Illegal parking is a chronic problem that threatens urban traffic congestion and pedestrian safety, and existing enforcement methods were highly dependent on manpower and were therefore ineffective.
(Seoul = Yonhap News) Reporter Oh Ye-jin = The Korea Institute of Civil Engineering and Building Technology announced on the 6th that it has developed an illegal parking AI management system (MOVI) using edge AI (artificial intelligence) technology.
This is a system where AI detects illegally parked vehicles in real time, notifies them through road electronic signs and LED (light-emitting diode) floor lights around the curb, and provides real-time parking information in nearby public parking lots.
Part of the illegally parked vehicle number is displayed on the electronic display board.
As a result of the research team of the Korea Construction Research Institute piloting this system in Namyangju, Gyeonggi Province since November of last year, the number of illegal parking incidents decreased by about 99% between September of last year and August of this year.
The research team estimates that the social cost savings per branch where this system is installed will reach 20 million won this year, and is expanding commercialization to other local governments, including Gimhae City, Gyeongsangnam-do.
Edge AI is a technology that makes on-site decisions based on self-installed data even when disconnected from the central server.
AI outlook — possibilities, not facts
Commercialization of the illegal parking AI management system will expand to other local governments, including Gimhae-si, Gyeongsangnam-do.
