本文通过对英国14个选定的城市地区的分析，探讨了道路货运活动及其与设施选址、物流管理和城市形态的关系。更好地理解这种关系将有助于规划者在做出运输和土地使用决策时。研究结果表明，几个地理，空间和土地利用因素对城市地区的货运活动有重要影响。工商业用地的使用模式会影响所生产、消费的货品种类和数量，从而影响所处理的货运总量。这也会影响货物移动的距离和具体方式。在过去十年中，与全国平均水平相比，许多选定地区的仓储增长相对较低，一些地区的仓储也出现了郊区化。这影响到前往这些设施的旅程的起点和目的地，通常会增加此类旅程的距离。在大城市地区，公路货运在内部运输中所占的比例高于小城市地区。在研究的十四个地点中，市区内的行车效率较往返市区为低，原因是市区内行车的平均载具载客量及载货率均较低。研究发现，在有主要海港和/或地理位置偏远的地区，往返城市地区的路程最长。这影响了货物的公路货运密度。运输旅程。(C)2012爱思唯尔有限公司保留所有权利。
This paper examines road freight transport activity and its relationship with facility location, logistics management and urban form through an analysis of 14 selected urban areas in the UK. Improved understanding of this relationship will assist planners when making transport and land use decisions. The findings suggest that several geographical, spatial and land use factors have important influences on freight activity in urban areas. Commercial and industrial land use patterns affect the types and quantities of goods produced, consumed, and hence the total quantity of freight transport handled. This also influences the distances over which goods are moved and by what specific mode. There has been relatively low growth in warehousing in many of the selected areas over the last decade compared to the national average as well suburbanisation of warehousing in some locations. This affects the origin and destination of journeys visiting these facilities and typically increases the distance of such journeys. A greater proportion of road freight has been shown to be lifted on internal journeys in large urban areas than in smaller ones. journeys within urban areas have been shown to be less efficient than journeys to and from the urban area in the 14 locations studied due to the much smaller average vehicle carrying capacities and lower lading factors for journeys within urban areas. The length of haul on journeys to and from urban areas studied was found to be greatest for those areas with a major seaport and/or which were geographically remote. This affects the road freight transport intensity of goods. transport journeys. (C) 2012 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
