC B61B13/10; B61C15/04; B65G51/04; published May 14, 2019). The pipeline transport system is designed to transport passengers or cargo in a capsule along a predetermined route. The system contains a plurality of vacuum pipes located along a predetermined route, where each pipe is maintained at a pressure below atmospheric pressure, and means for maintaining inside each pipe a gaseous composition containing a mixture of helium and air, where the percentage of helium and air in the mixture is selected based on a predetermined value of power and leakage rate from the pipe.

The above technical solutions have a number of significant disadvantages. Such transport systems are time-consuming to maintain and repair; in the event of a sudden stop, the capsule will be difficult to move again, which will lead to a long downtime of the entire system as a whole. Also, the pipeline system has a design that is difficult for practical implementation, which slows down its expansion, and tight closed capsules are inconvenient for passengers. Unlike the described transport systems, the claimed technical solution contains an easy-to-build system of tunnels and vehicles that can be used both for transporting goods and further expanding the system, as well as a module for moving people, which has a living and working space formed in its body, equipped with a computer and communication facilities, a massage and exercise system and allowing passengers to move comfortably to their destination.

From the prior art, a transport system is known according to patent RU2520983(C2) "UNITSKY'S TRANSPORT SYSTEM" (IPC B61B 5/02; B61B 13/00; E01B 25/00; published on 06/27/2014). The transport system contains two main rail threads installed on the base and supports in the form of prestressed power bodies enclosed in housings with mating rolling surfaces for wheeled vehicles forming a track, and two auxiliary threads located below at another level in the form of prestressed power bodies enclosed in corps. The main and auxiliary threads on the spans between adjacent supports are interconnected by means of zigzag-oriented rod elements forming triangles with the main and auxiliary threads. Left and right threads interconnected at each level by transverse bridges. Housings of auxiliary threads are made with rolling surfaces for wheeled vehicles forming a rail track. Zigzag-oriented rod elements are placed on the outer sides of the main and auxiliary threads. Transverse jumpers are installed in the junctions of the rod elements and threads. The vertical planes of thread support on the supports are aligned with the planes of placement of zigzag-oriented rod elements. In the well-known Yunitskiy transport system, wheeled vehicles can only travel along rail lines, which makes it impossible to deliver goods to the customer directly at his location. The location of the rail threads on high supports makes it difficult to carry out maintenance and repair in the event of a breakdown. Also, wheeled vehicles are not equipped to carry passengers. Unlike this technical solution, the claimed global logistics system contains vehicles that do not have restrictions on the surface for movement, because. contain both rail wheels and wheels with tires for movement outside the tunnels. They are also made with the possibility of attaching a module for moving people, which allows for passenger transportation.

A transport module is known according to patent RU2201368 "HIGH-SPEED TRANSPORT MODULE OF THE UNITSKY TRANSPORT SYSTEM" (MPK B62D 35/00; published on 03/27/2003). The high-speed transport module contains a streamlined body with conjugated spherical front, drop-shaped middle and cone-shaped rear parts. At the same time, the rear cone-shaped part of the body is made with generatrices having an alternating curvature, and on the upper surface of the body there are two symmetrical longitudinal sections with a negative curvature of the surface, conjugated with the side and upper surfaces of the body. To reduce the coefficient of aerodynamic resistance and increase dynamic stability, certain ratios of the dimensions of the body elements and the form of their implementation are proposed. The module allows, with increased dynamic stability, to improve the energy performance of the transport system. At the same time, the module is designed only for movement on rail tracks, in particular, as part of the Yunitskiy transport system, which limits its scope: passengers often have to use another mode of transport to get to their destination, which generally increases the time spent on the entire way to the destination. In contrast to the well-known technical solution, the modules of the claimed global system are universal and can be moved on any vehicle, because contain means of attachment to vehicles, made in the form of a fastening unit for fastening on the platforms of railway vehicles and/or on the platforms of air vehicles and/or on the platforms of water vehicles and/or on the platforms of motor vehicles. In addition, the modules for moving people are equipped with a life support system that combines air conditioning and heating systems, power supply, waste disposal, and have a living and working space formed in their housing, equipped with a computer and communication facilities, a massage and exercise system, which allows providing users with comfortable conditions. and effective pastime during the trip.

