The Study for the Development of a Macro Simulation Model for forecasting the demand for rail travel and the development of a rail mass transit network in Bangkok Metropolitan Region Phase 2 (M-MAP2) Department of Rail Transport Final Report 1-1 CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION 1.1 Principles and Reasons The Ministry of Transport (MOT.) by the Office of Transport and Traffic Policy and Planning (OTP) has prepared the 20-Year Mass Rapid Transit Master Plan for Bangkok Metropolitan Region (M-MAP) (2010-2029) , which defines the rail mass transit system for Bangkok Metropolitan Region, totaling 12 routes with a total distance of 509 kilometers, which the network of mass rapid transit under M-MAP aims to develop the network of mass rapid transit only in the central business area within a radius of 20 kilometers from the center of Bangkok only. Therefore, there are still many areas with high travel demand but the network of mass rapid transit is still inaccessible. And as a result of the development of the network of mass rapid transit according to the M-MAP plan, the context of the city's growth has changed. with more expansion in suburban areas. There are many residential and commercial areas along the mass rapid transit route. As a result, the travel patterns of people in Bangkok Metropolitan Region have changed. In addition, in the future, Thailand will step into an aging society. Therefore, the development of the rail mass transit system in the next phase is in line with the current and future context. Therefore, planning is needed to develop the second Bangkok Mass Rapid Transit Master Plan for Bangkok Metropolitan Region to expand the mass rapid transit network to be comprehensive and in line with the growth of the city along with studying the integration approach to connect the secondary network (Feeder) to the main network of M-MAP to be efficient and able to support the travel of people in Bangkok Metropolitan Region appropriately. Including studying the measures and guidelines to encourage people to change their travel behaviors by using public transport instead of using private cars to be concrete. The Commission for the Management of Land Traffic Meeting No. 1/2015 held on June 10, 2015 acknowledged the situation of implementing the project according to the M-MAP plan and resolved to allow the MOT to conduct a study of the second Bangkok Mass Rapid Transit Master Plan for Bangkok Metropolitan Region (M-MAP 2) by the MOT has coordinated the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) to support the direction and policy development of the M-MAP 2 (M-MAP 2 Blueprint) and assigned to the OTP, which has the authority to recommend policies and create master plans, master plans and strategies for the development of traffic transport systems. Safety and environment in the country's transportation system is a joint study with JICA. OTP and JICA started studying the M-MAP 2 Blueprint since March 2017 and completed it in September 2018. It was a study to determine the direction and policy for the development of the M-MAP 2. already studied on January 3, 2019 and assigned the MOT to develop cooperation with JICA to further study the development of the M-MAP 2. In this regard, the Cabinet has resolved to acknowledge the roadmap resolution on the results of the study of M-MAP 2 Blueprint on January 22, 2019.

The Study for the Development of a Macro Simulation Model for forecasting the demand for rail travel and the development of a rail mass transit network Department of Rail Transport in Bangkok Metropolitan Region Phase 2 (M-MAP2) Final Report 1-2 The Department of Rail Transport (DRT) was established under the Ministry of Sub-Ministry Renovation Act (Version 18) 2019 on April 15, 2019 as an upgrade from the Office of the Railway Development Project, OTP. It is responsible for overseeing the rail transportation system across the country to be the same standard. as well as recommending policies, strategies and work plans for the supervision of rail transport as a standard. In addition, the development of the country's rail transport infrastructure to be competitive and connect other modes of transport and neighboring countries as well as making policy recommendations, strategies and development plans for the country's rail transport. Including study and development to determine the country's rail transport network. Therefore, the planning for the development of the M-MAP 2 network, which is the country's rail transport development plan Therefore, it is a direct mission under the authority of the DRT and it is also a continuous mission of the DRT. that must be carried out in accordance with the resolution of the Commission for the Management of Land Traffic on June 10, 2015. However, JICA made a suggestion in the MMAP 2 Blueprint that the planning for the rail transit network in M-MAP 2 would be the most productive and able to truly meet the needs of people traveling, MOT. should develop specific rail travel demand forecasting models. In order for the planning to develop the M-MAP 2 network to truly achieve the goals. In addition, according to the M-MAP plan that defines the rail mass transit network in Bangkok Metropolitan Region for a period of 20 years (2010-2029), totaling 12 routes with a total distance of 509 kilometers, currently in service are 211.18 kilometers, under construction around 114 kilometers, and many other projects are in the process of preparation. Therefore, the government still has a large burden of investment in network development in the rest. Therefore, DRT is appropriate to review the necessity and appropriateness of the rest of the M-MAP implementation. and additional networks as proposed by JICA in the M-MAP 2 Blueprint to ensure operational clarity and to avoid excessive government investment burden, as well as to enhance the quality of life in travel with the public transport system to be convenient, safe and fast. 1.2 Project Objectives DRT wishes to hire a consultant to study the development of Railway Demand Forecast Model and the development of rail mass transit network in Bangkok and its vicinity. (Continuous area) Phase 2 with the following objectives: 1) To review the current status of M-MAP projects and coordinate various progress plans that each relevant department is in the process. including gathers problems and obstacles arising from the implementation of the M-MAP, as well as a review of the M-MAP 2 Blueprint guidelines. 2) To study and review the suitability of the rail mass transit network. Including each route and project development model that has been defined in M-MAP but has not yet been constructed and review of the proposed network M-MAP 2 Blueprint and suggest more in accordance with urban expansion and development patterns.

It waspresented that the average travel distance was 11 km, but the data from mobile was about 5-6 km. The average trip length is an important information that Departmrail transport (DRT) will calculate aadvanced fares. For example, if using the averagdistance of 11 km in the fare calculation formula 12+2 X , where X is the distance, according to the distance will be 22 baht plus the entrance fee of 12 baht (access for a total of 34 baht, Therefore, in the future, Department of rail transport (DRannounce the maximum fare in Bangkok and metropolitan areas should not excbaht.

The distance per trip to work is 5-6 km/way (both from the survey results and from telephone signal data), and since the study area is a specific area (it is an urban area on Ratchadapisek Road, where there are office buildings on the main road and residential areas in alleys that are not far from the work area). As a result, the average trip length is different from the overall travel picture in Bangkok and its vicinity. Overall, there's another group of travelers called Commuter trips, a suburban home and a place to work in the city, which will make for a longer trip length. sample Question Answered The consultant has conducted a more detailed and in-depth analysis and is shown in Section 4.5.

In addearning less, they also have to travel more and waste more time on travel. If we same distance rate. Low-income earners also have to pay more for travel than thohigher incomes. Department of rail transport (DRT) has an opinion that it is inappand unjustified. People outside the city are advised to receive lower distance rabecause they are suburban and have no income. If they had a high income, they wlive in the suburbs because of wasting time traveling, but nowadays it seems to that, for example, the Green Line, etc., at present, the extension is 15 baht, it is a fnot a distance rate, then from Central Ladprao to Kukot, it is also flat rate, which Bshould set the price soon, as if nature or history says that it must be that way, theis so that way, but in the future, if the model is completed, it will definitely setzone. 3.2 Ask the consultant to consider addressing past matters.
