"Notice. Currently, the area around the Dongho waterfront stage at Seokchon Lake is congested, so we kindly ask those nearby to move carefully." This announcement will be broadcast in crowded areas of Songpa-gu starting this August.

Songpa-gu (Mayor Seo Gang-seok) announced plans to establish a ‘Multi-Crowd Convergence Analysis Platform’ within the year at key locations where sudden crowd congestion may occur, and has currently entered the stage of selecting a service provider.

The ‘Multi-Crowd Convergence Analysis Platform’ is a system that uses big data technology to prevent safety accidents. The collected information is linked to the Songpa-gu CCTV Integrated Control Center for real-time monitoring, and in case of dangerous situations, it is transmitted to related agencies such as fire stations and police stations.

The district plans to build four systems for the organic operation of the analysis platform.

First, CCTV and LiDAR for crowd and cluster detection will be installed. The CCTV and LiDAR installed in densely populated areas automatically adjust according to the shooting range and serve as basic data for video analysis.

The pedestrian congestion alert system includes LED electronic display boards and broadcasts videos and messages with different colors to indicate levels of congestion?interest, caution, warning, and severe?when sudden crowding occurs. When the density exceeds 6 people per 1㎡, voice guidance is provided to encourage people to leave the overcrowded area.

The intelligent and LiDAR software is a program capable of counting the floating population. Through sensor recognition, it can estimate the floating population by major entry and exit directions and even distinguish between adults, children, and elderly.

Based on all these systems, a crowd management analysis platform will be established. Attribute data from intelligent CCTV and LiDAR will be displayed on a GIS (Geographic Information System) and linked into an integrated platform. The analysis results will be sent to related agencies such as fire stations, police stations, and the Seoul Metropolitan Government.

The platform installation locations have been set at six sites within the district where high floating populations may cause sudden crowd congestion. These include ▲Bangi-dong Food Alley ▲Three locations at Seokchon Lake (northeast entrance, north side, southwest side) ▲Exit 5 of Jamsil Sports Complex ▲Olympic Park Station as priority sites.

In addition, the district plans to strengthen residents’ safety against various disasters and crimes by installing 330 additional security CCTVs at 110 locations selected through big data analysis this year.

Seo Gang-seok, Mayor of Songpa-gu, stated, “Through thorough prior preparation, we will carefully examine all safety factors to create a safe city, Songpa, for our residents.”
