N-shopping: Towards an autonomous online shopping system for NEOM megacity

A new way of living leads to new and advanced developmental area of innovation. In this paper, an online shopping system design for NEOM megacity project is proposed. The system is based on the use of self-regulating vans and middle stores. Self-regulating vans are employed for delivering the customer orders from different stores passing by the middle stores that appear as common intersecting points. The advantage of doing so is to speed up the delivery process by assigning the customer order to more than one van following the concept of relay race tracking. The relative issues to be addressed here is mainly an initial system design with each of its components being discussed based on the NEOM vision.
