Abstract
The expansion of global logistics networks and growing in size of trucks cause many transportation problems in metropolitan area. Lack of capacity for large size truck, limitation of height or weight, generates “bottle neck” or “missing link” in road network. This study examined new route choice model for large size truck. It derived from the “Maximum Overlapping Model” suggested by our past research. The model can estimate the Value of Time (VOT) by assuming generalized cost function. We applied the estimated model to the future road network in Tokyo Metropolitan Area, and it was shown that the model has reasonable applicability.