A pipeline transport system and a transport locomotive are known according to patent RU2630274(C1) "PIPELINE TRANSPORT SYSTEM AND PIPELINE LOCOMOTIVE" (IPC B61B 13/00; B65G 51/00; published 09/06/2017), selected as the closest analogue. The pipeline transport system comprises pipelines having a guide channel for rolling along it. driving wheel of the pipeline locomotive, and current-carrying busbars for supplying power to the pipeline locomotive, distribution units, each of which is located at one end of each pipeline for loading the transport container into the pipeline locomotive and unloading the transport container from the pipeline locomotive, a control unit for supplying power to the current-carrying busbars to the pipeline locomotive during its movement in the pipeline and for communication with the pipeline locomotive through busbars. The pipeline locomotive comprises a frame for receiving a transport container, support rollers on the frame for rolling along the inner surface of the pipeline; drive wheel on one end side of the frame for engagement with the pipeline guide channel; electric motor on the frame with a drive to the drive wheel; current collectors on the outer surface of the frame for contact with the current-carrying busbars of the pipeline. However, the aforementioned locomotives have a limited number of applications, in particular they do not allow the transport of passengers. And since locomotives can only move on railroads, the ability to deliver cargo depends on the availability of railroads of the transport system near the customer's location. Ultimately, without the involvement of additional vehicles or courier services, which will significantly increase the delivery time, delivery of goods directly to the door of the customer's apartment, to the office or its short-term location is impossible. Unlike this transport system, the claimed system allows the delivery of cargo to the customer without the involvement of additional vehicles, regardless of its position and the availability of rail tracks, because the claimed logistics system includes vehicles having both rail wheels and wheels with tires for movement outside the tunnels of the transport system. It also contains modules for moving people, having means of attachment to vehicles, made with the possibility of attaching modules to vehicles for their movement by means of vehicles.

Disclosure of invention

The objective of the proposed technical solution is to create a global logistics system that ensures the rapid movement of goods and passengers, characterized by versatility and meets the needs of the modern consumer in comfort and versatility. The technical result is to reduce the time of movement of goods and movement of passengers, while maintaining comfortable conditions of movement.

The claimed technical result is achieved by the fact that in the global logistics system, which includes modules for moving people, equipped with a life support system that combines air conditioning and heating systems, power supply, waste disposal, a cargo transportation system containing vehicles, interconnected tunnels connecting points of receipt and dispatch of cargo, rails located inside the tunnels for moving vehicles and for supplying power to them, a control and monitoring unit for vehicles and a power supply for supplying power to them when moving through tunnels, a system for tracking the location of vehicles and modules for moving people, when In this case, the vehicles are made with the ability to transport cargo containers and contain a body, a controller, an electric motor, rail wheels connected to the electric motor, current collectors and a battery, a brake system, tunnels have a section in the form based on a rectangle, the internal parameters of which correspond to the external parameters of the vehicles, and the vehicles additionally have wheels with tires for moving outside tunnels, and also contain means for attaching to the module for moving people, made with the ability to attach the module for its transportation by vehicles. The tunnels may be located above ground and/or underground and/or on the ground. Underground and / or ground stations and / or a module for moving people can act as points of receipt and departure of cargo. The vehicle has a section in the shape of a rectangle. The vehicle contains current collectors connected to the electric motor, made with the possibility of contact with the rail for supplying power to the vehicles, a battery for autonomous operation of the vehicle outside the tunnels, a location determination device. The rail wheels of the vehicles are located on the same axle as the wheels with tires and are attached to their side part. Wheels for moving vehicles outside tunnels may have pneumatic tires. The unmanned vehicle control system may contain a control unit with embedded software, including machine vision, neural networks and equipped with lidar, radar, cameras, position sensors and a navigation system. The means for connecting to the module for moving people is made in the form of a mounting unit located on the vehicle body. Cargo containers that the vehicle can carry may contain ID tags with information about the cargo and its recipient. The height and width of the cargo container that the vehicle can carry is 220-230mm and the length is 445-455mm. The module for moving people contains an automatic control unit and manual controls, a battery, a location device, a housing and a living and working space formed in it, equipped with a computer and communication facilities. The module has a means of attachment to the vehicle, made with the possibility of attaching the module to to the vehicle for its movement by means of the vehicle, and contains a node for docking with the vehicle for receiving cargo containers. The module for moving people is configured to transmit the coordinates of its location to the vehicle for docking to it and transferring the cargo container during the movement of the module. The module for moving people may contain associated with the controls of the engine and its own chassis with wheels mounted on it. The means for connecting the module for moving people to the vehicle can be made in the form of a fastening unit with the possibility of fastening on the platforms of railway vehicles and/or on the platforms of air vehicles and/or on the platforms of water vehicles and/or on the platforms of motor vehicles. The module for moving people can be made with the possibility of monitoring and measuring the medical parameters of the passenger, additionally it can contain simulators, a massage system.

