Samjong KPMG Consortium Selected as Consulting Firm for Autonomous Vehicle Information System Development

[Asia Economy Reporter Park Jihwan] The Samjeong KPMG consortium announced on the 22nd that it has been selected as the consulting company for the autonomous vehicle information system construction by the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport.

The Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport plans to design the Cooperative Intelligent Transport Systems (C-ITS) on major roads nationwide starting this year as part of the Korean New Deal. It will build an information system to organize the public infrastructure system in preparation for the future car era.

The Korea Transportation Safety Authority under the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport is preparing the autonomous cooperative driving certification management system information system, and the consortium led by Samjeong KPMG will be responsible for the development and consulting of the system. The consortium includes Samjeong KPMG and Korea Electronic Certification, among others.

The Samjeong KPMG consortium will derive safe linkage plans among traffic infrastructure, vehicle manufacturers, and drivers, conduct qualitative and quantitative effect reviews, and analyze business feasibility. It will also ensure security by designing physical, managerial, and technical security systems according to international standards and establish phased technology application scopes and development plans.

This project will carry out tasks such as design and introduction strategy establishment, operation and maintenance, security measures preparation, legal and institutional establishment, and adequacy review by the end of this year. It plans to establish phased plans including Phase 1 autonomous cooperative driving certification management system construction (2022?2023), Phase 2 stabilization (2023), and Phase 3 expansion (2024 and beyond).

Jung Daegil, head of the consulting division at Samjeong KPMG, said, "Korea is building autonomous vehicle infrastructure faster than anywhere else in the world, but consideration for user convenience is still insufficient. Since the national autonomous cooperative driving certification management system forms the foundation for all autonomous vehicle infrastructure utilization, we expect this consulting to be the basis for opening a safe autonomous driving era."
