Seoul Metropolitan Government to prevent pedestrian accidents and unauthorized dumping of garbage at night... Expanding smart smart playback2021.02.10. / Seoul City

  The city of Seoul has applied smart technologies to parking lots, crosswalks, and alleys in urban renewal New Deal areas, where infrastructure is weak, to solve local problems that residents want. A'runway type crosswalk' was installed in Mok 3-dong, Yangcheon-gu, where crosswalks were usually difficult to see at night. LED lights that turn on automatically at night are buried like runway guide lights on both sides of the crosswalk to prevent pedestrian accidents. In addition, a surveillance camera equipped with a sensor is being installed in a place that has been troubled by the habitual unauthorized dumping of garbage to send out public warning broadcasts. This change was realized through the ``Life-oriented Urban Regeneration Smart Technology Support Project'' launched last year by Seoul Metropolitan Government and MOLIT. It is a project to improve living conditions in areas with weak infrastructure such as safety and firefighting, transportation, energy and environment, and life and welfare by solving local problems discovered by residents with smart technology that is highly sensible and easy to commercialize.
