[Asia Economy Reporter Eunmo Koo] KT announced on the 10th that it will participate in the ‘2021 Seoul Smart Mobility Expo (SSME 2021)’ held at the Culture Depot in Mapo-gu, Seoul, until the 12th.

At SSME 2021, hosted by the Seoul Metropolitan Government, KT operates an exhibition hall under the theme ‘Smart Mobility Partner, KT’ and presents its future mobility vision as a ‘Digico’. The KT exhibition hall is composed of three zones: ▲Autonomous Driving Platform ▲Mobility Service Platform ▲IVI (In-Vehicle Infotainment) Platform.

The ‘Autonomous Driving Platform’ zone showcases KT’s next-generation technology realizing safe autonomous driving. Here, visitors can experience a Jeju Island navigation demonstration utilizing ‘video analysis solutions’ and ‘precise positioning technology’. Through this, visitors can experience ‘C-ITS (Next-Generation Intelligent Transportation System)’, which enables real-time two-way communication between vehicles and between vehicles and roads. Additionally, visitors can encounter the ‘Mobility Makers’ platform providing autonomous driving services for various moving objects, as well as autonomous driving robots such as quarantine robots and hotel robot solutions that support contactless services.

In the ‘Mobility Service Platform’ zone, next-generation mobility B2B solutions are demonstrated. For the first time, the ‘Unmanned Traffic Management (UTM)’ platform controlling Urban Air Mobility (UAM), a future aerial mobility means such as drone taxis, is introduced. Visitors can also directly experience mobile app-based payment and battery exchange of EV two-wheelers through the ‘Battery Swap System (BSS)’ platform. Furthermore, the ‘Electric Vehicle Specialized Control System (EVSS)’, which provides services specialized for electric vehicles such as real-time battery status monitoring, is organized for easy understanding by visitors.

The ‘IVI Platform’ zone welcomes visitors with KT’s various entertainment and navigation information system solutions that can be enjoyed inside the car. Visitors can experience the in-vehicle ‘Genie Music Streaming’ service first applied to Hyundai’s Genesis vehicles such as the GV70, and KT’s AI-based vehicle-linked solution ‘AI Mobility Infotainment’, which KT provides to automakers for the first time in Korea. Additionally, KT introduced ‘GiGATwin Traffic’, a traffic prediction solution reflecting the ever-changing urban traffic conditions.

KT is expanding new future mobility services with AI-based digital platform technology capabilities and plans to strengthen its attack on the mobility platform market by leveraging SSME 2021 as an opportunity.

Song Jae-ho, Vice President and Head of KT AI·DX Convergence Business Division, said, “At SSME 2021, KT aims to introduce the mobility platform that has been provided to B2B partners such as vehicle manufacturers to general consumers,” adding, “We hope visitors to SSME 2021 will directly experience future mobility solutions and feel the transformation of Digico KT.”
