In Japan, a new freight transport system has been proposed to resolve those issues concerning freight transport by trucks, such as traffic congestion, environmental disruption including pollution, shortage of truck drivers, and so forth. In the proposed new freight transport system that is called Dual Mode Truck System, dual mode trucks are used which work just as a conventional truck on ordinary roads and can be automatically operated on guideways. In this paper, demand for the new system is estimated when this system would be built in Tokyo metropolitan area (the inner-city system) and on the corridor between Tokyo and Osaka that is the busiest link in Japan (the inter-city system). On the basis of the result of demand forecast, the effects on road traffic and environment are calculated.
