The open data platform of Taoyuan was developed with the goal of providing public data of various topics, including traffic status, public bicycles, household and vehicle theft incidents, real-time water levels monitoring, parking lots status, accommodation and tourism, health care, factory air pollution discharge, Hence the government transparency can be improved by means of this program. In the meantime, all citizens may find meaningful usage of such data for innovative value-added applications.
