Project Overview
This plan is in accordance with the instructions of former premier Su at the 3715th meeting on August 20, 2020: “In order to perfect related constructions, riders are expected to provide their opinions on improving respective road sections. "The secretary general has been asked to assist in establishing an email box for cyclists' public opinions and in integrating the ideas." The Secretary General of the Executive Yuan determined that the Ministry of Transportation and Communications will be the dedicated ministry for the cycling portal. Three design concepts must be included in the primary website design concepts: I.C.T. C is information transparency (including the integration and overlay of information layers of related ministries); I is the information portal link (including the horizontal ministry link and the longitudinal county/city government link); T is information exchange and interaction (including cyclist login, message reception, and dispatch backend platform processing systems). The Ministry of Transportation and Communications has designated the Institution of Transportation to carry out the "Taiwanbike Website" (https://taiwanbike.tw/) setup work in accordance with the aforementioned principles. The website, which features cyclist feedback, route search, related activities, related website links, Q&A, riding reminders, automatic route planning of the island round network, and websites in both simple and English versions, was officially launched in May 2021.
This year, the automatic route planning feature is being refined further. In addition to the island round road network, the Institute of Transportation interviewed 21 county and city governments across the country to help cyclists plan their routes more thoroughly. Furthermore, the major regional routes chosen by local governments have been included in the automatic route planning feature. The website has also established comprehensive English-language webpages to provide foreign tourists with cycling route search, planning, and other services. In order to make the most of limited resources, the website will be linked to the Tourism Bureau's "Taiwanbike Website." The Institute of Transportation has also provided the website architecture for the Tourism Bureau to use as a reference when implementing integration operations.
Research Results
- The Taiwanbike Website has been completed in order to provide riders with one-stop services, quickly obtain needed information, and participate in island round and regional network automatic route planning services.
- Cross-Ministries/Agencies, as well as cross-county and cross-city data, have been combined to provide the general public with a comprehensive national cycling road network map. The data is also used as a resource by ministries, counties, and cities for future cycling road network planning.
- The Taiwanbike Website can provide cyclists' opinions on dedicated units to serve as a foundation for the Directorate General of Highways, Tourism Bureau, and county and city governments to make improvements, as well as during subsequent operational management and maintenance.
Result Promotion and Benefits
- One seminar with experts and scholars was conducted to discuss the architectural planning of website integration.
- 21 interviews with the county and city governments were conducted. The cycling routes were collected and compiled.
- As of the end of February 2023, the website traffic exceeded 500,000 viewers.
