Abstract Existing studies of urban logistics facility locations and their impacts on negative externality tend to focus on the movements of freight that start and end within a metropolitan area and overlook the role of the shipments with origin or destination outside of the urban area – external shipments – in characterizing logistics facilities. This research aims to fill such gap. Focusing on the Tokyo Metropolitan Area, we analyze locations and goods vehicle trips associated with four logistics facility groups that have different splits between intra and inter-regional trips for inbound and outbound shipments. The spatial density analysis and the location choice modeling highlight the differences in the distribution and location choice factors among those groups. The importance of trip distance minimization is more evident for the facilities that serve intra-regional shipments. Furthermore, we show that the traffic impacts of goods vehicle traffic associated with logistics facilities also differ in many ways among the above-mentioned groups. Finally, we discuss the policy insights to address their heterogeneity in the contribution to externality.

区域内和区域间运输的物流设施：空间分布、位置选择因素和外部性

摘要 现有对城市物流设施选址及其对负外部性影响的研究往往侧重于在大都市区内开始和结束的货运运动，而忽视了在城市区域之外的始发地或目的地的货物——外部货物——的作用。在表征物流设施方面。本研究旨在填补这一空白。以东京都市区为中心，我们分析了与四个物流设施组相关的位置和货车行程，这些物流设施组在入站和出站货件的区域内和区域间旅行之间有不同的划分。空间密度分析和选址建模突出了这些群体之间分布和选址因素的差异。对于为区域内运输提供服务的设施，行程距离最小化的重要性更为明显。此外，我们表明，与物流设施相关的货车交通的交通影响在上述群体中也有很多不同。最后，我们讨论了解决其对外部性贡献的异质性的政策见解。
