Construction of 20 Smart Poles with Safe Streetlights Around Sillim Station, a High Foot Traffic Area This Year
▲Integrated Safety Features Including CCTV and Emergency Bells Create a Secure Nighttime Environment for Residents

Gwanak-gu (Mayor Park Jun-hee) will install 20 smart pole streetlights worth a total of 200 million KRW around Sillim Station this year to create a safer Gwanak for residents.

The district was selected on the 15th for the nationwide "Safe Streetlight Plus" support project, promoted by the social welfare corporation Milal Welfare Foundation and sponsored by Korea Hydro & Nuclear Power.

The "Safe Streetlight Plus" support project aims to establish smart pole safe streetlight infrastructure in areas with high foot traffic and a need for crime prevention to ensure the safety of local residents.

The "smart pole safe streetlight" is an intelligent streetlight equipped with LED lighting and IoT functions such as ▲closed-circuit television (CCTV), ▲emergency bell, ▲abnormal sound detection device, and ▲flasher capable of dimming and remote control.

In particular, the "closed-circuit television (CCTV)" is linked to the Gwanak-gu Integrated Control Center, which operates 24 hours a day, and the "abnormal sound detection device" detects abnormal sounds such as screams and automatically connects to the control center, enabling immediate response in case of resident emergencies.

Additionally, various functions are integrated, including an electronic display used for promotional purposes, which is expected to have a cost-saving effect.

After installation, free A/S will be supported for five years, greatly contributing to maintaining and managing safe streets around Sillim Station.

With this selection in the public contest, the district expects to create nighttime streets where residents can walk with greater peace of mind and to further strengthen the local residents' safety network.

Park Jun-hee, Mayor of Gwanak-gu, said, "We will do our utmost to create an environment where residents can live safely anytime and anywhere," adding, "We will continue to actively promote various projects to prevent crime and eliminate blind spots in resident safety."
