Taoyuan Smart Bus

Taoyuan city has accomplished AI intelligent traffic control project on Zhongzheng East Road Dayuan county. With applying AI identification technology and AI timing plan algorithm, generate optimized timing plan which is corresponding to the traffic flow. It solves congestion problem dynamically. The AI technology applications include traffic flow identification and timing plan generation. This project successfully applied AI intelligent traffic control technology into Taiwan's complicated traffic flow environment by combining YOLOv4 and RL algorithm. Through advanced AI vehicle image recognition technology detects pedestrians and vehicles, protecting vehicles or pedestrians at intersections and road sections. By developing a traffic safety warning system to increase the safety of pedestrians and reduce the probability of accidents, remind drivers to change and adjust driving behaviors, achieving mutual comity protection and other policies.

In order to be able to grasp the city’s road traffic conditions in real time and provide users with the latest and most accurate traffic information, the bureau integrates traffic control related systems and collects various traffic related data (such as: VD, eTag, CCTV, CVP, power outage information, construction Information, weather, etc.), build 7 platforms for asset management, equipment maintenance, dispatch, traffic control, transportation information, meeting management, notification and maintenance. In addition, a number of intelligent functions have been developed, such as trunk road chain detection, detection of whether important road signs are chained, and the establishment of a virtual CMS to solve the problems of high cost of physical CMS, power and construction space limitations, so as to assist traffic control personnel in real time Detect traffic abnormalities and quickly issue various traffic strategies.

桃園市欠繳停車費案件累計達92,000餘件，欠費案件經移送行政執行署追討後，因無法得知欠費車輛所在位置，導致欠費車輛仍持續欠費佔用停車格，利用既有停車管理資訊系統，提供欠費車輛即時停車資訊，由系統主動通報欠費車輛停車位置，並由交通局與行政執行署桃園分署成立欠費車輛查扣小組，經系統同步通報法務部行政執行署桃園分署執行官到場執行扣車，再由交通局派遣拖吊車將欠費車輛移至管收物品保管場公告拍賣車輛清償欠費。同時，與本府警察局合作，透過停車管理資訊系統即時比對失竊車輛，至110年2月28日共尋獲17輛汽車，有效強化桃園市查緝失竊車輛能量。

There are various types of vehicle sharing in Taoyuan City, including a public bike system, scooter sharing, and car sharing. Users can choose the vehicle type and mode of transportation according to their demand and the traveling distance, and then rent a vehicle by using electronic stored value cards or smartphones. By having the vehicle sharing services in place, the Taoyuan City Hall increases space utilization, decreases private motor vehicle ownership, and further reaches the goal of Emission Reduction and makes the city a sustainable city. Currently,The Taoyuan Public Bike System has set up 366 shared bike stations and provided 9,480 shared bikes in Taoyuan City, and has 2,000 shared scooters available from GoShare and iRent services, as well as 100 cars available from iRent.

In recent years, the population of Taoyuan Metropolitan Area has grown rapidly, traffic is heavy, and there have been problems of congestion and illegal driving all the year round. In order to fundamentally improve the traffic, we start building Science and Technology Enforcement equipment to detect violating vehicles 24 hours a day, and to identify violations in real time. It can prevent frequent violations and let traffic light and safety. In order to enhance the public bus experience, Taoyuan City has created an integrated smart bus service. Citizens can use the Taoyuan Bus APP to check the instant arrival time before set off so that to arrange their commuting or traveling demand better. When passengers arrive at the bus stop, they can get real-time bus information through smart stop signs, and we also provide a comfortable waiting environment through the combination of shelters and chairs. With Taoyuan Citizen Card, you can enjoy a buy-one-get-one discount, and through the in-car stop name dialing system, provides information about stops along the way to prevent people from missing the stops. Finally, through the bus seat resignation system and bus body temperature detection system, provide citizens with more convenient and caring bus services.

The development of technology and smart transportation and innovations such as big data, 5G Internet of Things and AI have brought unlimited possibilities. The City has established parking information signs which provide space availability through mobile Apps to help users make parking decisions. The newly-built and existing multi-level parking lots also adopt the use of smart management equipment, including license plate recognition for quicker admission, smart vehicle search, universal card inspection machine and display for space availability to improve turnover in parking lots. The Department actively promotes the acceptance of various types of card payment for parking tolls, and has collaborated with O'Pay, Pi Wallet, GAMA Pay, JKO Pay, Far East Telecom, Gangu Tech, Line Pay, iPass, PKLot and Acer ITS to collect parking toll payment. The percentage of payment by mobile phone has steadily increased from 17% to 18%.
