Introduction• Thailand = Land of smile
• Economic crisis is just over and need to pick up on development
• Most of investment on transport infrastructure takes place in Bangkok
![Page 5: Development of ITS activities in Thailandpioneer.netserv.chula.ac.th/~kong/present2.pdf · Development of ITS activities in Thailand Assoc. Prof. Dr. Sorawit Narupiti Department of](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022011817/5e77ca890544ee31b45dfc22/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Big Picture of Thailand’s Land Transport
• 39% Energy consumed by transport sector
• Second largest market in 1-ton trucks
• Third largest market in 2-cycle motorcycles
• Loss of 9-51 million person-days from air pollution
• 15,176 fatalities and 43,541 casualty (1994)
• 19% of nation’s greenhouse gas emission

Bangkok• The capital of a fast growing country,
Thailand
• Greater Bangkok Area = 10 millions
• One of the world’s most famous “traffic congestion” places
• Estimated to have 165,400 million bahts (US$ 3.85 billion) loss a year

Current Deployment Status
• Many government offices are involved with transportation (and ITS)
• They plan, develop, and deploy ITS and other IT independently
• Data collection based on questionnaire

R&D
• R&D is conducted by universities – research reports/theses– Willingness to pay for ATIS (route guidance)– User acceptance to APTS (bus travel information)– Travel information system- Probe Car system
• R&D is conducted by private companies –domestic products– GPS based tracking for CVO– Navigation with digital maps

S.W.O.T.• Strengths
– Modern technologies offering benefits – Increased Efficiency– Add quality and reliability to transport services– Increase work productivity
• Weaknesses– High investment due to start from scratch– Some do not show real benefits at present– Require knowledgeable staffs
• Opportunities– Further into another advanced stage of transport system– Show indirect benefits to other sectors– Able to share and connect to other systems – Interested by many private sectors
• Threats– Technological dependence– Require skillful persons or real benefits not accrued– Technologies are misused

Key Issues• Many agencies involved in transportation
business• Inter-jurisdiction Loophole• No direct agency deals with ITS (or even
promote ITS)• High Investment• Resistance to change/accept new things• Worry on accept know-how

Transport Administration
• Current Administration involves many offices- Ministry of Transport- (Ministry of Communication and Information
Technology)- Ministry of InteriorAnd many public enterprises
• More than 10 separated agencies deal with land transport in Bangkok

• Navigation Less possible• ETC Possible but existing
not successful• Asst Safe Drive Less possible• Opt. Traffic Possible• Eff. Road Man. Less possible• Public Transp. Possible/less possible• CVO Possible• Pedestrian Less possible• Emergency Op. Less possible

Part IV --Issues on establishing
National ITS organization
![Page 36: Development of ITS activities in Thailandpioneer.netserv.chula.ac.th/~kong/present2.pdf · Development of ITS activities in Thailand Assoc.

Needs for National ITS organization establishment
Why do we need a national ITS organization?1. US – IVHS initiatives – to develop and
standardize the Road and Vehicle technologies– ITS Architecture
2. Japan – VERTIS – to be a point of contact among business units, (academia) and government– Bargaining power to the government– Unify the direction on development
![Page 37: Development of ITS activities in Thailandpioneer.netserv.chula.ac.th/~kong/present2.pdf · Development of ITS activities in Thailand Assoc.

Needs for National ITS organization establishment (cont’d)
Why do we need a national ITS organization?3. Europe – ERTICO – point of contact among
countries, to collaborate on development of ITS4. Korea5. Singapore6. Taiwan7. Thailand/Philippines ??????
Countries successful in establishing ITS society must first have strong determination in utilizing advanced technologies in transportation (Public&Private) !!!

Model on National ITS organization
Public Private
Academia
A non-profit organization
![Page 39: Development of ITS activities in Thailandpioneer.netserv.chula.ac.th/~kong/present2.pdf · Development of ITS activities in Thailand Assoc. Prof. Dr. Sorawit Narupiti Department of](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022011817/5e77ca890544ee31b45dfc22/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
Purpose of ITS organization (1)1. To promote the use of advanced technologies
in developing transportation in country (private <-acad.->public)
Public Private
Academia
Academia = Initiator or Approval on technologiesPublic and Private agency = implementer
![Page 40: Development of ITS activities in Thailandpioneer.netserv.chula.ac.th/~kong/present2.pdf · Development of ITS activities in Thailand Assoc.

Purpose of ITS organization (2)2. To accrue the development of advanced
technologies through R&D (acad.->public/private)
Public Private
Academia
Academia = “Think tank” and R&D

Purpose of ITS organization (3)3. To build up the mechanism for communicating
between Public and Private sector
Public Private
Academia
ITS organization = Point of contact and information exchange

Who will organize the national ITS organization?
1. Should be a new “neutral” organization2. If not, can be organized under (Thai case)
1. Engineering Institute of Thailand2. Transportation Society3. National Committee on Transportation (or IT)
![Page 45: Development of ITS activities in Thailandpioneer.netserv.chula.ac.th/~kong/present2.pdf · Development of ITS activities in Thailand Assoc.

Who will participate in the ITS organization?
1. Private companies who do business in ITS• Do we have a lot of them in the country?
2. Academic• For research grant or training?• Or contribution to the society?
3. Government Organizations• Are they now interested in developing
transportation system using ITS?• Are they willing to assist the ITS business (in any
possible way)?

Potentials on establishing ITS organization
Things to be pondered:1. Most ITS organizations survive by contribution from
members?• Will there be enough members to survive?• High membership fees = high expectation from business
2. Does the country have policy to advance transportation system by ITS technologies• Willing to spend a big budget on ITS?• Will help business (by law, promotion, etc)?• Can the country develop her own technologies?

Story on establishing ITS Thailand
1. Encouraged by ITS Japan since 1999• Visit, Promote on technical support (as mother
organization in the region)2. Contact to all parties involved• Government offices – not interested (some of
them have conflicts in authorization on ITS activities and Lack of budget
• Private companies – uncertain on the benefits they will gain after having ITS Thailand
• Academic – interested but presently have very small in the number of experts

Story on establishing ITS Thailand (con’t)
3. Responsible agency on establishing ITS Thailand • TSTS (academic group under EASTS) -- no• Engineering Institute of Thailand – may be• Private Association – may be but questionable
4. Main Obstacles:• No party wants to make commitment – especially
government offices since they do not see a clear benefits for them
• No one wants to take a lead (in responsibility) in establishing ITS Thailand
• Benefits on having ITS Thailand is not clear• Not so many private companies in this business;
many of them import technologies from other countries.

Suggested what to do to make a successful ITS Thailand
1. Make a commitment • Clear policy statement• ITS Master Plan (5-10 years)• Secure budget for ITS development• Ease difficulties (e.g. regulation)
2. Make a win-win plan• Find responsible persons/agency in any
activities• Describe how to boost local industry
associated with ITS – make them profitable
