– 'Seoul real-time city data' released in September 22, data service expansion... Improvement of citizen convenience

– Addition of cultural event information and electric vehicle charging station information to real-time population congestion and prediction information of existing Seoul attractions

– Addition of major attractions and densely populated areas in Seoul… Expanded service locations from 50 to 113

– Anyone can use it by opening it with an open API… Expected to create technology-combined services such as metaverse and virtual reality

# Mr. A came to Seoul for sightseeing. When I checked the 'Seoul Real-Time City Data' on the Seoul Metropolitan Government's 'Open Data Plaza' website, I decided to visit Deoksugung-gil and Jeongdong-gil as the first thing to do in the morning and take pictures with the stone wall road in the background as they were crowded at 12:XNUMX noon.

 

# Developer B, who wants to develop a new metabus platform, decided to develop a virtual environment in Gwanghwamun Square in which real-time crowd, traffic information, and weather are interlocked by utilizing 'Seoul Real-Time City Data' opened through an open API.

 

□ The Seoul Metropolitan Government added real-time information such as culture and transportation to the 'Seoul Real-Time City Data' released in September 22 through the Seoul Open Data Plaza (data.seoul.go.kr/SeoulRtd/) and expanded the service offering locations. Opened on June 9st.

○ 'Seoul real-time city data' is data that comprehensively shows real-time information such as population congestion, public transportation status, road traffic status, and weather.

○ 'Seoul real-time city data' can be used by anyone, and information can be provided through various platforms such as map apps, artificial intelligence (AI) speakers, and public transportation screens.

○ 'Seoul real-time population data', which estimates the real-time population of Seoul's attractions based on communication signals from KT telecommunications companies, provides congestion along with the estimated population, and provides artificial intelligence (AI)-based predicted population for the next 12 hours.

 

□ The data opened this time provides real-time cultural event information such as the location of the event site and event period to help citizens' daily lives and tourism, and the location of the charging station and the remaining number of charging stations can be checked through the electric vehicle charging station information.

 

□ In addition, service locations have been greatly expanded from 50 to 113, including major Seoul attractions such as the Blue House, Gwanghwamun Square, Nodeul Island, and Children's Grand Park, and densely populated areas such as Seoul National University Station and Sadang Station.

 

□ The Seoul Metropolitan Government provides 'Seoul real-time city data' so that citizens and foreign tourists visiting Seoul can see it. Seoul’s representative tourism website, Visit Seoul (korean.visitseoul.net), is currently piloting a Seoul real-time tour guide service based on the data, and real-time information will be provided on the website of Hangang Park and autonomous districts.

 

□ At the same time, it will be opened in the form of an 'open API', a bundle of programming commands (source code), so that anyone, including public institutions, private companies, and developers, can use it for service development.

○ Combined with technologies such as metabus and virtual reality, population, traffic, and weather information can be conveyed realistically, and if used for coding education or IT developer education, it helps to understand data structure and easily acquire real-time data It is expected that this will be

 

□ The Seoul Metropolitan Government will continue to expand services by discovering additional real-time data through public-private collaboration, and apply 'Seoul Real-time City Data' to various fields such as dispatch to disaster sites, crowd management, and tourist information to improve the quality of public services. plan to increase.

 

□ Kim Jin-man, Digital Policy Officer of the Seoul Metropolitan Government, said, “Through the 'Seoul Real-time City Data' that will be opened this time, tourists can easily grasp real-time information to visit Seoul's attractions and cultural events, and citizens can differentiate themselves through artificial intelligence (AI) and metabus services. We expect to provide this service," he said. "We hope that developers will pay much attention and use it so that real-time city data of Seoul can be used as an important material for the future development of Seoul.”
