U+ Vehicle Detector Receives 'Top Grade' in Government Evaluation of Intelligent Transportation Systems

Basic Performance Evaluation Achieves Top-Class Accuracy Over 95%
Expectations for Traffic Volume Dispersion in Chronic Congestion Zones and Establishment of Optimal Signal Operation System

On the 10th, LG Uplus announced that its video AI-based traffic analysis system, ‘U+ Vehicle Detector,’ received a ‘top grade’ evaluation in the basic performance assessment for intelligent transportation system (ITS) vehicle detectors conducted by the Korea Institute of Civil Engineering and Building Technology. The ITS basic performance assessment rates a system as ‘top grade’ if its accuracy in traffic volume, speed, and occupancy rate exceeds 95%. The U+ Vehicle Detector achieved ‘top grade’ by recording high accuracy during sunrise, sunset, and both day and night conditions.

The U+ Vehicle Detector is a system installed on roads to collect and analyze traffic data of vehicles in real time. Based on LG Uplus’s proprietary video AI deep learning model, it recognizes road objects and can analyze traffic volume, speed, and occupancy rate for vehicles traveling across four lanes in both directions per single camera. Once commercialized, it is expected to contribute to improving traffic convenience by ▲inducing traffic dispersion in habitual congestion zones, ▲enhancing traffic management efficiency through integration with existing ITS systems, ▲establishing optimal signal operation systems through road problem analysis, ▲and providing information to support safe driving and monitor traffic conditions in key sections, according to LG Uplus.

Additionally, the U+ Incident Detector currently under development plans to complete the basic performance assessment for ITS incident detectors by the third quarter of this year. The incident detector is a system that automatically detects and provides real-time information to operators about unexpected situations occurring on roads, such as stopped vehicles, wrong-way drivers, fallen objects, pedestrians, and moving objects. LG Uplus plans to commercialize the U+ Vehicle Detector first in the next-generation intelligent transportation system (C-ITS) projects currently underway by local governments.

Jeon Young-seo, Head of LG Uplus Enterprise Service Development Lab, stated, “It is significant that we received the top VDS grade from the Korea Institute of Civil Engineering and Building Technology, an accredited ITS performance evaluation institution. We plan to internalize various technologies, including the incident detector, to expand not only the C-ITS projects conducted by local governments but also autonomous driving businesses in the future.”
