Overview：
The operation service of the Taipei MRT System over the past 20 more years has contributed to the turn-around effect for the city development. In view of this, aggressive action has been taken by local government to struggle for the MRT Project in the hope similar effect could be achieved. In view that the track transportation system requires enormous investment cost, it may lead to operation loss if the capacity is not as expected. In the long run, it would bring heavy burden to the financial status of local government and the worry on whether the transportation facilities could be used effectively. With the data collected from local and overseas markets, the type of track transportation system required for urban transportation system in Taiwan will be studied and its content shall also include the application of relevant laws as well as future technical development and industrial development in Taiwan. The result shall be used as one of the new options for the urban track transportation system in the future.
Research result：
- In this Plan, the development data of track transportation system are collected from local and overseas markets for analyzing the service gap of all types of urban public transportation in order to review the room for introducing the track transportation system. With such, we hope that it will help MOTC and local government to understand the issues and development trend of the track transportation system in modern days.
- Set the capacity density threshold according to break even principle for use by Bureau of High Speed Rail (BOHSR) as reference of amending the “MRT System Review Operation Guidelines” in the future.
- Analyze the strategies required for the planning and the sustainable operation of the urban track transportation system in Taiwan. The result will be used as the reference for examination by competent central authority and for local government to report the construction of track transportation system.
Promotion of Result：
The “Construction Development Trend and Issues for Urban Track Transportation System in Taiwan” was presented in “2016 Scholastic Thesis Seminar” convened by R.O.C. Transportation Society in December 2016.
The research result was presented and promoted in relevant occasions:
| Time | Location | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| December 30, 2016 | CECI (China Engineering Consultants, Inc.) | Expert & Scholar Seminar for Contemporary Key Track Issues –reporting the industrial research content and the industrial development status in Japan and China. |
| February 14, 2017 | Bureau of High Speed Rail (BOHSR) | Expert & Scholar Seminar for Contemporary Key Track Issues –reporting the scale of MRT population in Taiwan and other countries as well as the transportation capacity density threshold |
| February 24, 2017 | Executive Yuan | The conception for the metropolitan MRT capacity density threshold has been included in the “Perspective Infrastructure –Track” briefed to the Premier of Executive Yuan. |
The data has been collected and summarized and incorporated in “Vision for Track Transportation Development in future 30 years” for processing.
It will be used as the reference by BOHSR for amending “Application & Review Operation Guidelines for the MRT System Construction and Peripheral Land Development Plan”.
