Impact of Decentralization and Rail Network Extension on Future Traffic in the Bangkok Metropolitan Region

Abstract: In many large cities in developing countries, investments in transportation infrastructure are insufficient for the growing population, resulting in chronic traffic congestion and overcrowding. The urban population of developing countries is expected to increase further toward the middle of this century, and urban planning and transportation policies that foresee future population changes and economic growth are necessary to make these cities more sustainable. Bangkok is one of the most congested metropolitan … Show more

“…The estimated urban centers and urban area can also be used to examine the applicability of central place theory models 52 and land use simulation models, such as SLEUS 53 . Additionally, www.nature.com/scientificreports/ it can be used for agent-based traffic simulations [54][55][56] because it can estimate the traffic volume on a grid basis, which has higher spatial resolution than TAZ.…”

“…The results also indicate a significant conflict between the pattern of urbanization and accessibility across a variety of learning activities within Thanyaburi district. This may be due to several factors that influence activity uptake including land-use patterns, transportation and spatial configuration of urban structures [44]. Future studies need to capture additional information on demographics, transportation availability and usage, travelling distance and urban design to determine how best to develop "learning cities".…”

“…Developing subcenters at major rail transit nodes will reduce car dependency and increase the number of railway passengers in both directions of travel between subcenters. However, it was recently found by simulation that expansion of the urban rail network and the formation of sub-centers alone will not reduce the overall road traffic volume but will significantly increase traffic demand, resulting in higher congestion on both road and rail networks [66].…”
