Of those who die on Thailand’s roads, 73% are motorcyclists. Despite a legal mandate, less than half of motorcyclists, and only 7% of children, wear helmets. To identify possible models to increase child helmet use, the Asia Injury Prevention (AIP) Foundation conducted four small- scale trials: (1) a helmet bank, (2) police enforcement, (3) petrol station retail, and (4) taxi stands. Trials 1, 2, and 4 resulted in increased child helmet use, but each had instructive challenges and strengths. Trial 3 presented a number of challenges leading to the conclusion that child helmet retail at petrol stations is not viable. Key Words: injury prevention, helmet, motorcycle, school-based intervention, evaluation 1.

  • Chapter 12 ROAD TRANSPORT in THAILAND
    Chapter 12 ROAD TRANSPORT IN THAILAND Narong Pomlaktong, Rattana Jongwilaiwan, Prakai Theerawattanakul and Rapee Pholpanich 1 Regulatory constraints on regular bus prices encouraged the entry of new competitors in a less regulated part of the market, offering more choice to consumers. Relaxation of quotas as well as infrastructure improvements led to lower prices and higher volumes of cross border road freight. Road transport reform raises significant issues of coordination across agencies. 12.1 INTRODUCTION There are many challenges in road transport policy development in Thailand. Many of the important issues are related to the population in Bangkok. Its size has made it difficult to create a well-designed urban public transportation system that meets the needs of the entire population. Other current domestic road transport issues include too great a focus on mega- projects in urban areas and their associated infrastructure without considering the development of secondary roads, regulation in the market for passenger vans and price distortions such as lack of congestion and pollution charges. Thailand is also working with other economies in the South East Asian region to liberalise cross-border transport and to improve the transportation corridors which link their markets. Transport policy in Thailand has developed in concert with urban development planning. The first four development plans by the National Economic and Social Development Board (NESDB plans) from 1963 to 1981 aimed at accelerating economic growth by emphasising utility infrastructure development, including electricity, water, transport, educational institutions and public health. Besides this, the plans focused on export-led and import- substitution industrialisation. The government, therefore, allocated a large amount of its budget to transport, energy and irrigation.

  • Thailand Transport Sector Assessment, Strategy, and Road Map
    Thailand Transport Sector Assessment, Strategy, and Road Map The Asian Development Bank (ADB) is preparing sector assessments, strategies, and road maps (ASRs) to help align future ADB support with the needs and strategies of developing member countries and other development partners. ASRs are a working document that help inform the development of country partnership strategies. This transport sector ASR highlights development issues, needs, and strategic assistance priorities of the Government of Thailand and ADB, with a focus on roads and railways. It highlights sector performance, priority development constraints, the government’s strategy and plans, other development partner support, lessons learned from past ADB support, and possible future ADB assistance, including knowledge support and investments. The product serves as a basis for further dialogue on how ADB and the government can work together to tackle the challenges of managing transport sector development in Thailand in the coming years. About the Asian Development Bank ADB’s vision is an Asia and Pacific region free of poverty. Its mission is to help its developing member countries reduce poverty and improve the quality of life of their people. Despite the region’s many successes, it remains home to two-thirds of the world’s poor: 1.8 billion people who live on less than $2 a day, with 903 million struggling on less than $1.25 a day. ADB is committed to reducing poverty through inclusive economic growth, environmentally sustainable growth, and regional integration. Based in Manila, ADB is owned by 67 members, including 48 from the region. Its main instruments for helping its developing member countries are policy dialogue, loans, equity investments, guarantees, grants, and technical assistance.

  • A Grid-Based Spatial Analysis for Detecting Supply–Demand Gaps of Public Transports: a Case Study of the Bangkok Metropolitan Region

Several public transportation modes are available in Bangkok Metropolitan Region (BMR) such as buses, heavy rails, vans, boats, taxis, and trains while in some areas have fewer modes of public transport available. The disparity of public transport service negatively impacts social equity. This study aims to identify the gaps between public transport supply and demand and to demonstrate introduced indicators to assess the public transport performance incorporating transport capacity and equilibrium access aspects. Supply index was used to evaluate the level of service, and the demand index was applied to estimate travel needs. Furthermore, the Lorenz curves and the Gini coefficients were used to measure the equity of public transport. The results highlight that more than half of the BMR population is living in low-supply high-demand areas for public transportation.

  • Evaluation of Transport Interventions in Developing Countries
    VTI rapport 855A Published 2015 www.vti.se/publications Evaluation of transport interventions in developing countries Kerstin Robertson Annika K. Jägerbrand Georg F. Tschan VTI rapport 855A VTI rapport | Evaluation of transport interventions in developing countries in developing interventions Evaluation of transport VTI rapport 855A Evaluation of transport interventions in developing countries Kerstin Robertson Annika K. Jägerbrand Georg F. Tschan Diarienummer: 2011/0469-24 Omslagsbild: Thinkstock Tryck: LiU-Tryck, Linköping 2015 Abstract International climate policy and the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) with the Kyoto Protocol include different mechanisms or programmes for actions in developing countries aimed at reducing emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2). To verify compliance, the effects of such actions, including transport measures, need to be measured, reported and verified (MRV). However, in relation to other sectors very few transport-related projects have been initiated. Potential problems and ambiguities related to the current evaluation methodology were therefore investigated as a possible explanation for the low interest in investments in the transport sector. Other objectives of this study were to analyse the requirements for development and improvement of methods for evaluating the effects of transport policies and measures on emissions of greenhouse gases in developing countries. The analyses includes a review of different climate mechanisms, for example applied within the UNFCCC, evaluation requirements and methodologies used, the general availability of methods for evaluation of traffic and transportation, evaluation data availability, and institutional conditions in developing countries. The main conclusions are that measuring traffic and transportation is generally a complex and demanding process, and the potential for misinterpretation of results is significant.
