Improving Sri Saket’s competitiveness through transport mapping and design
PublicDownloadable Content
open in viewerThe municipality of Sisaket, Thailand has recently experienced a rapid increase in motor vehicle usage, overwhelming the current road network with traffic congestion. Prior attempts at introducing various transportation systems failed to satisfy user needs and adapt to local conditions. Our project goal was to recommend transport systems that the municipality can implement to improve Sisaket’s economic competitiveness and sustainability. We identified and compared potential systems as well as conducted interviews and focus groups to gain insight into Sisaket’s existing transport network. We then investigated the benefits of partnering with an established on-demand E-tuk tuk service, finding it to be ideal because of its cultural suitability and potential to advance the local economy.
