AbstractThailand plans to build the Bangkok-Nong Khai (Northeastern) High-Speed Railway as part of the Kunming-Singapore railway central section, using dual standard-gauge tracks and operating speed 250 km/h. The first part is the Bangkok-Nakhon Ratchasima High-Speed Railway. This study conducts the traffic simulation analysis for traffic management inside the depot construction site of Bangkok-Nakhon Ratchasima High-Speed Railway Depot Project. Using Aimsun software with microscopic traffic simulation modeling, this study models total five options and compares the results under traffic management plan to alleviate difficulty of traffic control task of 700 vehicles per day carrying materials to deliver inside the construction project site. Deliveried materials include spun piles, landfill materials, ready-mix concrete, and machinery and service vehicles. This study reveals that the construction site traffic depends on volume to road capacity ratio, volume to unloading time ratio, vehicle-time schedule, and limited stopping area. From the analysis, the best solution is to divide the traffic volume into two periods a day to distribute the volume of traffic inside the depot construction project, as the total travel times and delays are decreased and causes no effect on the public traffic system. The operating cost is also the lowest.Paper ID: 12A1J
