ESCAP PPP Case Study #1
Public-Private Partnerships Case Study #1 Traffic Demand Risk: The case of Bangkok’s Skytrain (BTS) by Mathieu Verougstraete and Isabelle Enders (March 2014) The following case study examines the issue of traffic demand risk and sheds light on how the problem of inaccurate ridership forecasts can impact a PPP project by using the example of the Bangkok SkyTrain. TRAFFIC DEMAND RISK FIGURE 1 : ACTUAL/FORECAST TRAFFIC Even though literature is rich about theory and practice of traffic forecasting, insufficient attention has been paid to the predicted accuracy of traffic forecasting models and the consequences of occurring errors. Emperical studies suggest however that traffic forecasts in the transport sector are characterized by large errors and considerable optimism bias.1 This statement goes in line with the review conducted on PPP projects financed by the European Investment Bank which states that major issues in road projects BANGKOK BTS: CASE SUMMARY occurred because of traffic performance has been overestimated.

The Thai government drew up the Bangkok Mass Transit Master Plan (produced by the Office of the Commission for the Management of Road Traffic (OCMRT) and hereinafter referred to as the “master plan”) in 1995 based on the 7th National Economic and Social Development Plan (1992–1996) for the purpose of developing a mass transit network and also for developing a network of ordinary roads and expressways to achieve steady economic growth, together with resolving the above-mentioned traffic congestion and air pollution. Furthermore, the development of the mass transit network proposed in the master plan is also specified in the subsequent 8th National Economic and Social Development Plan (1997–2000), and it is positioned as an extremely important national project in Thailand. The plan for the Bangkok mass transit system, part of the master plan, involves the construction of five lines that will radiate out and join the Bangkok Metropolitan Area (BMA) with the Bangkok Metropolitan Region (BMR)1 together with creating a network 1 The Bangkok Metropolitan Region includes Bangkok, which is a special administrative area, and the surrounding five provinces of Samut Prakan, Pathum Thani, Samut Sakhon, Nakhon Pathom, and Nonthaburi. -

Investigation on Physical Distancing Measures for COVID-19 Mitigation of Rail Operation in Bangkok, Thailand
Investigation on Physical Distancing Measures for COVID-19 Mitigation of Rail Operation in Bangkok, Thailand Somsiri Siewwuttanagul1*, Supawadee Kamkliang2 & Wantana Prapaporn3 1,2 The Cluster of Logistics and Rail Engineering, Faculty of Engineering, Mahidol University, Thailand 3 Graduate School of Science and Engineering, Saga University, Japan * Corresponding author e-mail: [email protected] Received 5/5/2020; Revised 2/6/2020; Accepted 23/6/2020 Print-ISSN: 2228-9135, Electronic-ISSN: 2258-9194, doi: 10.14456/built.2020.7 Abstract The COVID-19 pandemic is the global health crisis and was declared a pandemic on 11th April 2020 by the World Health Organization (WHO). The most common solution is physical distancing which refers to avoiding close contact with other people by keeping a physical space between others. The COVID-19 pandemic is challenging mass transit services which are usually crowded with passengers. There is a need for an effort to save lives and stop spreading the virus, but metro transit still needs to provide services to people. Although the metro operators in Bangkok had a quick response to this pandemic by implementing physical distancing measures at stations and in passenger cars, effective levels of these measures are still under question. This study compares the physical distancing data surveyed during the COVID-19 pandemic and close contact transmission by breathing which defined the risk distance. The study investigates passenger levels of infection risk from close contact transmissions by breathing during the time at the metro station, based on the location where activities take place in metro stations: concourse level, platform level, and in the passenger car during the commute. -

In the early period, most people settled along the Chao Phraya River and the canals. Waterway served as the main mode of transportation for Bangkoknians’ commuting. By the mid-19th century, the commuting system was changed from water transport to land transport and had emphasized plans of transportation infrastructures such as bridge and road network. There have seen significant urban shifts in land use and travel behaviors. Specifically, this gradually converted Bangkok into a car dependency city and made the city spread outwards. Physically, employment locations are largely concentrated in the inner core. Such urban structure unavoidably generates huge amount of travel demand which are mostly made by long distance trips by private vehicles. The transportation in Bangkok is presently based on road and expressway network. -
