Border crossing trade can an important role in the competitiveness of Thai products in neighboring countries as Thailand has a geographical advantage that connects with neighboring countries making border trade an important part of generating revenue for the country. Thailand - Malaysia border trade study showed that the transit process took a long time resulting in a waiting truck at the checkpoint causing traffic jams and the congestion and congestion of the customs. As a result the average waiting time of the system takes up to 264.19 minutes per trip and transportation cost from 7141.87 baht per trip by reducing the waiting time from the process to 13.41 minutes per trip it was found that the transportation cost was 6975.16 baht per trip (Decrease of 166.71 baht). Reduction the transportation costs and waiting times enhance the potentiality and the competitiveness of border crossing

Freight is major source of income of the State Railway of Thailand (SRT); which had revenues of one billion baht a year. The development of freight by rail system to be fart punctual and safe is important. Knuckle pin serves tension and shear stress in pulling Rolling Stock. Strength testing of Knuckle pin must be done by technical and engineering knowledge. SRT has 6000 Rolling Stocks; that means 6000 Knuckle Pin has been used and it is likely to increase due to the construction of the Double Track Project and the purchase of new Rolling Stocks. The efficient Knuckle Pin prolongs lifespan and SRT would have benefit on saving cost of maintenance and increase safety in the transportation of goods. This research is aimed at creating the understanding about the quality of the Knuckle Pin modeled Nat Mall. The pin would be test by Standard Test Methods for Tension Testing of Metallic Materialsand the Standard Test Method for Analysis of Carbon and Low-Alloy Steel by Spark Atomic Emission Spectrometry and Hardness Testing Machine and Microstructureto determine the cause of pin’s damage. This study will contribute the standardization of the quality of the Knuckle Pin which is used in Rolling Stocks of SRT.

Run flat wheels for small armored regular trucks have been re-developed by transformation from the original metallic material to compound materials polymer group materials as important raw materials then added with aluminum oxide powder to achieve higher strength and wear resistance. The research was performed by using reverse engineering processes including designing and analysis with finite element methodology with the SolidWorks Simulation program and comparing the analyzed results with outcome experiments. Several variables used for the design and analysis were 1) the optimal width of the run flat wheel at the parts both attached to the wheel pan and contacted with the inner rubber surface 2) internal and external radiuses. The internal radius is depending on the size of the wheel pan and the external radius is a variable that determines the height of the Run flat wheel. 3) the shape designed to prevent wearing of the inner tire surface of the run flat wheel and the shape of the run flat reel in the part contacted with the wheel pan. This wheel pan part is such uneven inclined area which is difficult to hold. 4) a design locking kit for tightly fastening the run flat reels to the wheel pan 5) the material used to create the run flat wheel and 6) tire pressure. The run-flat wheels were then designed and constructed in a modular form of 3 parts for ease of the wheel pan assembly. In designing pattern the assembling run flat reels had to be fit into the characteristics of a small armored regular truck wheel pan convenient to assemble with a wheel pan and tightly attached without looseness or deformation when impacted. The run flat reel gripping device has been redesigned to lock all three run flat parts together. It brought up the impact resistance from body weight was at 50 km/hr.
