[Asia Economy Reporter Park Hyesook] The Incheon Autonomous Police Committee and Incheon Police Agency announced on the 20th that they will invest 1 billion KRW in the second half of this year to install unmanned traffic enforcement devices at major speeding zones and accident-prone areas in Incheon to prevent traffic fatalities and ensure safe driving.


With the launch of the autonomous police system last year, the committee planned to purchase unmanned traffic enforcement devices by adding 210 million KRW from local budgets to the previously allocated 822 million KRW in national funds.


By September, the selection of companies and contract signing will be completed through a Public Procurement Service announcement, and from October, a total of 35 devices will be installed at 29 locations including Yeongjong Haeanbuk-ro. This is a significant increase compared to the 14 devices installed last year.


Specific installation locations and the number of devices can be confirmed through the administrative notice posted on the Incheon Police Agency website after October.


According to statistics from the Incheon Police Agency, the number of traffic violations detected by unmanned traffic enforcement devices last year was 1,284,205, an increase of 45.7% compared to the previous year.



Lee Byung-rok, Chairman of the Incheon Autonomous Police Committee, stated, "We will eradicate major traffic violations such as speeding and signal violations by utilizing unmanned traffic enforcement devices in response to the increasing number of traffic violations day by day."
