[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Hwang Du-yeol] Busan Facilities Corporation recently completed the construction of an integrated safety monitoring platform based on the ‘5G Communication Digital Twin’ for the Jagalchi Market modernization building and upgraded it as a safety management facility.

The corporation was selected in May for a Ministry of Science and ICT public project and has been promoting the ‘5G Communication Digital Twin’ project since then.

The project applied the technology called ‘Digital Twin,’ which builds actual facilities into a virtual three-dimensional space incorporating artificial intelligence and big data to visualize them.

This technology allows various infrastructures and services that are difficult to apply directly due to cost and time issues to be simulated in advance in a three-dimensional space.

Through this project, the corporation built a digital twin of the Jagalchi Market modernization building, which has high citizen usage and requires important building safety management.

The main content of the project includes a 5G-based seawater quality and air quality measurement and analysis service.

The service collects seawater inflow and air pollution levels at Jagalchi Market in real time using Internet of Things (IoT) devices, analyzes big data, and automatically manages and controls the water intake and air conditioning systems.

In addition, in case of fire, it provides the optimal escape route using artificial intelligence algorithms and offers international standard 3D modeling data as a cloud server-based convergence service, enabling integrated control services regardless of location.

The corporation stated that it has simultaneously achieved two goals by driving private-led innovative growth through leading demand creation in public institutions with this new technology and advancing the safety management of Jagalchi Market.

A corporation official said, “We will actively apply digital twin, AI (artificial intelligence), and other technologies to major facilities of the corporation to create a safe and comfortable urban environment for citizens and do our best to further innovate the corporation in the era of digital transformation.”

The corporation formed a consortium with Busan City, Busan IT Industry Promotion Agency, Samwoo Immersion, Neotek, and other local companies and institutions in Busan and was selected for the Ministry of Science and ICT public project in May.

With a total investment of about 2 billion KRW, including 1.6 billion KRW in national funds, the modernization building of Jagalchi Market was constructed using digital twin new technologies such as 5th generation (5G) communication, AI, real-time information collection (IoT sensors), and virtual space implementation (3D modeling).
