Yangcheon-gu, Seoul's First Digital Twin Administrative Service Model Established in Anyangcheon Area

[Seoul Autonomous District News] Development of Digital Platform for Administrative Services, Completion of Population Flow Sensors at 13 Sites in Anyangcheon & Collaboration with LX to Establish Digital Twin Administrative Infrastructure for Urban Problem Analysis and Prediction

Yangcheon-gu Digital Twin Demonstration Event

[Asia Economy Reporter Jongil Park] Yangcheon-gu (Mayor Kigye Lee) announced that it has completed the construction of a digital twin platform capable of scientific analysis and prediction across the entire Yangcheon-gu, the first in Seoul, and held a city annual meeting based on the digital twin on the 23rd.

This achievement was made about a year after Yangcheon-gu was selected in July last year for the Korean-style digital twin standard model expansion local government contest, combining aerial photography data of a 5.4 km, 350,000㎡ section from Yanghwa Bridge to Ogeum Bridge on the left bank of Anyangcheon Stream with the already established Seoul S-Map data, and signing a business agreement with Korea Land and Geospatial Informatix Corporation (LX) in October last year.

With this, Yangcheon-gu can utilize the constructed digital twin platform to integrate various administrative data and phenomenon information (IoT), enabling simulations for solving urban problems such as safety, disaster, and traffic, supporting scientific policy decision-making, and urban monitoring.

First, virtual buildings are implemented on the digital twin platform’s bird’s-eye view, allowing for the efficient arrangement of urban spaces and pre-analysis of sunlight exposure and views, which can be used when establishing district unit plans.

In particular, regarding the recently approved district unit review of the Mokdong residential development district, when reconstruction is completed and the number of households increases from the current 26,000 to about 53,000, more than doubling, the anticipated traffic congestion issues will be analyzed and predicted through the digital twin platform by constructing new bypass roads and various methods, which will be utilized for road expansion or new construction, and will also serve as a reference to minimize sunlight and view disputes during reconstruction.

Additionally, related to Anyangcheon specialized services, plans include ▲ monitoring Anyangcheon water levels ▲ utilizing floating population detection sensors, especially by installing floating population analysis sensors at 13 locations along Anyangcheon, inputting data such as the number of visitors, average stay time, and movement routes collected within the measurement sections into the digital twin platform, which is expected to contribute to improving residents’ convenience by creating exercise equipment or green spaces along Anyangcheon in the future.

Furthermore, regarding recent issues such as safety and emergency disasters, the digital twin space will be used to simulate real-time water level monitoring of rivers and disaster situations in advance, enabling preemptive prediction of damage caused by flooding and effectively responding to disaster situations.

Mayor Kigye Lee of Yangcheon-gu said, “I am truly pleased to be able to actually implement and experience the urban space transforming into a future-oriented Yangcheon-gu,” adding, “We will do our best to make Yangcheon-gu a safe and livable city by utilizing digital twin technology in various fields such as safety, disaster, and traffic.”
