"離島渡輪航運在主要台灣本島及其沿海主要離島間的海上運輸服務中扮演重要的角色。離島航運運輸服務提供當地的弱勢群體或地區提供較低成本的運輸，滿足台灣離島上無特殊權益的社區交通需求。然而由於載客量低，渡輪航運路線經常處於經營虧損的狀態。但因為離島渡輪航運是輔助當地社會發展的必要運輸工具，不是全然的商業行為。因此，政府需要增加財務補助於渡輪航運的經營虧損及投資。由於低載客量渡輪航線的預算及資源是有限的，這項研究預計提出一種方法以協助政府制定如何在有限預算下根據績效表現補貼個別低載客量渡輪航線。此外，這項研究亦擬建立一套模式協助政府決定在個別低載客量海上輪渡公司取得補貼金額後，相對應在未來一年需達到的營運目標。因此，為構建一個合理測量渡輪航運系統的績效評估方法，本計畫的第一年先建立合理的績效衡量方法及模式－兩階段網路DEA 方法。在第二年，基於第一年的兩階段網路DEA 模式，修正具有缺點的兩階段中央化資料包絡分析模式為單階段中央化資料包絡分析模式，建立一可合理的在決策單位間作資源分配的資源分配模式。在計畫的第三年，我們提出了一個結合第一年和第二年的模型網絡DEA 方法及單階段中央化DEA 模型為基礎的資源分配及目標設定模式。此結果預期對於台灣離島渡輪航運在補貼預算分配政策上，能提供有效的參考。""Offshore ferry transportation plays an important role in offshore transportation services between mainland and its offshore islands. Offshore ferry services help satisfy the transport needs of underprivileged communities on offshore islands by providing below-cost transportation to “locationally disadvantaged” groups or regions. Particularly low volume routes frequently operate at a loss because they are socially necessary but not commercially viable. Thus, the government offers financial support for offshore ferry routes as operating losses and investment needs increase. Because budgetary resources for low volume ferry routes are limited, this study offers a method to help governments set targets for individual low volume ferry routes with regard to future performance. Furthermore, this study helps determine which targets should be linked to government resources allocated to individual low volume offshore ferry firms. Following this criterion, the study discusses public transportation subsidy policies and evaluates whether the current ferry subsidies policy is adequate in Taiwan. To construct a reasonable performance measurement for gauging ferry system operations, the first year of this project intend to introduce a new analysis to the existing empirical literature. In such cases, we have to determine the performance of ferries in each process. In the second year, we examine how to balance the two approaches (singleand two-phase)) and level off the reallocation and intensity vectors. To deal with this inconsistency, we intend to propose a single phase centralized DEA model which is more reasonable to do the resource reallocation among those DMUs. In the third year of this project, we propose a network DEA based single-phase centralized DEA model which combine the first year and second year models to illustrate how the proposed single-phase network centralized DEA model can be successfully applied to the ferry subsidy allocation. The results may provide valuable suggestions for ferry firm subsidy budget allocation policies in Taiwan."
