It has been drastically affecting the country economic in the competition level, worsen air and noise conditions and undermine quality of life of the population. The most important factors causing traffic problems are one center for inclusive growth, high level of employment prevail only in the inner-city area and more importantly the lack of quality and accessible public transportation system. The fact that development of Bangkok and other major cities grows rapidly with several large project developments have directly affect on the increment of travel demand leads to over consumption of planned transportation facility and finally generates traffic problems. In the present, standard setting for Traffic Impact Assessment (TIA) which support and mitigate the current situation of city development and other traffic problems in the present and what will occur in the future is not currently present in Thailand. If there is no standard setting for Traffic Impact Assessment, the assessment of development impacts will be unable to assess. More importantly, the preparation of mitigation plans or mitigation strategies in order to support the travel demand will be impractical, which will soon create more traffic problems in the future. The office of Transport and Traffic Policy and Planning operates under Ministry of Transport, has an authority to offer the policy and traffic planning system and standardization of traffic system management to the cabinet, see as appropriate that Traffic Impact Assessment standard need to be set up so that it can be used as a possible model in order to manage, decrease and minimize the most effect of development since the construction approval process and during the construction also apply mitigatation strategies after the construction finished, with that the cabinet also see as appropriate to take the study of TIA into practical level. Objectives 1) To set up the Traffic Impact Assessment standard and together prepare the index and parameter related to TIA. Also purpose the way to legitimate the standard to the practical level and purpose the implementation plan. 2) Prepare technical support related to traffic policy and planning. 3) Enhance knowledge and potential of transport and policy and planning’s officers along with its relevant department in order to strengthen the analysis and planning skills. 1-1 Executive Summary Report The study of Traffic Impact Assessment Standard Scope of Study 1.3.1 Task 1: Study, collect, and analyze information related to the traffic impact assessment data of relevant agencies Study, collect, and analyze data and the study process of traffic impact assessment by using the index, variable, and parameters from the foreign department to analyze and compare to operation in Thailand. 1.3.2 Task 2: Explore the relevant information, index, variable, and parameter need to be used in studying the traffic impact assessment in order to recommend the suitable one. Explore the information need to be used in the study of traffic impact assessment in order to analyze and set up the suitable parameter such as trip generation, trip attraction, and level of service. 1.3.3 Task 3: Set the standard for traffic impact assessment to be used as guideline and purpose the implementation plan.

  • 9 Sacred Sites in Bangkok Temple As an Auspicious Activity That Grants Them Happiness and Good Luck
    The 9 Sacred Sites Buddhists in Thailand pay homage at the temple or ‘wat’ as they believe it is a way to make merit. They consider paying homage to the principal Buddha image or to the main Chedi of the 9 Sacred Sites in Bangkok temple as an auspicious activity that grants them happiness and good luck. The number nine is considered auspicious because it is pronounced as ‘kao,’ similar to the word meaning ‘to progress’ or ‘to step forward.’ Therefore it is believed that a visit to nine sacred temples in one day gives the worshippers prosperity and good luck.

    Keeping It Alive: Mapping Bangkok’s Diverse Living Culture Bussakorn Binson+ Pattara Komkam++ Pornprapit Phaosavadi+++ and Kumkom Pornprasit++++ (Thailand) Abstract This research project maps Bangkok’s living local culture sites while exploring, compiling and analyzing the relevant data from all 50 districts. This is an overview article of the 2011 qualitative !eld research by the Urban Research Plaza and the Thai Music and Culture Research Unit of Chulalongkorn University to be published in book form under the title Living Local Cultural Sites of Bangkok in 2012. The complete data set will be transformed into a website fortifying Bangkok’s cultural tourism to remedy its reputation as a destination for sex tourism. The !ve areas of cultural activity include the performing arts, rites, sports and recreation, craftsmanship, and the domestic arts. It was discovered that these living local cultural sites mirror the heterogeneity of its residents with their diverse ethnic and cultural backgrounds. There are local culture clusters of Laotians, Khmers, Mon, Chinese, Islam, Brahman-Hinduism, and Sikhs as well as Westerners. It was also found that the respective culture owners are devoted to preserve their multi-generational heritage. The natural beauty of these cultural sites remains clearly evident and vibrant, even though there remain dif!culties hampering their retention. The mapping of these sites are discussed as well as the issues surrounding those cultural sites that are in danger of extinction due to the absence of successors and other supportive factors necessary for their sustainability.

