Abstract

The rather inefficient state of the physical flow of goods in urban areasis examined, and a list of measures for improving the physical flow of goods in inner cities by focusing on freight transport and freight handling is presented. Measures that are being taken to develop facilities for loading and unloading goods are described including the improvement of existing distribution bases, as well as the way information technology is being used in freight transport. In particular, from the perspective of logistics, measures for using existing facilities and spaces available at transportfacilities, the provision of parking facilities for loading and unloadinggoods using existing parking lots and other spaces available at transportfacilities are discussed. The idea of providing distribution bases by using spaces available at transport facilities and elsewhere is considered along with a system for supporting efforts to streamline freight transport.
