AB - Adverse  weather  frequently  affects  the  capacities  and  travel  speeds  on  roadways,  which  result  in  worsened  traffic  congestion  and  incurred  productivity  loss.  Further,  with  climate  change   predicted   to   increase   rainfall   in   various   cities   in   Southeast Asia, the risk of flood damage in this region is not only anticipated  to  increase  and  affect  urban  function  but  may  also  significantly  aggravate  daily  traffic  flow.  This  study  highlighted  an analysis of the effect of rainfall on urban traffic flow through the  use  of  probe  vehicle  data  and  rainfall  data  in  the  center  of  Bangkok,  which  is  known  in  Southeast  Asia  for  problems  with  respect to maintenance of pumps and drainage channels and for many   flooded   roads   after   heavy   rainfalls.  The  experimental  results  demonstrated  that  the  average  travel  speed  decreased  by  0.02 km/hour per 1 mm of daily rainfall. In particular, at the time of  peak  traffic  demand,  the  travel  speed  was  notably  reduced  when   passengers   preferred   automobile   traffic.   In   2018,   the   economic loss estimate in central Bangkok due to annual rainfall was  approximately  0.01%  of  the  city’s  GDP.  Future  rainfall  forecast  data  makes  it  possible  to  assess  the  risk  of  climate  change on urban traffic flow.
