In order to increase the service capacity efficiency on check-in, security checks, and customs clearance, the Ministry of Transportation and Communications R.O.C. (MOTC), Taiwan, rerouted the airport traffic flow by implementing the in-town check-in (ITCI) concept to decrease crowding in the airport waiting hall. This research examined the structure of critical success factors (CSFs) for ITCIs, deriving three hierarchies of three dimensions, eight criteria, and 18 evaluation indexes from the previous literature, expert interviews, and analysis results from Analytic Network Process (ANP) via Super Decisions software. The three CSF dimensions were: first- level hierarchy “advantageous environments,” followed by “marketing” and “service value,” which is a second-level hierarchy. The study concluded that the third level item of “transferred vehicles system and management” can play an important key role in ITCTs and “users’ usage preference” has a high correlation to ITCT management strategy.

  • Improving the Transfer Flow of the Taipei Metro System for Route
    Chang, J.Y. & Yang, H.L. (2018). Improving the transfer flow Chang & Yang of the Taipei metro system for route development: Using open data of the origin and destination station. In Proceedings of The 18th International Conference on Electronic Business (pp. 766- 772). ICEB, Guilin, China, December 2-6. Improving the Transfer Flow of the Taipei Metro System for Route Development: Using Open Data of the Origin and Destination Station (Work in Progress) Jui-Yen Chang*, National Chengchi University, Taiwan, [email protected] Heng-Li Yang, National Chengchi University, Taiwan, [email protected] ABSTRACT This paper has presented a decision model for optimizing route allocation with linear programming in the Taipei Metro system. The goal is to avoid centralization of a passenger in certain transfer stations, which means that some transfer stations are overloaded, whereas some transfer stations may be nearly empty. This study applies the open data of origin and destination station to solve this problem. Specifically, through a direct computational comparison of the objective function value and statistical analysis between our proposed model and the existing route development, it confirms that our route development would achieve a reduction of ridership transfer flow of approximately 15% in this case. Keywords: Taipei Metro System, Linear Programming, Open Data Analytics. _____________________ *Corresponding author INTRODUCTION AND LITERATURE REVIEW The Taipei Metro, also known as the Taipei Mass Rapid Transit (MRT), began running back in 1996. It is the most important means of public transportation serving the metropolis of Taipei, Taiwan. Currently, the Metro system comprises 108 stations (123 if transfer stations are double-counted), five main routes, and two branch lines.

  • To “PASS” Comparison Between Easycard and Ipass 作者
    投稿類別：英文寫作類 篇名： A Card Make You “Easy” to “PASS” Comparison between EasyCard and iPASS 作者： 官書儀。市立台中家商。應用外語科三年二班。 張家瑜。市立台中家商。應用外語科三年二班。 蕭亦婷。市立台中家商。應用外語科三年二班。 指導老師： 李偉綾 老師 A Card Make You “Easy” to “PASS” Comparison between EasyCard and iPASS I. Introduction I.1 Motivation Along with the time and the progress of science and technology, people are reluctant to carry money to go outside, Electronic Stored Value Cards such as EasyCard and iPASS become the best choice for the public. In addition to saving space on paper money and coins, it can also be widely used in various fields. For example, we can use it to get on the bus or the train so that we don’t have to buy tickets. When we buy goods in convenience stores, we can use it to save the time when we pick up coins and bills from the wallet and put the change back into the wallet, not only solving the problem of a long line of customers, but cutting down on the trouble of collecting lots of currency. As technology and the system get advanced, the frequency of using EasyCard and iPASS has greatly increased(Chen, 2019), but why should we distinguish it between Easy Card and iPASS? What are the differences between them? What makes people choose to use EasyCard and iPASS? The purpose of our brief paper today is to compare the differences between these two and discuss the reasons for success and future development. I.2 Purpose of the Research 1. Introduce the history and features of EasyCard and iPASS 2.

    14. Taipei Metropolitan Area, Chinese Taipei Wei-Bin Chen and Brian H. Roberts 14.1 INTRODUCTION This chapter explores the development of the Taipei Metropolitan Area or Greater Taipei Region of Chinese Taipei, which includes Old Taipei and New Taipei City (Figure 14.1). The chapter profiles the region’s economic, urban development, social, environmental and governance environments. It discusses the development challenges facing the metropolitan region, and describes best practices in partnerships for sustainable city development. Photo 14.1 Taipei: A Metropolitan River City Credit: Min-Ming Chen. The Taipei Metropolitan Area, has been shaped strongly by the topography of the Taipei Basin formed by the Xindian River to the south and the Tamsui River in the west (Photo 14.1). Taoyuan to the west is separated by hills and river valleys from Keelung to the east. These are separate geographic regions, but their economies and transport systems are linked closely with that of the Taipei Metropolitan Area. Keelung City, a major port, is connected by road and rail through a narrow valley to the two cities. Taoyuan is becoming an emerging industrial centre with a growing urban spillover population from New Taipei. Taipei serves as the core city of the metropolitan area; it is the location of the central government and major commercial districts. Metropolitan Taipei has become one of Asia’s fastest-growing cities, with a dynamic economy and vibrant urban life. It has one 378 of the tallest buildings in Asia, the Taipei 101 tower.
