Jeonbuk Transport Safety Authority equips city buses with AI cameras... Warning for 'Traffic Violations'

35 Honam Express City Buses Equipped... Safe and Economical Driving

The Jeonbuk Headquarters of the Korea Transportation Safety Authority (Head Kim Kang-pyo) announced on the 2nd that it signed a business agreement with Honam Express Co., Ltd. last May to promote an AI video recognition-based city bus safe driving monitoring project and installed AI cameras on 35 city buses.

According to the Jeonbuk Headquarters, this project installs AI cameras on the front exterior and interior of city bus vehicles to monitor drivers' risky driving behaviors in real time. The AI monitoring system automatically saves instances of drivers' traffic violations to the safe driving platform and provides real-time warnings to drivers via AI terminals.

To successfully promote the project, on-site consulting was conducted in June targeting transportation company managers and labor union executives. In July, a blind test period was conducted where AI video analysis equipment was installed and driving habits were analyzed without separate feedback.

Then, over six months until December, drivers' traffic violations, safe driving, eco-driving scores, and improvements in risky behaviors will be evaluated to select and reward outstanding drivers.

Head Kim Kang-pyo stated, "We expect that this AI safe driving platform will greatly help establish a culture of safe driving among city bus drivers and prevent bus traffic accidents in advance."
