AI Monitors Emergency Vehicle Passage in Real Time

Geumcheon-gu Installs 'Smart Illegal Parking Alert' to Protect Golden Time in Emergencies... AI System Provides Real-Time Alerts for Illegal Parking in Emergency Vehicle Routes... Traffic Data Collection Enabled by IoT Sensors and Intelligent CCTV

[Asia Economy Reporter Park Jong-il] Geumcheon-gu (Mayor Yu Seong-hoon) is conducting a pilot operation by installing the ‘Smart Illegal Parking Notification System’ at two fire lanes in low-rise residential areas to protect the golden time in emergency situations.

To solve the difficulty of emergency vehicles such as fire trucks and ambulances passing through low-rise residential areas, the district collaborated with Guro Geumcheon Fire Station and installed the ‘Smart Illegal Parking Notification System’ in front of the Siheung 4-dong Outlet Mart (32 Doksan-ro 40-gil) and in front of Munseong Elementary School in Doksan 3-dong (18 Siheung-daero 146-gil).

The target locations are narrow alleyways where even a single illegally parked vehicle makes it difficult for fire trucks to enter. Although these roads are designated as fire lanes where parking is prohibited to ensure quick dispatch in case of fire or emergency, the rule is often not followed, causing ongoing anxiety among residents.

The ‘Smart Illegal Parking Notification System’ is an AI service that protects emergency vehicle routes blocked by illegal parking. When illegal parking is detected on the fire lane, it provides real-time guidance for moving the vehicle through speaker voice announcements (during the day) and logo projector lighting (at night).

If the vehicle is not moved within 5 minutes, an alert is sent to parking enforcement officers via an app to support prompt follow-up action.

Additionally, IoT sensors and intelligent CCTV collect traffic data such as ‘vehicle traffic volume in alleyways,’ ‘number of illegal parking incidents,’ and ‘pedestrian traffic volume,’ which can be utilized for developing big data-based smart services.

The district plans to analyze the accident prevention effects and outcomes through the pilot operation and gradually expand the installation of the system in the future.

Yu Seong-hoon, Mayor of Geumcheon-gu, said, “We are continuously implementing various projects such as smart pedestrian signals to prevent ‘smombie’ accidents and runway-type crosswalks to create a field-centered smart city that protects residents’ pedestrian safety,” adding, “We will build Geumcheon-gu as a leader of the Korean-style Digital New Deal based on smart infrastructure.”

Meanwhile, in July, the district was selected for the Ministry of the Interior and Safety’s ‘Resident Life Innovation Case Expansion Support Project’ and secured 120 million KRW in project funds to promote the creation of a safe smart IoT pedestrian path by the end of the year.
