Collection and Analysis of Fine Dust Data, Deriving Optimal Routes for Cleaning Vehicles to Purify Fine Dust Near Bus Stops

After Selecting Operators, Installation of Large-Scale Related Measurement Sensors Planned at 80 Major Bus Stops in the Regi

Pohang City is accelerating the construction of the "Big Data-Based Air Environment Response System" following its selection in December last year for the "2023 Advanced Information Technology Utilization Public Service Promotion Contest" hosted by the Ministry of the Interior and Safety.

This project aims to discover and spread new service models that proactively introduce advanced technologies into public services for central administrative agencies, local governments, and public institutions, thereby enhancing administrative efficiency.


Currently, the project operator is being selected through the Public Procurement Service. From June to December, air-related measurement sensors will be installed at 80 major local bus stops, and data will be collected as big data. This data will be integrated with bus stop user data and road cleaning vehicle operation information to derive optimal routes for cleaning vehicles to purify fine dust near the bus stops.


In particular, the city is promoting dust policies across the urban area, such as the creation of greenways and urban forests, in response to the recent increase in fine dust. It is expected that this project will not only improve the bus stop usage environment but also support the preparation of various policies, including long-term fine dust forecasting based on the collected fine dust information.



Cho Hyun-mi, Director of the Data Information Division, said, "Big data is becoming increasingly important, regarded as a key government national agenda, and is being used as a method to solve various problems. Through this project, we will analyze more data on fine dust in Pohang City to provide citizens with a better environment."
