Buses and Taxis Detect Road Hazards in Real Time

Hwaseong-si Builds Digital Road System Utilizing Public Transportation
Installs 70 AI Analysis Devices on H Buses and Corporate Taxis

"Buses and taxis collect information on potholes and road defects while running."

Hwaseong City in Gyeonggi Province announced on the 5th that it has established the nation's first AI-based "Hwaseong-type Digital Road System" that manages road hazards using public transportation.

This system collects real-time information on unexpected road situations such as potholes, road cracks, fallen objects, and defective road markings based on GPS and AI, building a database (DB) to support safe road environment management.

To this end, the city installed 70 AI road analysis terminals on H buses and corporate taxis within the jurisdiction by April and completed testing of the collected information last month.

The city plans to distribute the operation program to road management-related departments and begin full-scale system operation starting next year.

In particular, the city plans to expand the installation of terminals to garbage collection and road cleaning vehicles to broaden the scope of data collection and management.

Jung Myung-geun, mayor of Hwaseong City, said, "Citizen safety is the most important responsibility of the mayor," and added, "We will actively promote policies for citizen safety on the roads through the Hwaseong-type Digital Road System."
