城市货运共享枢纽的问题从20世纪70年代开始受到关注，当时的情况是，随着城市间货物运输活动的效率不断提高，城市地区内通过货车进行货物运输的成本却大幅增加。早期研究建议建立城市货运共享枢纽，使货车运输企业能够将零散的货物集中起来。过去几年，一方面为了满足承运商装卸货物的需求，另一方面为了给货车司机在市中心周边提供一个交通高峰期轮候的场所，“城市港”的概念开始受到越来越多的关注。本文采用最新获取的调查数据，运用需求的有序概率模型来考察货运公司对此类设施是否感兴趣。“,”Developing reverse logistics is an important means to achieve low-carbon economy, and stakeholder theory, game theory, sustainable development theory, recycling economy theory, externality theory and ecological economics are its solid theoretical foundation. At this stage the problems in the development of reverse logistics include inadequate laws and regulations, low level of technology, uncertainty of supply and demand and inadequate network, which seriously hindered the development of reverse logistics. Safeguard mechanisms including government, business and citizen participation, adequate laws and regulations, advanced technologies, and efficient incentive measures should be established to promote the healthy and orderly development of reverse logistics.
