Daejeon Ambulance Secures 'Golden Time'... KT's Ultra-Precise Positioning Solution
Providing information at a level that distinguishes lanes
Position calculation even in areas with poor GPS reception
KT "Will continue to expand the use of ultra-precise positioning"
On the 24th, KT announced that it will supply ultra-precise positioning solutions to 150 fire and emergency rescue vehicles of the Daejeon Fire Headquarters. Previously, KT was selected as the supplier of ultra-precise positioning solutions for the project to build an immersive fire safety city utilizing converged data in Daejeon.
The platform, where AI corrects GPS errors, and vehicle terminals equipped with ultra-precise positioning solutions are linked to deliver the acquired location information to the Daejeon Fire Headquarters. KT's ultra-precise positioning solution plans to transition to commercial service from 2025 after supplying the first prototype terminals and conducting optimization and service verification this year. In 2021, KT applied this solution to Jeju’s fire and emergency rescue vehicles in the Jeju C-ITS (Next-Generation Intelligent Transportation System) project, introducing an emergency vehicle priority signal service.
KT has advanced the solution to provide more accurate information than before. This ultra-precise positioning solution utilizes not only GPS but also vehicle operation information. It enables accurate location calculation even in areas where GPS signal reception is difficult. Furthermore, based on the location information provided by KT, the 119 comprehensive control room at the Daejeon Fire Headquarters can monitor vehicles in real time and guide the shortest route. This minimizes the time for fire and emergency rescue vehicles to arrive at accident scenes, securing the golden time.
