Characteristics of Logistics Facilities Allocation, Size and Truck Generation by Tokyo Metropolitan Area Urban Freight Survey


Logistics facilities should be considered in transportation plans and city plans because they generate/attract huge volumes of truck traffic. We utilized the 5th Tokyo Metropolitan Area Urban Freight Survey (TMAUFS) conducted in 2013 to analyze the relationship among land-use pattern, transportation demand, and transportation networks. This paper focuses on the questionnaire-survey to establishments and truck probe survey combined with the 1-km2 mesh land-use data of the Japanese Statistics Bureau. Data from the TMAUFS are aggregated following a description of logistics facility allocation patterns. Transition patterns of logistics facilities including factories are analyzed through a comparison of the 4th (2003) and 5th (2013) TMAUFS. Specifically, we clarify the relationship between highway-construction and location of new logistics facilities. Truck-trip-generation models are examined by fitting conventional regression models and the Tobit model for a better fit. Finally, we summarize the required future policy measures forecasted by the developed models for transportation infrastructure systems.
