# Taipei — SCD City Research v0.2.3
**Status:** provisional; not yet imported or published · 11 October 2026
**Entity:** municipality; parent: Taipei City (12 administrative districts); New Taipei City is a separate municipality
**Boundary:** Taipei City, not neighboring New Taipei City, nor the greater Taipei metro area.
**Provisional result:** 2B — provisional; Type **26.25**, Autonomy **11.04**.

## Source audit
11 discovered candidate URLs: 10 examined/accepted, 0 examined/rejected, 0 inaccessible, 1 unexamined; 7 publisher families among examined accepted records. The count excludes reprints as separate publisher origins. Open/search snippets are not treated as source examination.

## Key conclusion
Provisional 2B municipality-wide. Two or three independent intelligent domains (mobility and flood/water forecasting clearly; AI civic hotline candidate) but no verified closed-loop independent action selection across two municipal service domains. Emergency dispatch voice AI prototype excluded from T2 city credit.

## Exact quantitative methodology
The eight frozen domains each carry weight 0.125. Each qualified operating deployment must have c>=0.60 and g=1. Coverage coefficients: P .15, D .35, N .65, W 1.00. Type = 100×sum_d(0.125×max_i(g_i×c_i×T_i/3)); Autonomy = 100×sum_d(0.125×max_i(g_i×c_i×A_i/3)). Type 2 requires total >=10 and two independently qualified T>=2 domains; Level C requires >=10 and two independently qualified domains with real, independently selected closed-loop A>=2 actions at N/W scope. Display values round half up.

## Technology inventory and admissibility
### TECH-001: Taipei dynamic and AI-responsive intersection signal network
- **Domain:** MOB; T=2; A=1; c=.65; g=1; N coverage; status: operating documented, 2026 totals not rechecked.
- **Territory and reach:** 143 intersections as of traffic report; 103 dynamic, 40 traffic-responsive; covers multiple corridors, not demonstrated W citywide.
- **Authority:** Signal plans adjust to detected conditions, but actual choice of contextual alternative strategies and oversight not independently documented.
- **Included/excluded rationale:** N provisional from geographically distributed operating network. Automatic green extensions/plan adjustments not sufficient to infer A2.
- **Supporting original source IDs:** SRC-001;SRC-002;SRC-009
### TECH-002: HEO AI 30–60 minute flood forecasting and pumping telemetry
- **Domain:** WAT; T=2; A=1; c=1; g=1; W coverage; status: operating municipal service.
- **Territory and reach:** All 88 Taipei municipal pumping stations monitored, forecasts serve city flood management.
- **Authority:** AI predicts hot spots; staff prioritize interventions; water-level pumps activate via conventional preset rules.
- **Included/excluded rationale:** A1 based on actionable forecasts; autonomous actuation A2 not established as adaptive strategy selection.
- **Supporting original source IDs:** SRC-003
### TECH-003: 1999 AI-assisted municipal hotline / case service
- **Domain:** GOV; T=2; A=1; c=1; g=1; W coverage; status: operating hotline; degree of AI full rollout uncertain.
- **Territory and reach:** 1999 service citywide, 5-month AI trial reported accurate; city says operating AI integration.
- **Authority:** AI speech-to-text and FAQ recommendations; human operator chooses instructions and case routes.
- **Included/excluded rationale:** No independently chosen municipal actions or administrative adjudications.
- **Supporting original source IDs:** SRC-004;SRC-005;SRC-006
### TECH-004: 119 high performance emergency dispatch platform
- **Domain:** SAF; T=1; A=0; c=1; g=1; W coverage; status: operating digital service; AI voice enhancement pilot.
- **Territory and reach:** Emergency response throughout Taipei City since 2022.
- **Authority:** Dispatchers make judgments; digital maps and dashboards provide information.
- **Included/excluded rationale:** Do not score AI voice prototype as confirmed citywide T2/A1.
- **Supporting original source IDs:** SRC-007;SRC-008
### TECH-005: Emergency-vehicle signal priority pilot
- **Domain:** MOB; T=1; A=0; c=.35; g=0; D coverage; status: localized operating at 22 intersections historically.
- **Territory and reach:** 22 intersections in selected roads, 2022 pilot; no citywide rollout denominator.
- **Authority:** Detect GPS emergency vehicle and apply preset green priority.
- **Included/excluded rationale:** g0 district/pilot and A0 fixed-rule response.
- **Supporting original source IDs:** SRC-002
### TECH-006: Taipei smart drainage pumps alone
- **Domain:** WAT; T=1; A=0; c=1; g=1; W coverage; status: operating production.
- **Territory and reach:** All 88 stations, same WAT bucket as predictive flood system.
- **Authority:** Pump starts on predetermined water-level thresholds; city controls.
- **Included/excluded rationale:** A0 and no double credit when more capable WAT flood forecast wins.
- **Supporting original source IDs:** SRC-003
### TECH-007: Social welfare AI disaster call outreach
- **Domain:** HLT; T=2; A=1; c=.35; g=0; D coverage; status: recent service; coverage unverified.
- **Territory and reach:** Service addressed to vulnerable elderly; eligible population and successful reached denominator unavailable.
- **Authority:** AI-assisted identification and routing of elder needs to human case workers.
- **Included/excluded rationale:** g0: not yet proven material HLT network.
- **Supporting original source IDs:** SRC-010

## Autonomy C/D test
No verified independently selected operational actions in two material service domains. Citywide/model-based advice, AI speech recognition, surveillance flags, rule-based pump or traffic-priority actuations, and local research prototypes are not automatically A2. See `autonomy_operating_test.csv`.

## Geographic and historical exclusions
Taipei City, not neighboring New Taipei City, nor the greater Taipei metro area. Operational, trial, announced, discontinued and unverified installations are tracked separately. The 21 descriptive domains do not create additional weighted credit.

## Sensitivity / next-higher classification
If AI enhancement in hotline is only a pilot and does not yet operate throughout substantial government customer service, GOV T2/1 drops to T1/0; Taipei still retains two intelligent MOB+WAT domains. If MOB intelligent signal network fails N geographic gate (143 sites too little spread), Type 2 two-domain gate becomes vulnerable. Level C cannot be awarded just because score >10; only mobility is even a plausible A2 candidate; WAT pumps are fixed-rule, government AI is advice.

## Editor checks before publication
- Verify the candidate N/W coverage numerator and denominator for each score-winning deployment; ask operators for current counts, use and operating continuity.
- Obtain independent operational decision/control evidence before Level C consideration.
- Confirm city vs district identity and avoid parent municipality or regional network score inflation.
- Keep this edition provisional and import without duplicate canonical records; publishing requires an explicit Sites-side action.
