In terms of applications on the intelligent transportation management platform, New Taipei has established a Traffic Situation Room.

The New Taipei City Transportation Department recently hosted an Intelligent Transportation Centre Planning Forum to outline the blueprint for establishing the city’s Intelligent Transportation Centre (ITC). Commissioner of Transportation Department Chung Ming-shih emphasised that the ITC will leverage artificial intelligence to transform traffic management from passive response to proactive prediction, and from experience-based judgments to data-driven decisions—a shift from “seeing the problem” to “foreseeing the future.”

Chung noted that New Taipei faces massive daily commuting volumes and frequent congestion during peak hours. The new Intelligent Transportation Centre will serve as the nerve centre of the city's mobility management. Located in the city's upcoming administrative building in Sanchong District, the ITC will include a state-of-the-art monitoring hub and operations command room. Its core function will be to integrate diverse data sources—public transit, road conditions, weather, and traffic incidents—into a unified urban mobility database.

The system will incorporate advanced technologies, such as digital twins, vision-language models (VLMs) for image recognition, and large language models (LLMs) to enable precise simulations, rapid responses, and predictive management that prevent problems before they occur.

Canadian ITS expert Lin Guan-fa highlighted that the future of intelligent transportation will be profoundly shaped by disruptive technologies, such as 5G, the Internet of Things (IoT), connected and autonomous vehicles (CAVs), and vehicle-to-everything (V2X) systems. He stressed that new traffic management software must be modular, scalable, and app-based to meet evolving needs. Lin also underscored that data integration is key to success and suggested that New Taipei position the ITC as a testing platform for ITS innovation, collaborating actively with automakers to develop connected vehicle applications.

Professor Tsay Huel-sheng emphasised that the ultimate goal of smart transportation is to deliver tangible benefits to citizens. He recommended prioritising partnerships with Google Maps and other popular navigation platforms to deliver real-time traffic and rerouting information directly to road users.

Senior Specialist Lin Chao-hsien of the Transportation Department added that the future Intelligent Transportation Centre will feature a powerful AI assistant capable of intelligent incident management. When the system automatically detects an accident via image recognition, the AI assistant will evaluate rerouting options, adjust traffic signals in real time, and send alerts through the V2X network. From detection to decision-making and execution, the ITC will integrate “AI for Traffic Safety,” “AI for Public Transit,” and “AI Smart Roads” to launch a new era of intelligent, adaptive mobility for New Taipei City.