Interconnected tunnels located above and/or underground and/or on the ground connect the points of receipt and departure of cargo, which can be used as underground and ground stations, as well as a module for moving people. Inside the tunnels there are rails for moving vehicles and supplying power to them. Thus, a separate transport structure is created that directly connects the points of receipt and departure, does not depend on the general flow of transport and city traffic, and allows you to quickly deliver goods without additional time spent on downtime in traffic jams or bypassing them. Moreover, when carrying out the transportation of goods using the declared transportation system, the overall traffic congestion in general will be significantly reduced, since all transportations related to the delivery of everyday items, which account for more than 70% of of the total traffic flow will be carried out not by roads, but by tunnels using an environmentally friendly electric mode of transport.

The tunnels have a rectangular cross-section, which is more durable than other shapes, which allows to increase its service life, avoid additional time costs caused by the need for repairs and suspension of the system.

A rectangle-based shape refers to a geometric figure based on a rectangle whose corners may be rounded and one or more sides of which may be curved.

Correspondence of the internal parameters of the tunnels with the external parameters of vehicles having a section in the form of a rectangle makes it possible to use the entire usable area of the tunnel for the transport of goods. This allows the tunnel to accommodate a vehicle with a cargo container that accommodates the optimal amount of goods without the need to split the cargo into several vehicles and cargo containers and, as a result, prevent an increase in the load of the tunnel and slow down the speed of movement through it.

The system for tracking vehicles and modules for moving people and the presence of a location device allows them to continuously monitor their location, identify the nearest vehicle available for sending cargo and build the best route, while avoiding their excessive accumulation at one point, which significantly reduces delivery time.

To realize the purpose, namely the movement and transportation of goods, the claimed system contains a control and monitoring unit for vehicles and a power supply for supplying power to them when driving through tunnels, and the vehicle is made with the possibility of transporting cargo containers and contains a body, a controller, an electric motor, rail wheels connected to the electric motor, current collectors connected to the electric motor, made with the possibility of contacting the rail to supply power to vehicles, and a brake system.

The use of cargo containers for placing goods in them greatly simplifies the process of their delivery and movement from one vehicle to another, reduces the time of loading and unloading, in addition, the use of containers allows for greater safety of the cargo.

The height and width of cargo containers can be 220-230 mm, and the length is 445-455 mm, which are universal sizes that allow you to accommodate the optimal amount of goods without complicating the transportation process, because. containers are convenient for grouping among themselves and can be placed in most vehicles, in particular in the declared one.

Freight containers contain ID tags with information about the cargo and its recipient, which facilitates the identification of cargo and cargo containers, eliminates the risk of their loss or sending to the wrong address, thereby speeding up the process of receiving the cargo by the customer.

The claimed vehicle has a battery for autonomous operation, wheels with tires, including pneumatic ones, and an unmanned control system, in particular a control unit with built-in software, including machine vision, a neural network and equipped with lidar, radar, cameras, position sensors and a system navigation, allows him to move outside the tunnels and deliver goods in a continuous mode directly to customers without the need for an additional change in modes of transport and excluding as much as possible the involvement of human labor, while significantly reducing the delivery time.

The rail wheels of vehicles can be located on the same axle as the wheels with tires and attached to their side.

