Dr. Sumet Ongkittikul

Chair of Research Committee

Despite ATRANS is reaching 3 years of officially establishment, it begins entering the threshold of 4th year from its first initiative. Time passes by so fast. ATRANS is becoming a tracking “Hub” for researchers and policy practitioners in Thailand and other Asian countries to gather together for networking and exchanging information and knowledge upon transportation-related research and development.

The fruitful productivity from the various academic and research activities during the past three years has publicized its reputation and acknowledgement to the public. We have received positive feedback and some of our research results have grasped attentions and were taken into consideration by the key policy makers....

We are proud of our first-step achievement, but recognize that we still have much to do. A range of critical issues in transportation is still a challenging pace and hence a driving force of our works. To achieve this, we need to expand a collaborative network among its members to the prospect researchers and scholars throughout Asian countries. The research and innovation technological development is at the heart of Transport challenges. ATRANS has therefore created transport research center that provides funding opportunity to its members and research outputs to public on sustainable transport and mobility solutions and the likes.

As the new ATRANS chairperson, it is my determination to pursue ATRANS’ objectives and goals. Last year, ATRANS has issued its first yearly journal which is available on line via its website and in a hard copy form. And I am proud to announce that this year another issue is on the way. I wish to encourage ATRANS members, students and the readers to submit your fine piece of research outputs to ATRANS Research: Journal Asian Transportation Research Society. To this end, I would like to take this opportunity to thank you the members and those who have works behind ATRANS’ success for being part of us and I wish to have a strong support from all of you again and again.
