Prof. Agachai Sumalee, Deputy Executive Director of the Chulalongkorn School of Integrated Innovation (CSII) and faculty expert in Smart City and Sustainable Development, was invited to speak at the prestigious Smart City Summit & Expo (SCSE) 2025 in Taipei.

As the largest professional exhibition of its kind in Asia - and the only one in Taiwan focusing on integrated smart city solutions - the event this year centers on the theme of digital and green transition, spotlighting innovations that shape the future of urban sustainability and digital transformation. With over 2,300 booths and attendees from more than 60 countries, SCSE serves as the ultimate platform to connect with potential partners from government and industry sectors worldwide.

During the event, Prof. Agachai delivered a talk titled “Experience from M-Flow Deployment to Urban Congestion Charging Implementation in Bangkok”, sharing insights from his leadership in the development of Thailand’s first multi-lane free flow tolling system, M-Flow. He emphasized key lessons on user adaptation, experience, and policy implications that could inform the design of effective congestion charging in Bangkok.

Prof. Agachai also underscored the critical role of integrated data systems for user and vehicle identification - essential for accurate toll transaction processing and enforcement in future urban mobility frameworks.
