[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Choi Jae-ho] On the 21st, Gyeongju City announced that it has established a 'Diesel Vehicle Operation Restriction System' using crime prevention vehicle license plate recognition closed-circuit television (CCTV), achieving a budget saving of 230 million KRW.

The crime prevention vehicle license plate recognition CCTV recognizes license plates in real time and is installed at 93 locations throughout Gyeongju to enable prompt response in emergencies such as crimes.

Originally, the city planned to spend 300 million KRW to newly install eight CCTV units for monitoring old diesel vehicles, but through interdepartmental consultation, they avoided additional expenses by linking with existing vehicle license plate recognition CCTV.

Instead of the 300 million KRW project cost, only 70 million KRW was spent on a linked server to build the 'Diesel Vehicle Operation Restriction System,' and the annual maintenance cost of 24 million KRW will also be reduced as a bonus.

Lee Dae-woo, head of the Information and Communication Department of Gyeongju City, said, "The diesel vehicle operation restriction enforcement system using vehicle crime prevention CCTV is a good example of protecting citizen safety as well as citizens' health from fine dust," adding, "We will continue to collaborate with other departments to utilize Gyeongju City's already installed and operating informatization systems to save budget."

Meanwhile, vehicle license plate numbers collected through crime prevention vehicle license plate recognition CCTV are provided to the police only for the purposes of preventing and suppressing serious crimes and investigations, in accordance with the Personal Information Protection Act.
