Abstract

Cooperation reinforcement with maintenance of a road network corresponding to upsizing of a trucks and marine transportation / aviation is indispensable to support international distribution. It is necessary to accuratelyevaluate the roles and functions of the present road network in international distribution in order to effectively allocate limited funds for road maintenance. This study examines a method of estimating freight flows on the road by focusing on international marine containers whose importance has increased in recent years due to rising imports of final goods. The study then uses the method to evaluate the roles and functions of roads from anumber of perspectives: the number of trucks by export and import, the weight of the freight, and the unit price of the freight. Tokyo and YokohamaBays in Japan were evaluated in this study. For the covering abstract seeITRD E139491.