Both the claimed vehicle and the module for moving people contain means of attachment to each other, made with the possibility of attaching the module for its transportation by vehicles. In this case, the attachment means can be made in the form of a mounting unit located on the vehicle body. Thus, the need for additional time spent on charging the batteries of the vehicle is eliminated, since when the battery charge of one vehicle is completely used up, the module can quickly attach to another, already charged vehicle and continue its movement without interruption.

The people moving module contains an automatic control unit and manual controls, which allows the user to change the type of control depending on the situation on the road and quickly reach their destination.

It is possible to have associated with the controls of the engine and its own chassis with wheels installed on it. In this case, the module can move independently and the user does not need to waste time waiting and searching for a vehicle to move it. And the built-in battery is used to start the engine and ensure the operation of all module systems.

The means for connecting the module to vehicles can be made in the form of a fastening unit with the possibility of fastening on the platforms of railway vehicles and/or on the platforms of air vehicles and/or on the platforms of water vehicles and/or on the platforms of motor vehicles, therefore the user is not limited in the choice of the method of movement, including the use of modern high-speed vehicles. At the same time, the user significantly saves time already at the stage of preparing for a trip or trip, because he is not burdened with the need to collect luggage, since the module is already equipped with everything necessary, including a life support system that combines air conditioning and heating systems, power supply, waste disposal. Since a living and working space is formed in the module case, equipped with a computer and means of communication, it is ensured that the user is comfortable moving not only over long distances during long-term trips, but also effective pastime during short-term trips. Moreover, the module for moving people additionally contains simulators, a massage system, and is configured to monitor and measure the passenger's medical parameters. Thus, the module is not only a means of transportation, but also a multifunctional living space that meets all the needs of a modern person and allows the user, along with the effective performance of work tasks, to monitor their health and have a good rest.

The module contains a node for docking with the declared vehicle for receiving cargo containers, a location determination device and is configured to transmit its location coordinates to the vehicle for docking to it and transferring the cargo container during module movement. Thus, to transfer the load to the module, it does not need to stop or slow down, which reduces the time spent by the user to move to the end point.

Embodiments of the invention The following explains the implementation of the claimed global logistics system. The global logistics system includes modules for moving people (Smart Mobile Space) and a cargo transportation system containing vehicles (cybergopher).

The cargo transportation system allows consumers to order goods, send and receive goods directly at home, at work or on the road, as well as, for example, send gifts, dry cleaning, etc.

The system is made in the form of interconnected tunnels connecting the points of receipt and departure of cargo. The tunnel system can unite, for example, different cities or remote and central areas of the same city, allowing the use of underground and elevated stations, store warehouses and other storage facilities, public service organizations, office and residential buildings, cafes and restaurants, etc., creating a developed underground and surface infrastructure. Options are possible when the tunnel penetrates the building or is connected directly to it, to each entrance or apartment of a residential building. Also, the tunnel can pass above the ground on overpasses or be located on the ground in the form of a curb.

In the preferred embodiment, the tunnels are made of a shaped pipe made of a composite material having a section in the form of a rectangle with rounded corners and curved walls. Tunnels can be of different heights and widths to accommodate one or more interconnected vehicles, in particular 40 cm tunnels for transporting small loads, 80 cm for transporting larger loads, etc.

Inside the tunnels there are rails for moving vehicles through them and for supplying power to them, in particular, the rails can be located on the tunnels available at the bottom ledges in such a way that when the vehicle enters the tunnel, its rail wheels stand on the rails and move along them, and the wheels with tires do not touch either the rails or the bottom surface of the tunnels. In this case, versions are possible when the rail for supplying power to vehicles and the rail for movement are one rail, as well as options that imply the presence of separate rails for movement and a separate current-carrying rail.

Delivery of goods is carried out by means of vehicles made with the ability to transport cargo containers corresponding to them in size (UNIBOX), while the vehicle can pull cargo containers along with it, place them in its body or on it. At the same time, cargo containers are made of shock-resistant and frost-resistant material and contain ID tags, for example, in the form of a QR code, bar code or in another form, with information about the cargo, its recipient, sender, addresses and other necessary information. In particular, the height and width of the freight container can be 220-230mm, and the length is 445-455mm. These parameters are universal and are used in the manufacture of most shopping baskets for supermarkets, as they are optimal and allow you to contain essential goods, including groceries, household goods and essential goods. This example does not limit the options for using a freight container, it is possible to move the container by different means of transport, in particular, by road, air, water transport, etc.

