Korean Smart City Project

20.07.25./ Korea Agency for Infrastructure Technology Advancement (KAIA)

    The world is now eager to build smart cities. The Netherlands is in the form of a living lab, Singapore is using digital twin technology, and Canada is combining autonomous vehicles with new technologies to create new cities. We, an IT powerhouse, are also trying to evolve cities in various cities such as Sejong and Busan, Daegu and Siheung.
A Korean smart city project that connects space, time and humans is in full swing.
  A month after the outbreak of COVID-19, as the number of confirmed cases surged at the end of February, the government began building a system to support epidemiological investigations of COVID-2 in earnest in March, and the core technology used was the 'Smart City Data Hub Program' that MOLIT was developing. Smart City Data Hub technology is a platform that collects, stores, analyzes, and distributes massive city data to intelligently support city services. If this system is used, no matter how large-scale corona expansion occurs, the route is automatically displayed on the map. By applying the data hub technology to the Corona 3 epidemiological investigation system, it was confirmed that the research time that previously took more than 19 hours was analyzed in just 19 minutes.
  Smart city is a platform on which various advanced technologies such as drones, autonomous vehicles, electric vehicles, and unmanned parcels are developed and applied. A data-based city is built, and various types of models such as transportation, safety facility management, environment, energy, healthcare, etc. are actually applied through the city and are undergoing a demonstration stage. Representative cities are Siheung and Daegu. Daegu has created a'city problem discovery team' in which citizens voluntarily participated to freely find various urban problems and provide practical solutions with experts.
Siheung City is characterized by following a data marketplace using data that can create an industrial ecosystem where business models or startups can occur, and a living lab-type demonstration method created by citizens.

Gyeonggi-do starts building digital safety infrastructure with smart glass

20.07.28. / Gyeonggi-do
 
  Gyeonggi Province announced on the 28th that it will be promoting the'Remote Safety Inspection System Construction Project using Internet of Things (IoT)-based Smart Glasses' in earnest. This project is a project to actively solve the increase in safety inspection demand for dangerous facilities around living such as old houses, bridges, ridges and retaining walls by combining innovative IT technologies such as smart glasses, IoT sensors, and augmented reality technologies. When an employee wearing glasses-type smart glasses looks at the facility's risk factors at the site, experts share videos without going to the site and consult real-time maintenance and reinforcement measures. When the Dodo system is completed, it is expected that the safety inspection limit for a large area of ​​the Gyeonggi area will be overcome, as well as the participation of the'Safety Management Advisory Group', a private expert, to inspect facilities.
