Jeonnam Police Take Initiative to Prevent Traffic Accidents and Enhance Public Convenience Through Traffic Information Sharing

Hyundai Motor Group and Navigation Companies Collaborate on Traffic Safety Initiatives

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Chunsu] Jeonnam Provincial Police Agency announced on the 6th that it will collaborate with Hyundai Motor Group and navigation companies to prevent traffic accidents and improve public convenience.

To this end, since September last year, an agreement was made to share traffic information with Hyundai Motor Group and navigation companies nationwide.

According to the agreement, Jeonnam Provincial Police Agency newly added and updated traffic information such as speed limits, school zones, one-way streets, center line modifications, and U-turn permissions, and immediately provided it to the companies.

Hyundai Motor Group decided to reflect this information in all traffic safety-related systems including navigation in all vehicles they produce, and nationwide navigation companies such as T map, Naver, KakaoNavi, Hyundai MnSoft, Thinkware (iNavi), and Mappers also agreed to incorporate it into their own navigation systems.

Once this latest traffic information is reflected, drivers will be able to quickly and easily access traffic safety-related information, enabling safer driving and allowing them to take faster routes to their destinations, resulting in reduced arrival times and improved fuel efficiency.

The traffic information has been reflected in vehicles produced by Hyundai Motor Group and nationwide navigation companies since January 2021, and especially, speed limit information related to the nationwide implementation of the ‘Safe Speed 5030’ policy starting April 17 will also be incorporated.

Previously, navigation companies mostly collected traffic information on their own, which made it difficult to gather accurate traffic data.

Kim Sinjo, head of the Traffic Division, stated, “I think it is very meaningful to be the first in the nation to promote collaboration with large corporations related to traffic safety, and we will continue to share traffic information with companies to do our best in preventing traffic fatalities and improving public convenience.”