In a preferred embodiment, the vehicle is capable of moving at a speed of 40-60 km/h and contains a housing, at least one electric motor, a controller, a location device, in particular a GPS tracker, and rail wheels associated with the electric motor, located in the lower part of the housing. The external parameters of the hull correspond to the internal parameters of the tunnels. Execution allowed hulls of a rectangular shape or a shape based on it, a streamlined shape, with rounded corners or any other.

On the outer surface of the body or the wheels of the vehicle there are current collectors, for example, rod collectors or any other known from the prior art, connected to the electric motor and made with the possibility of contact with the rail to supply power to the vehicles when they move through the tunnels.

The vehicle has the ability to move not only on rails, but also on ground surfaces. To do this, it contains wheels with tires, in particular pneumatic or made of polyurethane. Rail wheels of vehicles can be located on the same axle with wheels with tires and attached to their side, for example, with bolts.

The electric motor of the vehicle can be made as a separate unit and installed in the housing, both all the wheels of the vehicle and only the driving ones can be connected to it. In addition, the electric motor can be built into the wheels, in particular in the form of a well-known wheel motor. At the same time, the power supply of the electric motor in any of these options is possible, both from the current-carrying rail through the current collectors, and from the battery, when driving outside the tunnels.

The vehicle may be equipped to operate in both user driven and autonomous modes. In this case, any unmanned control system known from the prior art is used, which may contain a control unit with embedded software, including machine vision, neural networks and equipped with a lidar for recognizing remote objects using optical waves, a radar for recognizing remote objects using radio waves, cameras, position sensors and navigation system To move larger loads, vehicles can be combined with each other, for example, the delivery of a cargo container can be carried out by two connected vehicles (cyberdog).

For attaching and moving the people-moving module, the vehicle comprises an attachment means, in particular a fastening unit, which is, for example, a bracket in the form of a plate with a hook, located on the upper surface of the vehicle. The mating part of the node can be made on the bottom surface of the module. Other mounting options are also possible, for example, the attachment means can be located on the side or bottom of the vehicle, and its counterpart on the side or top of the module, respectively.

The people movement module itself, along with the first living space, the place of residence, and the second living space, the place of work, is a versatile third living space for movement, meeting all the needs of the user for an efficient and comfortable pastime during the trip.

The module contains an automatic control unit and manual controls, a battery, a device for determining its location. The module can be equipped with a life support system that integrates air conditioning and heating systems, in particular air purification and climate control systems, as well as power supply and waste disposal systems.

The building contains a living space with an armchair for sleeping and relaxing and a workspace equipped with a computer and means of communication, including access to the Internet, a VR (Virtual reality) system, a training system, a virtual assistant, a gaming and multimedia system. Also in the module can be placed simulators and a massage system or a chair that combines these systems, as well as equipment for monitoring and measuring the medical parameters of the passenger, such as pressure, heart rate, temperature, etc. However, the above examples do not limit the options for functional areas that can be formed in the module. The module is configured to dock a vehicle with a cargo container to it, including during the movement of the module, and contains a node for docking with a vehicle for receiving cargo containers. It can be made receiver cargo containers, for example, in the form of an additional compartment placed in the bottom or side of the module and connected to the armrest of the chair to deliver the cargo directly into the hands of the recipient.

In addition to movement using the declared vehicles, the module can move both on platforms of railway, overpass, air, sea and river vehicles, as well as on Tesla 3 platforms, Hyperloop capsules or other universal platforms, and independently, for which it may contain associated engine controls and its own chassis with wheels mounted on it.

The global logistics system functions as follows.

