This plan continues to maintain the services of thirteen mobile sources of air pollution management systems, inclusive of “Mobile Sources of Air Pollution Information Management System”, “Diesel Vehicle Exhaust Inspection Database System”, “High-Polluting Vehicle Reporting System” and so on. The databases of management systems, established under the various Environmental Protection Administration (EPA) projects relating to mobile sources of air pollution, proffered to implementing collation, statistical compilation and statistical analysis. The multiple data is also provided to another projects with authorization from EPA, including test data of diesel vehicles, air pollution statistical analysis of motor vehicles and data from AIS/MTNet2.0.
In FY2022, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) issued a subsidy policy for motors scrapped. This subsidy can be applied and appropriated with the recycling incentive fund of the recycling foundation. Therefore, the system which includes verification mechanism, data interfacing and searching was established. The system also provides several data interchange service elements, including qualification affirmative, application, review, tabulation, and appropriation. Furthermore, Windows Server 2012/R2 will stop releasing windows update after October 10, 2023. There are 13 server host which are maintained in the project need to update to Windows Server 2019.
On the immediacy part of key performance, the systems, which support notification, air pollutant emission testing, disciplinary, punishment and subsidy review, supply Environmental Protection Bureau (EPB) with 84,091,459 vehicles registration information inquiry records this year. Additionally, air pollutant emission testing results of motor vehicles and exhaust inspection results of diesel vehicles can be uploaded into the systems immediately. The mechanism of immediacy uploading prevents vehicle owners from impairment of vested right. There are 9,180,847 exhaust inspection records uploading during the year.
On the accuracy part of key performance, the systems switch 116,399 disciplinary and 52,438 punishment records to “Environmental Enforcement Management System (EEMS)”. Also, the mechanism of automatic inspection, including vehicle scrapped, transfer and vehicle registration plate changed, was constructed in the system to deter EPB from 66,938 invalid disposition records.
In addition, the systems support accuracy review and appropriations with subsidy qualifications approving and electronic payment flow. About 0.648 billion NT dollars are appropriated for air pollutant emission testing of motors. About 3.885 billion NT dollars are appropriated for subsidy of diesel vehicles. Assisting EPA with qualifications approving of motors scrapped subsidy has 264,703 review records.
As stated above, the plan compiles multiple mobile pollution source databases, e.g., air pollutant emission testing results of motor vehicles, exhaust inspection results of diesel vehicles and vehicle registration information. This plan builds 4 new system functions, continues to maintain the services of 13 mobile sources of air pollution management systems and connect with API services of external systems. For keeping the convenience and effectiveness of systems, there are 10,248 records in communicating with EPA, EPA projects, EPB and others.
The plan plays a service role in collecting and offering databases, and it assist EPA projects and EPB with providing integrated data about mobile sources of air pollution. Owing to subsidy of motors scrapped, it reduces 264,703 vehicles, TSP emissions by 96 metric tons, NOx emissions by 261 metric tons, NMHC emissions by 1,189 metric tons and CO emissions by 3,246 metric tons during 2022 to Jan 2023. The subsidy of diesel vehicles scrapped reduces 18,776 high-polluting emission vehicles, TSP emissions by 887 metric tons, NOx emissions by 10,632 metric tons, NMHC emissions by 959 metric tons and CO emissions by 3,723 metric tons during 2022 to Jan 2023.
