Jeonbuk Provincial Office of Education Introduces Automatic Recognition System for School Zones
Applications Accepted Until the 21st, Pilot School Operation for Automatic Recognition Device Installation at One Selected Elementary School
[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Hong Jaehee] The Jeonbuk Provincial Office of Education is set to introduce an automatic recognition system to prevent student safety accidents in school zones in advance.
On the 4th, the Office of Education announced that it plans to operate pilot schools installing automatic recognition devices to prevent safety accidents in advance by utilizing new technologies of the 4th Industrial Revolution era for student safety.
To this end, the Office of Education will promote smart student safety by using IoT (Internet of Things)-based wireless communication device (beacon) technology for pre-alerts in school zones and notifications related to commuting information.
This system distributes beacons to elementary school students with their consent for personal information. When a student carrying a beacon approaches a school zone, the electronic display installed on road signs notifies drivers in advance of the presence of students, encouraging safe driving.
The wireless communication device (beacon) is being utilized in various fields such as elderly care, emergency alerts, mountain rescue, and prevention of missing dementia patients.
The Office of Education will accept applications from elementary schools wishing to install the facilities until the 21st of this month, and will select one pilot school next month to support with 50 million KRW.
