Nishida et al (1998) examined the possibility of an Automated Freight Transport System as an ITPS research project. Later, based on the recommendation of the cost-reduction plan of 2003, it was decided to scale-down the design-width of the Second Tomei Meishin Highway from six to four lanes. This made it possible to secure right-of-way for the new freight transport system. With this background, this research examined the practical possibility of introducing such a system along the Second Tomei Meishin Highway.
