[Asia Economy Reporter Lim Hye-seon] LG Uplus (U+) announced on the 3rd that it has launched the 'U+ Smart Radar' service within the facilities of the National Baekdudaegan Arboretum in Bonghwa-gun, Gyeongbuk, under the Korea National Arboretum Garden Management Office. U+ Smart Radar is a service that uses a 77GHz radar sensor for autonomous vehicles to monitor accident risk situations in real time. It detects various movements such as falls, posture, and routes with 98% accuracy, even in blind spots not covered by CCTV and in dark environments. Since human movements are simply represented as pictograms, personal information is protected and there is no concern about privacy invasion.

LG Uplus signed a business agreement with the National Baekdudaegan Arboretum last April to support biodiversity conservation activities and has completed installation work at major arboretum facilities such as the seed vault, seed bank, and public restrooms. In particular, the seed vault at the National Baekdudaegan Arboretum is a national security facility and, along with the Norwegian Svalbard Seed Vault, is one of only two permanent plant seed preservation facilities in the world. Unlike the Svalbard Seed Vault, which stores seeds of food crops, the National Baekdudaegan Arboretum seed vault permanently preserves wild plant seeds.

Additionally, U+ Smart Radar has been installed in public restrooms used by visitors to the arboretum, enabling quick response when problems occur in restrooms located several kilometers away from the visitor center.

Meanwhile, U+ Smart Radar is installed in restrooms on Line 8 of the Seoul subway as part of the subway's Smart Station project. It is also planned to be installed on Line 9 of the Seoul subway.
