– On the 8th, Sejong City and Korea Water Resources Corporation signed a smart disaster response technical cooperation agreement –
situation # 1. Jecheon due to flash flood, When Bangchukcheon overflowed and water filled the nearby underpass, artificial intelligence(AI)Automatically detects this situation in real time. Then, as soon as artificial intelligence detects additional pedestrians and vehicles around the site, an alarm sounds., Detour routes are automatically propagated through electronic signboards around the site..
situation # 2. Due to heavy rain, the water level in the upper reaches of the Geumgang River suddenly surges.. The extent of damage caused by river flooding in the middle and lower reaches of the Geumgang River is displayed in real time on the monitoring screen installed in the Sejong City Integrated Urban Information Center..
Smart disaster response technology using cutting-edge technologies such as digital twin technology and artificial intelligence (AI), which simulates situations that can occur in reality against the background of virtual reality, which is identical to the real world, will be introduced to Sejong.
On the 8th, Sejong Special Self-Governing City (Mayor Choi Min-ho) signed a business agreement with the Korea Water Resources Corporation at the executive conference room on the 4th floor of the Korea Water Resources Corporation in Daejeon for technical cooperation in smart disaster response based on digital technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI).
This agreement was prepared to achieve Sejong City's cutting-edge smart city future vision and lead the digital platform government by utilizing Korea Water Resources Corporation's cutting-edge water management technology.
Under the agreement, the city will provide facilities within its jurisdiction as a test bed for technology development, and Korea Water Resources Corporation will cooperate in strengthening water disaster response capabilities, such as preventing road flooding damage, through digital technology support and development in the water management field.
The main contents of the agreement include developing and building smart disaster response solutions based on digital technology, such as artificial intelligence (AI) risk detection solutions, and discovering and promoting cooperation using digital technologies, such as water management and disaster response.
In particular, by introducing an artificial intelligence (AI)-based smart disaster response solution, it will be possible to recognize situations in real time that are difficult to identify through existing closed-circuit (CC) TV screens alone.
For example, if the AI CCTV risk detection technology being developed by the Korea Water Resources Corporation is applied to Sejong City, it is expected that rapid disaster response will be possible before damage such as flooding or isolation occurs due to unpredictable water disasters such as flash floods.
The two organizations plan to expand cooperation by forming and operating a working council in the future to implement the tasks of the agreement and discover and specify additional cooperation matters.
Mayor Choi Min-ho said, “I hope that the close cooperative relationship between Sejong City and Korea Water Resources Corporation will be further strengthened through this agreement,” and “I hope that smart disaster response solutions will be quickly introduced so that citizens can live in a safer environment.” said.
