SkyLine
Status: Completed
Current logistics models are bifurcated: Quick Commerce offers speed but is geographically limited (< 3km), while City Logistics covers range but suffers from high latency.
Hypothesis: A 3-Tier Elevated Tunnel Network (Local Loop → Zonal Feeder → City Backbone) utilizing Electric Autonomous Robots can achieve 18-minute cross-city delivery at less than 5% of current operational costs.
1. The 3-Tier Routing Architecture
To validate "End-to-End" efficiency, we simulated a 28km Cross-City Journey (e.g., Whitefield to Kengeri).
Level 3: Last Mile
0km - 1km
Small Electric Robots (Wheeled). Pickup from Street Pillar → Neighborhood Hub. Time: ~2 Mins.
Level 2: Zonal Feeder
1km - 5km
Mid-Range Carriers (60-80 km/h). Aggregates traffic from loops; feeds into City Spine. Time: ~3 Mins.
Level 1: City Backbone
5km - 20km
High-Speed Electric Pods (120+ km/h). Non-stop transit across city sectors. Time: ~6 Mins.
2. Commercial Impact
| Operational Metric | Traditional Model | SkyLine Enabled |
|---|---|---|
| Inventory Hold | High (5+ Cities) | Low (Single Hub) |
| Expansion Cost | ₹50 Lakh+ per city | ₹0 (Plug & Play) |
3. Feasibility Study: Bengaluru
| Layer | Length | Speed | Est. Cost |
|---|---|---|---|
| L1 (Backbone) | 120 km | 120 km/h | ₹150 Cr / km |
| L2 (Feeder) | 450 km | 60-80 km/h | ₹15 Cr / km |
