Guro-gu, Preventing Alleyway Accidents with AI Technology

Establishment of 'Alleyway Pedestrian Safety Assistant' Using CCTV... Pilot Operation Around Dongguro Elementary and Guro Middle Schools... Residents, District Office, and Experts' "Seuseuro Haegyeoldan" Participate Throughout the Project... Resident Promotion and Survey on the 31st of This Month

[Asia Economy Reporter Park Jong-il] Guro-gu (Mayor Lee Sung) has built and begun pilot operation of a ‘Alleyway Pedestrian Safety Assistant’ that uses artificial intelligence technology to predict collision risks in alleyways in advance.

Guro-gu announced on the 28th, “Last year, we were selected for the ‘Resident Empathy On-site Problem Solving Contest Project’ jointly conducted by the Ministry of Science and ICT and the Ministry of the Interior and Safety, and have been promoting this project.”

The pilot installation area is around Dongguro Elementary School and Guro Middle School (around 90-2 Guro-dong).

The ‘Alleyway Pedestrian Safety Assistant’ collects alleyway video information through CCTV and recognizes pedestrians, motorcycles, cars, etc. through artificial intelligence (AI) learning. When a collision risk is predicted, it activates a red warning light and LED notification system to alert road users.

This project was carried out in a living lab manner with the ‘Self-Solution Team’ composed of residents, the district office, and experts working together throughout the entire process from system development to site selection.

The living lab is a method where residents think about inconveniences in daily life and provide ideas such as solutions, and the district office solves the problems based on Internet of Things technology together with experts.

Currently, at the expert technology development stage, learning data is being collected through CCTV, gathering various object information such as cars, pedestrians, and bicycles.

On the 31st, Guro-gu plans to guide the alleyway pedestrian safety assistant notification system to students and parents at Dongguro Elementary School and conduct a survey to reflect residents’ opinions.

A Guro-gu official said, “We hope for the active interest and participation of students and parents of Dongguro Elementary and Guro Middle School in this project to prevent alleyway accidents,” and added, “We will continue to do our best to create a safe and comfortable Smart Guro using Internet of Things technology.”
