本研究は、鉄道貨物輸送と低排出最終配送（電動車両、カーゴバイク等）を組み合わせた都市物流システムを提案し、経済性を評価。炭素価格の導入により道路貨物輸送のコストが増加する一方、鉄道統合モデルは相対的に安定しており、40％のモーダルシフトで月間排出量を約25％削減できることを示した。特に鉄道・自転車併用システムが最も費用対効果が高い。

This study proposes and evaluates a rail-enabled urban logistics system combining rail transport with low-emission last-mile delivery (electric vehicles, cargo bikes, etc.). Findings show that carbon pricing significantly increases road freight costs, while rail-integrated models remain stable. A 40% modal shift from road to rail reduces monthly freight emissions by about 25%. The rail-bike system is the most cost-efficient under emission trading.

📄 Abstract（原文）
The European Union has set ambitious climate goals as part of its commitment to the Paris Agreement and the European Green Deal. Urban freight transport is one of the main sources of greenhouse gas emissions, air pollution, and traffic congestion, which is a major hurdle for sustainable urban development. Despite significant policy and research interest, there are currently limited published studies that fully combine rail freight transport with low/zero-emission last-mile delivery and its comprehensive economic evaluation. This study presents and evaluates a comprehensive solution combining rail transport of inter-regional shipments with logistics micro-hubs located near the railway station and transshipping shipments through environmentally friendly last-mile delivery modes such as electric vehicles, cargo bikes, or crowdshipping. The methodology consists of applying several methods, such as operational simulation and break-even analysis, to assess the economic viability of the proposed solution, through different scenarios for the evolution of the regulatory framework (in particular, transport emission allowances). The findings indicate that carbon pricing significantly increases the cost of road regional deliveries by Heavy Goods Vehicle, while rail-integrated models demonstrate relative stability. A modal shift of 40% from road to rail reduced monthly freight emissions by approximately 25%, primarily by eliminating long-distance Heavy Goods Vehicle trips with a low-carbon rail section. Moreover, the combined rail–bike system offered the most cost-efficient and environmentally robust configuration under emission trading system conditions, reinforcing the strategic value of multimodal urban freight systems. The research provides evidence-based insights for policymakers, logistics operators, and urban planners, highlighting the role of rail-integrated, multimodal systems in shaping sustainable and resilient urban freight networks.
