[Asia Economy Reporter Lim Hye-seon] LG Uplus announced on the 8th that it has completed the 'Smart Station' construction project for Seoul Metro Line 8, which it won last year.

The Smart Station construction for Line 8, which began last year, is a project to upgrade the monitoring system operated at 18 stations through intelligent CCTV and 3D maps. Station staff can quickly grasp and respond to passenger movements and accident situations within the stations, improving the efficiency of station operations.

The LG Uplus and Haitron consortium completed the Smart Station by building a digital twin that reproduces the 18 Line 8 stations in virtual space, intelligent CCTV that eliminates blind spots within the stations, and radar that can detect safety accidents such as passengers staying abnormally long or collapsing in restrooms, enabling quick information identification and response in emergencies to ensure passenger convenience.

In addition, a wired network environment was established within the stations, linked with the railway integrated wireless network (LTE-R), and connected with the subway Lines 1 to 4 system (IP-MPLS network) to enhance connectivity.

LG Uplus, the only telecommunications company participating in the Smart Station construction project, previously completed the Smart Station construction for Seoul Metro Line 2 (51 stations) in 2019, followed by Line 8. It plans to participate in the upcoming Smart Station projects for Lines 5, 6, and 7 to contribute to advancing railway infrastructure.
