[Asia Economy Reporter Moon Jiwon] The Korea Transportation Safety Authority announced on the 16th that it has signed a business agreement with Incheon International Airport Corporation to "prevent traffic accidents within the airport."

This business agreement was established to systematically manage the safety of vehicles and drivers operating within the airport.

Both organizations agreed to cooperate in vehicle inspections for transportation means within the airport, strengthening driver safety education, and road safety evaluation projects.

Accordingly, the Authority will support automobile inspections and consulting for approximately 1,600 vehicles operating within Incheon Airport and promote customized traffic safety experience education for drivers, including video training and practical evaluation courses.

Currently, the internal roads of Incheon Airport are classified as areas outside roads under the Road Traffic Act, so vehicles operating there are not required to undergo regular automobile inspections under the Automobile Management Act.

To resolve this safety blind spot, the Authority plans to directly conduct automobile inspections for vehicles operating within the airport or provide the appropriateness of inspection results for vehicles that have undergone self-inspections.

Kwon Byung-yoon, Chairman of the Authority, said, "Through this business agreement, we expect a synergy effect by utilizing the technology and infrastructure possessed by both organizations," adding, "We will continue to discover various projects to eliminate traffic safety blind spots such as airports and apartment complexes."
