The accomplished goals of “The Project of National Toxic Chemical Substances and Environmental Agents (including real-time tracking) Management Information System” included:1,Integration of toxic chemical substances hazard relief information and geo-spatial technology to expand the breadth of system application; 2,Implementation of the installation of real-time tracking system (GPS) on vehicles transporting toxic chemical substances; 3,Planning management mechanisms and functions to improve service and to make the management system sustainable; 4,Assistance of business promotion and information error correction to make a sound content and to enhance management; 5,Providing a full range of operating instructions and educational methods to enhance the correctness of the use of process; 6,Implementation of network security management to protect against hackers effectively. In order to streamline the application processes, the project team provided the XML inter-change standard and built the functions of batch processing, automatic reminding to toxic operators, the inquiry function for operation records, toxic specialists validation function in transportation manifest system, and built “Toxic Chemical Substances Hazard Prevention and Response Plan” upload system. The project team also redesigned web functions to provide better services and more information, and transferred hardware to new site for better services. As to the management sector, the project team enhanced transportation manifest inquiry functions, permit integration function, online application system, geographical information system, account maintenance function, integrated with validation and inspection system as well as enhanced the function of approval process system. And these functions could control the flow of toxic chemicals and environmental agents. Moreover, system could present management performance and fulfill the vision of government e-services. As to training, the project team held three training programs for toxic chemicals operators, four for environmental agents operators, and three for system operators. Furthermore, the project team assisted the Environmental Protection Bureaus (EPBs) with training courses for eighteen times. We hoped users become more familiar with the system to avoid operational mistakes, and therefore system effectiveness could be raised.
