Ansan City continues to face persistent issues with illegal parking due to a structural shortage of parking spaces relative to the growing number of registered freight trucks. This remains a major concern affecting both public safety and traffic order. In fact, while there are more than 47,000 freight trucks, there are only about 1,500 designated parking spaces, making it difficult to address the problem using traditional methods.


In response, Ansan City plans to introduce the 'CargoClick' platform, which utilizes artificial intelligence (AI) technology to enhance the overall efficiency of enforcement administration.


'CargoClick' is an integrated platform that combines AI-powered license plate recognition (OCR), administrative automation (AI Agent), AI chatbot, and data analysis functions. It supports the entire process of enforcement, guidance, and policy development on a data-driven basis, enabling a seamless connection from accumulating and analyzing enforcement data to making policy decisions.


Notably, by automating what has traditionally been a manual enforcement process, the city expects to reduce administrative burdens and establish a more efficient, field-oriented enforcement system.


The anticipated effects of implementation include approximately a 60% reduction in enforcement processing time, about a 40% decrease in citizen complaints related to illegal freight truck parking, and roughly a 10% reduction in related accidents, resulting in tangible improvements that citizens can experience.


This project is the outcome of collaboration between Ansan City, Korea University, and KT, based on the 'AI Transformation (AX) Work Agreement for Administrative Innovation' signed last year. From the planning stage, government, industry, and academia jointly worked together. The city concretized on-site issues through interdepartmental consultations and, based on this, designed an effective AI administrative model.


Furthermore, AI specialist company Open Network System will participate in the project, further strengthening the public-private-academic collaboration system.



A city official stated, "This project is more than just the introduction of technology; it is the result of collaborative efforts to solve local issues. We will continue to realize efficient and smart traffic administration that citizens can truly feel, using AI-based technology."
