This methodology is applied to analysis of goods movement in Tokyo Metropolitan Area in 1972 and in 1982. It is found that this methodology is able to identify an indirect effect caused by the additional construction of facilities on urban goods moovement. This model is also applied to demand forecast in 1982 by using data in 1972 to clear the direction of improvement of the model.
