Step-by-step approach to becoming smarter

Key Technologies in Transport

• Pervasive sensor networks

○ Fixed sensor: traditional infrastructure ○ Mobile probe: OBU, smartphone ○ Human: Social media, wearable device

• Low-cost communication

○ WiFi, 4G, 5G, V2X ○ Smart Grid

• Software as a Service and Service Platform

○ SaaS in Transport ○ Mobile app ○ ITS Platforms

Issues and Necessity

• Transportation: 35% of total energy consumption

(700,000 MTHB/year)

• Cost of land transportation: 2.12 THB/ton/km (train

0.95 THB/ton/km), yet land transportion ratio is still as high as 87.5%

• Logistic costs is high (14.3% of GPD and 7.1% is

from transportation)

• 8,675 road accident death toll in 2013 (world 3rd

worst)

Traveller Information

Since 2008 we focused on Traffic information. Yesterday Invest on probe

• Taxi
• Smartphone
• Fleet vehicle

Today we go for Big Data while the GPS is built-in with new car.

Live Traffic with CCTV + mobile app

Yesterday We got only the congestion level color on the map. Today We got live stream and lot of mobile apps.

Public source to Crowd source Fixed CCTV Phone camera

Yesterda y Today

Today V2V, I2V, V2X Automated Vehicle Yesterday Human sense

The TIS will be moved to transient, local information for a small cluster.

It is about a Business Model

Data Exchange at iTIC

The Intelligent Traffic Information Center Foundation or iTIC was officially approved the registration by Ministry of Interior as a non-profit organization on June 14, 2010 with a registered capital of 500,000 Baht supported by Thai ITS Association.

Besides iTIC, ITS Thailand also supports other technologies: T-SQUARE by Toyota Tsusho, the member of ITS Thailand

Toyota Tsusho Electronics (Thailand) Co., Ltd.

Combat for high quality traffic info …

• From about 10K taxi GPS data, we can produce high density

(about 20,000 road links) and high accuracies (above 70%) traffic information for Bangkok metropolitan area

Show Traffic Time High Quality (TSquare quality) High Density Traffic (13 times of RDS-TMC)

Sukhumvit Road. Rama I Road.

▪ FM-RTIC is capable to broadcast traffic info. 13 times more than RDS-TMC. ▪ FM-RTIC is most appropriate for Asia megacities such as BKK, Jakarta, etc.

• 3. Instant Average speed of taxi on each road of

Bangkok

• 2. Instant numbers of taxi passengers (get
• n/off) and their OD (Original-Destination):

demand hotspot, demand prediction

• 5. Estimated instant traffic volume of Bangkok

roads.

• 4. Anomaly/incident detection from changes in

speed from average over Bangkok roads.

Conclusion and Challenges

• Technology(ICT) changes, Solution

changes, Lifestyle changes then turn loop.

• Taipei and Bangkok have many things in
• common. We should share solutions!
• In Smart City not only IoT but Human,

infrastructure and Vehicle are connected.

• Automated Vehicle and Connected Vehicle

are the trends of ITS, and also TIS.

• Good Business Model will make the

sustainable service. (like Uber, Waze)

Conclusion and Challenges

• ITS as a Service: We need a Service

Platform with Open Standard, Open Data.

• Customise to fit culture/life style.
• Next steps for BKK are last-mile, door-to-

door solution, and bike/car sharing. Let’s share the solution (business matching).

• Collaborations (among public authorities-

academia-private sectors) are essential and effective to taggle the problems and maybe the only way to successful deployment
