The platform, which was commissioned by the Taichung City Government, will integrate the city’s digital map libraries including urban planning and cadastral map libraries, and will allow users to browse records concerning the city’s major construction projects and tenders.
The project made use of Google Earth Enterprise cloud technology and Google historical image browsing technology to allow users to access their own private “Earth” to search and browse city government map layers in 3-D.
In the future, city government employees will also be able to produce 3-D models of major construction projects.
According to an official statement, the information on the platform will gradually be made available to the general public to allow them to participate in and understand the city’s development objectives and progress.
In addition, several cloud-based service platforms in the areas of transportation, disaster preparedness, land administration, tourism, public safety and health care will be developed.