  • Cultural Heritage
    Cultural Heritage ANCIENT MOSQUES ON THON BURI SIDE OF BANGKOK ARE RARE ARCHITECTURAL AND HISTORICAL MARVELS Published: 6/02/2012 at 12:00 AM Newspaper section: Life Writer: Ploenpote Atthakor Position: Reporter Stepping inside Bang Luang Mosque in Bangkok's Thon Buri district, a group of visitors was overwhelmed by its tranquility, happy to leave behind the bustling traffic noise from the nearby street. Ton Son Mosque was renovated and given a typical Islamic makeover with a distinctive dome-shaped roof. The old structure (inset) combined both Thai and Islamic art. They were also captivated by its stunning architectural beauty _ a Thai-style building that made it look more like a Buddhist temple than a place of worship for people of the Islamic faith. "The architectural style, with colossal pillars supporting the roof and simple gable, indicates that the mosque was built during the reign King Rama III," said Teeranun Chuangpichit of the Thon Buri Historical Information Centre. The historian led a walking tour recently to this community as part of Siam Society's its "Siamese Heritage Protection" programme. On the tour stop were two other remarkable mosques in Thon Buri, Ton Son Mosque and Kadee Charoen Phat. Without a dome, the elegant Bang Luang Mosque still bears Islamic symbols like the motif on the gable and the external walls that bear the name of the Prophet Mohammad. Some aspects of the mosque are hidden in codes _ like the number of pillars, totalling 30, signifying the 30 chapters in the Islamic holy book Koran. This old mosque, which locals call "Kadee Khao", nestles in a Muslim community whose roots, according to historical documents, date back to the reign of King Rama I, said Teeranun.

  • Reinforcement Learning Agent Under Partial Observability for Traffic Light
    EPiC Series in Computing Volume 62, 2019, Pages 29{47 SUMO User Conference 2019 Reinforcement Learning Agent under Partial Observability for Traffic Light Control in Presence of Gridlocks Thanapapas Horsuwan1 and Chaodit Aswakul2 1 International School of Engineering, Faculty of Engineering, Chulalongkorn University [email protected] 2 Wireless Network and Future Internet Research Unit, Department of Electrical Engineering, Faculty of Engineering, Chulalongkorn University [email protected] Abstract Bangkok is notorious for its chronic traffic congestion due to the rapid urbanization and the haphazard city plan. The Sathorn Road network area stands to be one of the most critical areas where gridlocks are a normal occurrence during rush hours. This stems from the high volume of demand imposed by the dense geographical placement of 3 big educational institutions and the insufficient link capacity with strict routes. Current solu- tions place heavy reliance on human traffic control expertises to prevent and disentangle gridlocks by consecutively releasing each queue length spillback through inter-junction coordination. A calibrated dataset of the Sathorn Road network area in a microscopic road traffic simulation package SUMO (Simulation of Urban MObility) is provided in the work of Chula-Sathorn SUMO Simulator (Chula-SSS). In this paper, we aim to utilize the Chula-SSS dataset with extended vehicle flows and gridlocks in order to further optimize the present traffic signal control policies with reinforcement learning approaches by an artificial agent. Reinforcement learning has been successful in a variety of domains over the past few years. While a number of researches exist on using reinforcement learning with adaptive traffic light control, existing studies often lack pragmatic considerations con- cerning application to the physical world especially for the traffic system infrastructure in developing countries, which suffer from constraints imposed from economic factors.

  • Political Public Relations and Digital Vote
    Mukda Pratheepwatanawong Thesis submitted to the University of Nottingham for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy February 2017 Acknowledgements My Ph.D. research and thesis writing took much longer than expected. With all the different challenges I went through in this Ph.D. journey, I will never forget anyone who has helped or guided me throughout this journey and made my Ph.D. thesis a possible one. I could not say enough to thank both my Ph.D. supervisors, Dr. Tessa Houghton and Dr. Michael Connors, who spent the last few years saving my Ph.D. Both supervisors provided continuous guidance, feedback and constructive criticisms throughout my Ph.D. study. I used to be totally lost in my research and spent hours and days either staring at the wall in my room or my laptop screen. Through regular Ph.D. meetings with both supervisors, they brought my research back on track. Without their supervision, it would be impossible for me to turn the research ideas that I once wrote on a piece of recycle paper into this Ph.D. thesis. As a research student who did not have any connection with Thai politicians and political party, I really appreciate people who have allowed me to interview them in this research. Interviewees who agreed to be interviewed in this research have provided valuable data, which was another major motivation for me to finish my Ph.D. I hope the contribution of knowledge made in this thesis will be useful for Thai political figures and public relations personnel who use social networking sites for political communication and election campaign.
