Seen a conveyor belt before? you probably haven't seen one like this. Japan wants to bolt a 300 mile long freight moving conveyor belt to replace trucks on the road.

In a bold move to revolutionize logistics and reduce congestion, Japan is
planning to build a massive, 300-mile long conveyor belt system to
transport goods across the country. Dubbed the "Automated Transport
System" (ATS), this innovative solution aims to replace traditional trucks
and trains, significantly reducing traffic on the roads and decreasing
emissions.

Imagine a continuous ribbon of steel, stretching from Tokyo to Osaka,
where containers are loaded onto vehicles that can move at speeds of up to
20 km/h. With no need for drivers or tracks, this cutting-edge technology
promises to streamline supply chains, increase efficiency, and enhance
safety.

    The eating noises at the start of the video turned me right off 😥
  • This sounds like one of those ideas that you'd need to put into practice to really tell if it's a good idea. I can see the advantages of having two mega hubs or multiple large hubs in both cities the conveyors go through, but you'd have to do a lot of math to actually know with certainty if it's a better idea then just building a cargo rail line connecting two yards and hubs at each end.

    I still fail to see how it could be a better option than just using trains.
  • It doesn't sound completely stupid, but I wonder what happens if it stalls. If a road gets blocked you can take a detour, if the conveyor stops it ALL stops. And there are a lot of failure points across 300 miles running 24/7 with a heavy load.

    Me with my continent-spanning conveyor belt in Factorio ... hmm, could work.
  • @shinigami4825
    U mean free transportation ?? Like I just have to step on the conveyor belt
  • Two conveyers needed, one each way, how long a travel time from end to end? when so start to think about it carefully........ it does not work out.
  • Couldn’t do that in America. If you get to close to certain neighborhoods, that would be where everything would exit the conveyor belt

    Not at all interested in watching you eat. CYA
