Eco-Smart Noise and Vibration Absorption Block for Railway

Nowadays, rail transportation has a significant impact on people's lives and economic growth. Consequently, the number of rail systems being built around our country has dramatically increased. This process causes various types of pollution, such as noise and rail-way vibration, which can badly affect the life of citizens who live nearby. The most popular way to solve this problem recently is to decrease the noise from the sound source or to adjust the vibration by attaching a Track Damper to the railway. This technique is being used in many countries especially in Europe and Australia because it is cheap and has high efficiency. The key piece called Track Dampers are made by AUT company’s Thailand for a period of time. The company produces Track Dampers for the owner of the technology so as to sell more than 300,000 pieces of it overseas. Furthermore, the demand of Track Dampers grows as the railway systems expand. Unfortunately, the imported synthetic materials, which are used to create Track Dampers, are made from environmentally unfriendly sources. As a result, this research aims to develop the product to be environmentally-safe by replacing some imported materials with Thai’s local content; which are natural rubber and rubber crumbs. Furthermore, the product will be added value by mounting with embedded sensors for real-time monitoring of track vibration, noise, and rail temperature. All embedded devices developed will sense, collect, and automatically send to cloud by wireless technology platform. The AI and IOT platform will also be developed for safety, security, and maintenance proposed of railway track system. However, in conducting research, there will be close collaboration with AUT company through design, production, and testing. The outcome of this research is to upgrade AUT company from tier 2 manufacturer (TRL 8-9) to tier 1 manufacturer (TRL 7-8) which will be served the Thailand competitiveness enhancing strategic goal.

"Blood D": Application and Campaign for Physically and Mentally Preparation of Thai Red Cross’s Blood Doner

In the world of blood donation, there are 2 types of people: those who donate blood and those who don't. Most campaigners emphasize how to persuade more people to donate blood and recruit more new blood donors. We believe that even though such focus is important, there're more critical aspects that might have been neglected, which is: for those who have already made up their minds to be blood doners, will they be successful in donating when the time comes? According to our studies, only 63 % of attempted doners are successful. Regrettably, 37 % has to go home disappointed as their bodies are not fit for the conditions required by Red Cross medical staff at blood donation centers (which include some most basic preparations such as low-fat food intake and 8-hours sleep on the night before). Our campaign, ‘Blood in Need, Buddy Indeed’, focuses on 2 aspects. Firstly, to persuade more people to donate blood. Secondly, for those who have made up their minds to donate blood, we will provide necessary support (both body and mind) so that they are fully prepared and successful in donating blood when the time comes via networks of systems, staffs and the newly designed and prototype of the application ‘Blood D’. Our campaign covers the whole ‘before/during/after’ experience of users (as blood doners). Support includes assessment of their current condition whether they are within the requirement of Red Cross Blood Bank. ‘Blood D’ will also provide relevant information on blood donating events, such as locations, and time booking. Once sign-up, the application “Blood D” will sent friendly reminder and clear infographic on how to prepare their bodies as daily notifications during the 7 days countdown. This is to ensure that the users’ blood will be ‘D’ (homophone of the Thai word ‘ดี’ which mean ‘good’ and at the same time playing on the word ‘ Buddy’) or be the ‘good blood’ that can save lives for those in need. After organizing 4 blood donation events both within and outside the KMITL. The numbers of successful blood doners have increased from 63 % to 78 % (this number is the average of 4 events, with the most successful event of 89%). The campaign has won the first runner up in national blood donation campaign competition. It is highly anticipated that once the application “Blood D” is fully launched, it will help increase the amount of blood collected up to 15% with the same numbers of existing doners.
