There are some countermeasures against cargo shifting. But the quantitative evaluation of
cargo motions in the oscillating force and the effect of the countermeasures are not cleared.
This paper deals with the characteristics of cargo shifting in response to seismic motion and
external oscillating forces occurring transportation. Some basic physical model tests using actual palletized corrugated cartons are carried out, and complex movements under one dimensional horizontal inertia force are shown by the results. New shifting parameters of the palletized cargo are proposed. The quantitative displacement of cargo shifting can be indicated by the area load movement parameter which is derived from the size of a corrugated carton and unit load size．
