The Transport Ministry plans to install an automatic train braking system at Bangkok’s most lethal level crossing within six months, and expand the system to the capital's other railway crossings within two years.
Deputy permanent secretary Jirapong Theppitak said an automatic train protection (ATP) system would be installed at the Makkasan level crossing on Asok-Din Daeng Road to prevent a recurrence of the deadly train-bus collision there in May.
