Emgen Solution Secures Patent for AI School Zone Safety System: Proven Results in Local Government Applications

Emgen Solution has secured a patent for its next-generation intelligent transportation system, announcing that the technology has proven effective in field applications by local governments.

On March 19, Emgen Solution explained that its recently patented AI-based school zone safety system has been piloted in select local governments, delivering tangible results.

According to the company, Hwaseong City has installed AI-powered CCTV cameras and safety barriers at crosswalks near elementary schools, and is conducting real-time monitoring and remote management through its traffic information center. This system is designed to analyze the movements of pedestrians and vehicles in real time to prevent accidents, and can immediately respond by detecting jaywalking or sudden actions by children. The system is currently deployed and operating at 36 elementary schools within Hwaseong City.

In particular, the automatic barrier bar, which operates in sync with pedestrian signals, functions as a physical safety device and is credited with significantly improving safety. Additionally, the system has contributed to social benefits, such as reducing safety concerns for working parents during their children's commutes. Based on these achievements, Hwaseong City has received multiple awards, including the Local Government Content Grand Prize and the Grand Prize at the Gyeonggi Province Best Practices in Proactive Administration Contest.

The newly patented system further advances existing smart crosswalk technologies. Leveraging AI deep learning-based video analysis, it precisely detects pedestrian presence, movement patterns, and vehicle speed and location, enabling proactive control of barriers based on this data.

The company stated that this system is also being piloted in several other regions, including Gyeongju and Yesan, as well as Hwaseong City.

A representative from Emgen Solution said, "Recently, local governments have been expanding their traffic safety policies by introducing AI-based safe driving solutions, analyzing driver behavior data, and providing tailored education. With this patent registration, we plan to actively expand our business into the smart transportation infrastructure market."
