Travel Demand Forecasting in Chang Rai Province with the Denchai-Chaing RaiChiang Khong Railway Project : A Case Study of Chiang Rai Province
Main Article Content
Abstract
This paper developed and calibrated a traffic and transportation model for Chiang Rai Province using a 4-Step Travel Demand Forecasting Model. The study gathered socio-economic data, base-year and futureyear network data, and future-year network plans in accordance with the Office of Transport and Traffic Policy and Planning (OTP), focusing on Chiang Rai Province. Key components included the Den ChaiChiang Rai-Chiang Khong railway network and traffic volume survey data. The results of the development and calibration of the traffic and transportation model for Chiang Rai Province were analyzed every 5 years in the period of 20 years, including 2023, 2028, 2033, and 2038, found that the volume of travel has an increased growth rate, with average growth rate 1.7%, 1.6%, 1.9%, and 2.2%, respectively. This information can be used for traffic planning in the area, Planning road construction projects or expanding the number of lanes on roads in the area to accommodate the increasing traffic volume, Planning the construction of freight transportation centers along the railway line in the area to accommodate the transfer of goods and onward transportation to other areas.
