Abstract

The Asian Economic Community, AEC, will begin at the end of year.  Thailand is one of AEC member, needs to prepare many aspects to support AEC.   When AEC starts, it influences to increase transportation running across border between adjacent countries.  So license plate which is needed for car recognition must be easily understood for all countries member.  Thai license plate must be necessarily developed to be international pattern.  By these reasons, the objectives of this research are to study 5 patterns of license plate which are included English prefix, area code and country code to support AEC participation. The study was done by legibility and recognition testing for 5 license plates. The car mounted with each patterned license plates passed through 37 observers by 40-45 kilometers/hour. Results of this study show that license plate no.3 which is wider and longer size, allows best legibility and recognition.  The license plate of trucks and motorcycles with the same size as current license plate also allow best legibility and recognition even though are added English prefix, area code and country code.
