旅客鉄道を用いた物流の総合的調査に基づく鉄道と物流双方の持続可能性に関する一検討

抄録

Modal shifts to rail are attracting attention in the logistics sector as a way of addressing global warming and workforce shortages. Besides, maintaining transport is a challenge for passenger railways, particularly in rural areas. Logistics using passenger rail has the potential for railways to expand their use as well as for logistics to expand the range of logistics hubs and routes using passenger stations. The authors have surveyed the present state of logistics implementation by passenger railways in order to explore the development of logistics using passenger railways. The paper reports on the results of the analysis of these results, including the type of railways operating logistics and the type of logistics implementation, such as the establishment of own services or cooperation with other operators.
