Guro-gu Installs Smart Notification System in Traffic Blind Spots

Drivers Can Check Pedestrian and Opposite Vehicle Approaches... Installed in Front of Entrance to Dongbu Green Apartment in Oryu 2-dong and Near Gaemyeong Elementary School School Route in Gaebong 3-dong

Guro-gu (District Mayor Moon Heon-il) has installed 'Intersection Smart Alert' devices at slopes and blind spots on school routes to create a safer traffic environment.

The 'Intersection Smart Alert' is a traffic safety system that informs drivers about approaching pedestrians and vehicles from the opposite direction to prevent traffic accidents.

An AI camera recognizes objects such as cars and pedestrians up to 40 meters ahead, then notifies drivers of hill and alleyway conditions via a video display board. The phrase "Watch out for pedestrians ahead" is also displayed, helping drivers stay alert.

The locations where the district installed the Intersection Smart Alert this time are near the main gate of Dongbu Green Apartment in Oryu 2-dong and near the school route of Gaemyeong Elementary School in Gaebong 3-dong.

In Oryu 2-dong, the device was installed on a slope where it is difficult to check oncoming vehicles and pedestrian situations, and in Gaebong 3-dong, it was installed in a bent alley section of a school zone frequently used by elementary school students.

Since 2018, the district has established Intersection Smart Alerts at 16 locations for residents' traffic safety, and plans to select and install three more locations next year.

A Guro-gu official stated, "The frequency of traffic accidents is high in places where visibility is poor," and added, "We expect that the alert system using smart technology will greatly help prevent accidents."
