Overview：

　　Since 2009, we started the assessment of the long-term and mid-term construction development for the competent transportation authority. Based on the country’s policies and development direction, we provided the planning service for plotting the blueprint of overall transportation development and the decision support system in order to implement the “Long-Term & Mid-Term Plan Examination Decision Support System for the Competent Transportation Authority” and the integrated database. During 2011~2016, we continued our service in maintaining the aforesaid decision support system in order to enhance the system operation efficiency. It is hoped that practical experiences and know-how could be accumulated through the updating of fundamental data and drawings in order to strengthen the quality and the speed of the decision support system.

Research result：

• Integrated database for transportation planning: Implemented and updated the database required for the transportation planning such as GIS drawing data, social economic data, transportation operation data, transportation demand mode and special research area, etc.
• Decision support system for the competent transportation authority: Provided the network platform interface for the users to employ and integrate the data contained in the database as well as provided the functions required for the county/city trend analysis, plan analysis, data bank, knowledge bank, statistical map and system management, etc.
• Transportation planning related demonstration and drawing production system: The SuperGIS Desktop is used for collating the custom-made photo-shop set such as the fundamental transportation drawing, transparencies, referential drawings, thematic drawings and application expansion module, etc. in order to provide speedier function to produce the spatial drawings required for the research and analysis.

Promotion of result：

• By now, this Plan is now shared by the system platform resources of other agencies (Including the following platforms: TGOS by Ministry of the Interior, GIS-T and transportation data conglomerating platform by MOTC, railway network by Railway Reconstruction Bureau, sustainable life circle construction assessment management and regional transportation model specified by Construction & Planning Agency, demonstration of climate change assessment indicator, as well as the integrated assessment information for the energy conservation/carbon reduction strategy assessment). In the future, we will continuously integrate the secured drawings and data by means of scroll review.
• We invited the agencies (Including competent railway and highway authorities) under MOTC to participate in the “2017 Plan Mid-Term & End-Term Review Meeting”.
• On June 2, 2017, a result promotion seminar was conducted at Feng Chia University for which, attendants from the competent railway and highway management authorities of MOTC, the transportation planning agencies of the following 6 counties/cities governments (Including Taichung, Changhwa, Nantou, Yunlin and Chiayi), the Smart-based Transportation & Logistics Innovation Center of Feng Chia University and Central Taiwan Transportation R&D Institute were invited. During the seminar, the plan result and historical application cases were introduced and explained.
• During “2016 Annual Meeting & Scholastic Thesis Seminar” conducted by Transportation Society, the “Introduction on the Enhancement of Decision Support System Efficiency for Competent Transportation Authority” was announced. In the meantime, the “Implementation of Text Investigation Techniques in Preliminary Analysis of Social Public Comments for the Transportation Construction Project” was also announced in “2017 Engineering Sustainability & Civil Engineering Hazard Prevention Seminar” for communicating to the industries involved in order that it will be used in practical application.
