Abstract

The demand for enhancing Thailand’s competitive advantage, especially by the infrastructure development projects, is a crucial issue for government and relevant agencies. Among the projects, the high-speed train is the most heavily invested project because it can carry passengers, materials, and goods rapidly with low costs, which leads to logistic cost reduction. This paper, therefore, presents a simulation conceptual model of the mass transit system from Bangkok to the main provincial stations by integrating two simulation techniques: system dynamics and agent-based model. All relevant types of transportation system are also considered to support the project.
