Bucheon-si Establishes AI-Based Crowd Safety Solution for Real-Time Population Density Analysis

Bucheon City in Gyeonggi Province announced on the 28th that it has completed the establishment of an 'AI Deep Learning Video Analysis-Based Crowd Safety Solution' by advancing its intelligent crime prevention CCTV and control system.

The crowd safety solution is a system that analyzes population density within a certain area in real time. In case of an incident, it notifies relevant agencies and prevents crowd accidents like the Itaewon tragedy by broadcasting announcements to citizens and sending disaster safety text messages.

The city has been conducting a pilot operation since April at 10 locations with large crowds, including the south and north plazas of Bucheon Station, the south plaza of Yeokgok Station, and Bucheon Central Park.

In the future, it plans to efficiently prepare for the safety management of festivals visited by more than 50,000 people annually, such as the Bucheon International Fantastic Film Festival and Bucheon’s three major spring flower festivals.

A Bucheon city official stated, "To proactively respond to various safety accidents and crimes, we have installed the largest number of crime prevention CCTVs per unit area in the country and established an intelligent solution to operate a 24/7 control system throughout the year," adding, "We will continue to create a smart safety city that citizens can truly feel."

Meanwhile, in addition to the crowd safety solution, Bucheon plans to further accelerate the realization of Mayor Jo Yong-ik’s 8th term pledge of a 'Safe and Secure City Free of Crime and Accidents' with AI-based 'Safe Fence' for jaywalking detection, a 'Missing Person Search Service' linked with the police station, and an emergency vehicle priority signal service.
