[Asia Economy Reporter Jongil Park] “Using advanced technology to analyze pedestrian and vehicle movements to prevent alleyway accidents!”

Guro-gu (Mayor Lee Seong) is establishing an artificial intelligence system called the ‘Alleyway Pedestrian Safety Assistant’ that predicts collisions at alley corners.

Guro-gu announced on the 28th that it plans to implement a collision prediction and prevention system in accident-prone areas and has been selected for the ‘Science and Technology Utilization Regional Problem Solving Contest Project’ promoted by the Ministry of the Interior and Safety and the Ministry of Science and ICT, receiving budget support.

The ‘Alleyway Pedestrian Safety Assistant’ installs an AI system linked with intelligent CCTV in narrow alleyways to analyze the movements of pedestrians and vehicles. When a collision is predicted, it alerts the danger situation through an LED notification system. It uses AI technologies such as deep learning to predict various collision scenarios involving objects moving at different speeds, such as pedestrians, bicycles, and electric kickboards.

The system development will be undertaken by the ‘Seuseuro Haegyeoldan’ (Self-Solution Team), composed of the district office, residents, and experts. The installation locations will be selected using a living lab, a problem-solving research lab utilizing smart technology.

Guro-gu will invest a total of 600 million KRW from national and district funds for research and development, pilot installation, and operational expansion.

A Guro-gu official stated, “After system research and development and pilot installation this year, we plan to begin full-scale operation in the first half of next year. We will do our best to create a smart city Guro where residents can live more safely and comfortably.”

On the 27th, a business agreement ceremony for the Science and Technology Utilization Regional Problem Solving Contest Project was held at the Government Sejong Convention Center. Attendees included Mayor Lee Seong, Vice Minister Yoon Jong-in of the Ministry of the Interior and Safety, First Vice Minister Jeong Byeong-seon of the Ministry of Science and ICT, and other officials. The ceremony included signing the business agreement and a kickoff briefing.
