This study assesses the effect of cooperative delivery system adopted in Marunouchi district in February 2002. A microsimulation analysis was performed to quantify the effect of the said system on freight vehicles, environment and working hours of labors. The present form of delivery system (no cooperation) was also compared to the adopted system in order to measure their differences and identify which one is more beneficial. As a result, the cooperative delivery system shows a far desirable result compared to the present system. The number of freight vehicles needed for delivery was reduced and there was a significant improvement on the loading factor of each vehicle participating in the new system. There was also a substantial reduction on staff working time who joined the cooperative delivery system.
