Smart City Issue

The'digital twin' technology used in the Avengers Iron Man is possible in reality?  

December 2020.09.07, XNUMX / MOLIT

  Iron Man Tony Stark designed an advanced suit through simulation with the help of artificial intelligence!
The technology that simulates real objects, systems, and environments in virtual space is called a'digital twin'.
It is a technology that has been used in manufacturing since the 2000s and is already used in reality. It can reduce the time and cost required to study optimization methods for factories, predict equipment failures, or produce prototypes.

  The reason digital twins are important is that experiments and predictions that are difficult to do in reality are possible. In cases where it is difficult to look inside each other, experiments that are dangerous or that cannot be done with time and money can be done at will through the digital twin. Autonomous driving using maps with 3D precision, or test drives and customizations with virtual cars are also possible.
The digital twin is further expanded here and is evolving into a gigantic smart city project that monitors and prevents any problems that may occur in the city by implementing the entire city in a virtual space.
  Korea will also utilize digital twins, and the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, and Transport will implement 15 kinds of information such as underground facilities, structures, and ground in a virtual space to monitor real-time and prevent accidents. Furthermore, it is possible to perform various simulations for solving and managing various disasters and urban problems in the virtual world by using a 3D map to create a digital land that is identical to the real world.
Smart City Policy Project

Innovative technologies and services that create smart cities begin
2020.09.08 / MOLIT  
 First 16 projects approved as smart city regulatory sandboxes implemented      

[Smart Mobility Living Lab type service overview]   
 
  The Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, and Transport holds the 8th National Smart City Committee, and is a smart city regulatory sandbox* to solve urban problems such as emergency burn medical instruction system, demand-response bus, and autonomous driving robot for patient transport. Innovative technologies and services were deliberated. 
  * A system that gives special cases for new products and services using new technologies to allow market launch, testing and verification by delaying the current regulations under certain conditions (period, place, scale) 
  A total of 7 cases, including 9 cases of empirical special cases and 7 cases without regulation, were resolved in this committee, which was held for 16 days through written review. Through this, a total of 6 difficulties in regulations related to smart city technology and services were resolved within six months of implementation.

  The Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, and Transport introduced a smart city-type regulatory sandbox system in February this year for the purpose of supporting the private sector to demonstrate or commercialize innovative technologies and services within smart cities without regulatory restrictions.

For projects approved as regulatory sandboxes, the project implementer may temporarily implement a demonstration project (within 4 years, can be extended once) in the target area to verify service effectiveness, safety and the necessity of legal maintenance.

In addition, if the project is selected as a commercialization support project in consideration of the innovation and expected effects of the project among the approved projects, a partial empirical cost of up to 5 million won for each project will be provided.

Smart City Special

The use of smart city data from the case of Toronto smart city 

The importance of social agreement

2020.09. / NIA Korea Information Society Agency
  We look at the importance of social consensus on the use of smart city data with the example of a smart city that was abruptly canceled in May after being promoted by Waterfront Toronto in Canada and Google Sidewalk Labs.
         <Policy implications>
  • As smart city services are provided using data, transparent and fair data utilization policies should be established.
    The social consensus of stakeholders such as the government, business and citizens is important
  • In order to prevent controversy such as personal information protection seen in the Toronto smart city case in advance,
    In addition to improving awareness, it is necessary to review supplementary matters at the institutional level.
  • To create public and social values ​​and discover innovative ideas for the use of smart city data,
    Induce active participation
  • By discovering various use cases for the use of smart city data, all members including supply and demand
    Need to prepare guidelines that can be easily used
