Abstract
This study aims to design suitable multimodal transport routes connecting three corridors: Thailand–Laos–Vietnam, Thailand–Laos–Cambodia, and Thailand–Cambodia–Vietnam, in the Indochina region. Ubon Ratchathani Province serves as the central hub, linking transportation routes between Thailand, Laos, Vietnam, and Cambodia. Currently, transportation in the region continues to face obstacles, including modal discontinuity, high costs, and a lack of efficiently connected infrastructure, which impact cross-border travel and trade. This research applies Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) to analyze the efficiency of transport routes, considering factors such as distance, cost, availability of facilities, and user-based performance scores. The results indicate that integrating appropriate transport modes can significantly reduce logistics costs and improve the efficiency of the regional transport system.
