Summary The Taiwan Area Comprehensive Transportation Planning has been our (Institute of Transportation, IOT) focus for many years. The intercity transportation demand model was completed in 2008 to provide an analytical tool to anticipate and assess the demand for intercity transportation, as well as to evaluate intercity transport development by considering co-competition principles, sustainability and sensitivity to different strategies and policies.

　　Considering the recent rapid change in the economic environment, future transport planning in the Taiwan region will be examined and updated based on the conclusions drawn every five years using the data collected from yearly surveys and research. The constant monitoring of the uncertainty to refine the methodology will optimize the functionality and the predicting capability of the transport planning model for the Taiwan region.

　　This study involves a three-year plan and attempts to monitor and amend the previous model based on the preparatory study performed during 2009 and 2010. This year will be the start of the first five years and the tasks are listed as follows:

Estimate the Origin-Destination matrix of intercity trips (2010).
Analyze the trip patterns of intercity travel before and after operation of the high speed rail in Taiwan region.
Verify the forecasting results of socio-economic variables according to the previous project and propose a revision plan.
Verify the forecasting results of passenger transport modules according to the previous project, including trip generation, destination choice, and mode choice. Propose a revision plan for passenger transport modules for future use in practice.
Verify the forecasting results of freight modules according to the previous project, including freight transport in Taiwan region, maritime imports and exports, air imports and exports, and idle vehicles. Propose an improvement plan based on the future development of the freight model.
Complete a project for freight survey.
Amending the coefficient for energy spent and air-pollution emission modules.
