The city of Suwon in Gyeonggi Province is partnering with the Korea Road Traffic Authority and private navigation companies to establish a ‘Real-Time Traffic Signal Information Provision System.’

On the 16th, Suwon City, along with five local governments including Wonju, Iksan, Cheonan, and Hwaseong, the Korea Road Traffic Authority, and private navigation companies signed a business agreement at the Korea Road Traffic Authority’s main conference room, pledging cooperation.

The Real-Time Traffic Signal Information Provision System works by local governments transmitting traffic signal controller information from intersections to the Korea Road Traffic Authority, which processes the data and provides it to navigation companies. These companies then inform users of real-time traffic signal information and remaining signal times.

By utilizing the Real-Time Traffic Signal Information Provision System, navigation devices can predict traffic signals, helping to prevent speeding and tailgating.

Suwon City plans to pilot the installation of signal information collection systems at 10 major intersections in the Gwanggyo area as part of the ‘2024 Suwon Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) Construction Project,’ with plans to consider expanding the installation in the future.

Suwon City expects that from the first half of next year, private navigation services will be able to provide traffic signal information for major intersections in the Gwanggyo area.

A Suwon City official stated, "We plan to provide traffic signal information at 10 major intersections in the Gwanggyo area of Suwon, where the 2025 ITS Asia-Pacific Congress will be held," adding, "The real-time traffic signal information service will enhance safety and will be a great help for the future commercialization of autonomous vehicles."
