“…For logistics enterprises, the transportation of goods is at the core of their business, so accessibility plays a major role in the location decision. Highly accessible areas attract more logistics employment and logistics enterprises [35]. As production becomes increasingly dispersed, China's cargo turnover has increased by 110% from 2006 to 2016.…”

The acceleration of economic globalization and integration has led to a dramatic increase in the flow of goods worldwide and changes in the spatial location of logistics facilities. The location of logistics facilities affects not only the cost and efficiency of cargo transportation activities, but also the rational allocation of logistics resources. Recently, the two major perspectives of logistics space research-cluster (the concentration of logistics facilities and functions in geography) and sprawl (movement of facilities from the urban core to peripheral places) have received extensive attention from academia and policy makers. The evolution of logistics space is influenced by land prices, traffic accessibility, market demand, agglomeration advantages and government policies. The purpose of this study is to present a literature review of logistics space, including data sources, research methods as well as research theories, and to study the impact of logistics space from the perspective of sustainable development. The research results provide some reference for logistics space researchers and logistics facility planners, and play a role in formulating new logistics development strategies and promoting the sustainable development of logistics.

“…Oum and Park [24] proposed that the most important factors effecting the site of consolidated DCs were the geographical location, the market size, the region accessibility, and the modern logistics service level. Heuvel et al [25] pointed that the accessibility was an important factor in freight system. Good accessibility to DC could meet the demand of receivers in more markets [26].…”

The location of joint distribution center (JDC) is of great importance in urban freight system. This work aims to minimize the total cost, including the fixed cost, the transportation cost, and the penalty cost for the missed deliveries, considering the joint distribution willingness (JDW) of restaurant and the coverage radius of JDC. The integer programming model is formulated to select the optimal location of JDC and opens no more than k-JDCs. To solve the problem, an improved K-means (I-K-means) algorithm combining local search with penalty is proposed. The delivery problems obtained by freight survey from 114 restaurants in Beijing, China are taken as a case study. The formulation in this paper can reduce the cost of deliveries in restaurant industry, decrease the number of freight vehicles on road, and promote the joint distribution mode in urban freight system.

“…Hence, reduced travel time will result in more time available for both work and leisure time activities. Given assumptions on work/leisure time substitution as well as on the income effect from reduced travel times and costs, improved accessibility has a positive effect on the amount of labor that individuals are willing to supply [12].…”

Accessibility is a well-known and studied concept within the scientific literature. Good transportation accessibility is certainly an important factor in exploiting spatial potentials. The quality of transportation infrastructure in terms of capacity, travel speed, connectivity etc., determines the quality and advantage of a location relative to other locations, which is usually measured as accessibility. Increasingly overloaded transport corridors, in the context of changing transportation flows are becoming an important issue for accessibility. This Paper gives a very brief overview of which kind of transportation networks and services indicators should be used in relevant documents and in transportation planning practice. This Paper provides a comprehensive overview of the different definitions, dimensions and indicators of accessibility in the literature of those already discovered.
