Gwangmyeong City to Integrate Carbon Neutrality Data with "Data Station" and "Integrated Platform"

Integrated Management of Transportation, Environment, and Energy Data

Establishment of Data Station and Integrated Platform

Real-Time Connection of Transportation, Environment, Energy, and Safety Data

Gwangmyeong City in Gyeonggi Province is establishing an integrated data system that will bring together and connect various carbon-neutrality data scattered throughout the city.

On May 13, the city announced that it will build a "Data Station" to centrally manage all carbon-neutrality-related data across the city, as well as an "Integrated Platform" that will visualize the collected data, making it accessible to both public officials and citizens.

This project is one of the initiatives being promoted after Gwangmyeong City was selected for the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport's 2024 Small Smart City Construction Project. The aim is to collect and integrate newly generated data and existing data in one place, thereby linking it to citizen-oriented services and data-driven carbon reduction policies.

The city plans to organically connect data that was previously managed separately by departments or projects, establishing a data utilization system that can be practically used by both citizens and public officials.

The Data Station will implement functions for inter-regional data integration and comprehensive control, allowing urban data—previously operated separately by sector, such as transportation, environment, energy, and safety—to be connected and managed in real time on a single platform.

The system will integrate real-time data not only from six major existing administrative systems, including building energy information, carbon neutrality points, and intelligent transportation systems (ITS), but also from seven types of future-oriented smart services being introduced as part of the Small Smart City Project, such as virtual trading of renewable energy, AIoT-based (Artificial Intelligence Internet of Things) flood and inundation control, and electric vehicle sharing services.

With these advancements, previously fragmented urban data by sector will be organically connected within a single system, strengthening the foundation for smart city operations that enable integrated analysis and response to urban situations.

The data gathered in this way will be provided through the "Integrated Platform" as policy and daily life information that can be utilized by both the administration and citizens.

The Integrated Platform will be developed with two components: "Green Board" for public officials and "Eco View" for citizens.

The "Green Board" platform for public officials will support data-driven administration by verifying policy effectiveness with numerical indicators and providing objective grounds for budget allocation, based on accumulated data.

The "Eco View" platform for citizens will visualize the environmental contribution achieved through individual carbon-neutrality actions, helping users intuitively check carbon-neutrality policies in their daily lives.

On May 12, the city held a kickoff briefing for the "Data Station and Integrated Platform Construction Project," reviewing the direction of the project, the data integration framework, and platform construction plans. The city plans to complete system design and data integration tasks with the goal of launching the system in January next year.

Choi Hyemin, Acting Mayor (Vice Mayor) of Gwangmyeong City, stated, "Through this project, we will connect data from all corners of the city to enhance the effectiveness of carbon-neutrality policies and lay the foundation for a smart city. We will complete a precise, data-driven urban management system and continue to expand smart services that citizens can truly experience."
