The subject, on every street
Bangkok is the conference theme made visible: motorcycles, tuk-tuks, pedestrians, buses and cars negotiating the same space. Few cities make the case for protecting vulnerable road users more vividly.

XIV Extra ICTCT CONFERENCE 2027
A conference about everyone the road must protect
ICTCT — the International Co-operation on Theories and Concepts in Traffic Safety — has connected road-safety researchers since 1988. Its work is proactive: understanding and preventing crashes through methods that do not rely on crash data alone, from traffic-conflict techniques to behavioural observation and surrogate safety measures.
An ExtraICTCT conference takes that community beyond its annual European meeting. In 2027 it comes to Thailand, hosted by the Asian Institute of Technology with the Roads Association of Thailand and PIARC Thailand — into the region where the conference theme is most urgent. Southeast Asia carries some of the world's highest shares of vulnerable road user fatalities: motorcyclists, pedestrians and cyclists moving through traffic shared with cars, trucks and buses.
Two conference days of peer-reviewed research and practice, and a two-day research course for early-career researchers, all at the AIT campus north of Bangkok.
Research course
ICTCT Research Course
25–26 May 2027 · AIT
A two-day course on traffic-safety research methods, held immediately before the conference. Details follow with the programme.
Bangkok in motion
A city where mixed traffic is the everyday research context
The visual system uses Bangkok's streets and transit as context, while keeping ICTCT blue as the primary conference identity.

The venue
Conference venue
Asian Institute of Technology
58 Moo 9, Paholyothin Highway, Khlong Luang, Pathum Thani 12120, Thailand
From the airports
≈ 45 min from Suvarnabhumi (BKK) · ≈ 30 min from Don Mueang (DMK) by taxi or ride-hailing
From central Bangkok
AIT is in Pathumthani, ≈ 40 km north of the city centre — about an hour by car, or SRT Red Line to Rangsit plus a short taxi
Staying nearby
Recommended hotels and campus accommodation will be announced with registration
Bangkok & Pathumthani
The Asian Institute of Technology sits in Pathumthani province, just north of Bangkok — close enough for the city, far enough to focus.
Getting around
BTS Skytrain, MRT metro, river boats and the SRT Red Line commuter rail cover the city; ride-hailing apps (Grab, Bolt) work everywhere and are inexpensive.
After the sessions
Street food in Chinatown, the riverside at night, markets and museums — Bangkok rewards an extra day or two either side of the conference.
May in Bangkok
Early rainy season: hot (≈ 28–35 °C), humid, with short heavy showers — usually in the late afternoon. Venues, including the AIT Conference Center, are air-conditioned.
