Korail Conducts Preference Survey on 'Railway Public Data'

Korea Railroad Corporation (KORAIL) announced on the 23rd that it will conduct a public preference survey to provide railway data desired by the public.

This survey aims to prioritize the release of highly preferred data selected from the nationwide railway public data demand survey conducted last May. The target data includes 10 types such as △train operation schedules △status of facility installations within stations △station parking lot status △station plaza status.

The survey will be available for participation on the KORAIL website for three weeks from the 26th of this month until the 14th of next month. KORAIL will draw 20 participants by lottery and provide them with a small gifticon.

KORAIL provides 181 types of data including train operation and passenger transport statistics through the Public Data Portal. Last year, it opened highly utilized data such as the ‘Ticket Authenticity Verification Inquiry Service’ and ‘Tourism Information Analysis for Five Major Domestic Cities.’

In particular, the ‘Tourism Information Analysis’ data is based on tourists’ △train usage △card transaction records △telecommunication usage to analyze travel patterns. This data is being used by travel agencies to develop new products that require information on tourism demand.