The cargo transportation system provides targeted delivery of goods to consumers, for example, food, household goods and a number of other everyday items that consumers regularly purchase. The user orders the product through the order management system by, for example, a phone call, using software over the network or in another way. Third-party delivery services and providers of services and goods can be connected to the order management system to carry out delivery using the declared transport system. The logistics center, where a power supply unit is installed that supplies power to vehicles and a command and control unit that coordinates the operation of the entire system, ensures the collection and processing of information on the quantity, range and delivery time of various goods to consumers, sorting of goods and the formation of targeted shipments, control and managing the movement of goods from the supplier to the consumer.

The command and control unit determines the optimal route and selects the nearest free vehicle that delivers the order in a cargo container from a store, warehouse or any other location or production of goods through an extensive network of tunnels to the logistics center. Then, an ID tag is attached, applied or assigned to the cargo container with information about the cargo and its recipient, including the order number and delivery address, and vehicles through the tunnels deliver it to the customer. At the same time, vehicles can leave the tunnels and move, for example, along house territories, entrances of houses, halls of buildings, so delivery can be carried out both to the cell of the sorting point located near the customer’s location, and directly to the customer’s location, office or door apartments. After the shipment is formed, the customer is sent a QR code corresponding to the cell of the sorting point to which the goods will be delivered. With the help of the system, goods can be transported between stores or companies and consumers or customers. In particular, to reduce road congestion, food products from supermarkets can be delivered to consumers through a system of tunnels.

The vehicle is multifunctional and versatile, so, among other things, it can be used for everyday household needs, such as garbage collection. In this case users pack the garbage, place it in cargo containers, which will be delivered by vehicles through a network of tunnels to waste collection and recycling points or landfills. Thus, the transport system allows you to effectively implement the life cycle of consumption from the purchase of goods to their use and waste disposal.

Also, vehicles can be used in the construction of a cargo transportation system, namely the expansion of the network of tunnels. They can move building materials and workpieces through existing tunnels and dock new tunnels to them.

In addition, the vehicle can exit the tunnel and transport the module to move people.

In this case, the module can be moved by four vehicles, being fixed, for example, on their upper surface with the help of a fastening unit, thereby acting as the wheels of the module. However, other variations are also possible, such as attaching the module to the side of vehicles. The attachment means can also be located on the lower surface of the vehicle with the mating part on the upper surface of the module and used to move the module while the vehicle is moving through tunnels located above the ground on overpasses. In this case, a hole is made in the lower wall of the tunnel to enable the module to be attached, and the module is suspended from the vehicle. At the same time, another tunnel for moving a vehicle with a cargo container can be located above the tunnel for moving vehicles with a suspended module.

The module can be controlled both manually and unmanned.

During the trip, the user in the module can use it as an office and carry out their work or study tasks from the internal computer, and as a living space, relax in a massage chair, relax and sleep, play video games, do physical activity using the built-in simulators. The ability to attach to vehicles allows the module to move not only on the declared vehicles, but also on another mode of transport. For example, the claimed vehicles can place the module in the cabin of an aircraft or on water transport. In this case, after the module is placed, the vehicles return to the tunnels, and at the point of arrival of the module, its movement from the aircraft or water transport to the final destination is organized by vehicles located nearby. Thus, the user can carry out the movements he needs, in particular between cities, countries and continents, without interrupting his main activity.

Another feature of the declared vehicles and the module for moving people is the possibility of delivering goods to the passengers of the module during its movement. For example, when ordering coffee, the user can get it right on the way to work without having to stop and drop the module. After the order is placed, the control and monitoring unit will receive the coordinates of the movements of a particular module and, in accordance with them, will direct the vehicle, which, having docked to the module while driving, will deliver the order, while the passenger can receive it, for example, through the compartment in the seat armrest. In the same way, the delivery of goods from the module to any point can be carried out. In particular, if it is necessary to send tests to the hospital or to dry-clean clothes, the user, being in the module, loads things into a cargo container, then the vehicle docked to the module will pick it up and deliver it to the destination.

Industrial Applicability The global logistics system creates a developed universal infrastructure that allows not only to optimize the movement of transport, ensure the continuous transportation of goods, but also makes it possible to significantly improve the quality of life of the population, creating conditions for comfortable and fast movement and long-distance travel.

It is obvious to a person skilled in the art that the given example of the implementation of the system does not limit the scope of the claimed solution. Other embodiments are possible within the scope of the claimed formula.
