Jinwoo ATS Installs 'AI Black Ice Monitoring System' in Frequent Freezing Zones of Bonghwa-gun, Gyeongbuk

Jinwoo ATS Co., Ltd. (President Lim Hyung-gil) announced that it has installed the ‘AI Black Ice Monitoring System (AiBS)’ in habitual freezing zones in Bonghwa-gun, Gyeongbuk Province to reduce winter traffic accidents. The system monitors road freezing conditions in real time at the request of its client companies and provides warning signals to drivers.

AiBS accurately determines whether roads are frozen by integrating AI video analysis, a proprietary road surface information sensor, and data from the Korea Meteorological Administration, and provides visual and auditory warnings to drivers based on this information.

The key feature of AiBS is its use of AI cameras along with the proprietary road surface information sensor, distinguishing it from existing road detection equipment. While existing systems operate based on meteorological data, AiBS more precisely detects actual road freezing conditions through its self-developed sensors and AI-based video information. This information is transmitted to the control center, where LED displays and warning lights immediately flash on-site to alert drivers.

Since its installation in habitual freezing zones in Bonghwa-gun, the system has been evaluated as contributing to raising drivers’ awareness of safe driving. Jinwoo ATS Co., Ltd. plans to expand the pilot project to additional habitual freezing zones starting in the second half of this year and aims for full adoption in the public sector thereafter.

After completing the pilot project in 2025, Jinwoo ATS Co., Ltd. plans to begin full-scale distribution in 2026 and is currently pursuing related technology certifications and patent applications. The company also plans to expand the system to highways and general national roads and collaborate with the private sector to develop it into a global traffic safety solution.

The AI Black Ice Monitoring System has the potential to evolve into a system that responds not only to winter freezing accidents but also to various road conditions such as rain, heavy snow, and fog. Jinwoo ATS Co., Ltd. plans to prevent traffic accidents and contribute to enhancing public safety through this system.
