Establishment of an AI-Based Fine Dust Response System
[Asia Economy Reporter Lim Cheol-young] Public service projects utilizing advanced information technology, such as building a fine dust response system based on artificial intelligence and operating a disaster situation sharing and management platform, will be implemented.
On the 7th, the Ministry of the Interior and Safety announced that it has selected five projects for this year's advanced information technology utilization public service promotion project and will support them with 3.8 billion KRW. The five projects selected this year are ▲Fine dust Internet of Things (IoT) measurement and AI-based response system in Dobong-gu, Seoul ▲National Park Service's National Park Smart Disaster Safety Integrated Platform ▲Daejeon Fire Headquarters' real-time disaster emergency situation sharing platform ▲AI-based civil complaint form writing assistant services in Seongdong-gu, Seoul and Gimhae-si, Gyeongsangnam-do.
To select the projects, the Ministry of the Interior and Safety conducted a public contest from January 10 to February 21 and finalized five tasks through document screening and presentation review at the project review committee on the 2nd. Dobong-gu, Seoul, will build an ‘AI-based fine dust response system’ to improve the accuracy of fine dust concentration measurement and analyze and utilize fine dust information. Dobong-gu plans to install about 100 IoT-based fine dust measuring devices in the district and provide the collected information as a public service through big data analysis on electronic display boards. In addition, it will efficiently manage the routes of street cleaning vehicles by linking with the newly established AI-based street cleaning vehicle management system.
The National Park Service will build a ‘disaster situation sharing and management platform’ applying advanced information technology to enable rapid response when disasters occur in 22 national parks nationwide and actively utilize it for rescue operations. The National Park disaster situation sharing and management platform integrates 11 types of safety management systems scattered across each national park into a single unified system.
The ‘AI-based civil complaint form writing assistant’ in Seongdong-gu, Seoul, and Gimhae-si, Gyeongsangnam-do was prepared to resolve the inconvenience of writing complex civil complaint forms. Instead of paper forms, the service uses kiosks to fill out forms and automatically populates civil complaint form fields using MyData, greatly enhancing convenience for civil petitioners.
The Daejeon Metropolitan City Fire Headquarters will build an ‘open emergency situation sharing platform’ to secure mutual cooperation and an intelligent support system through public-private information sharing in the event of a disaster. To enable rapid response in the situation room during disasters, it will establish an AI-based real-time analysis and response service, and through voice recognition, it will analyze and provide related information such as the reporter’s location, relevant facilities, and response methods to assist disaster decision-making.
The Ministry of the Interior and Safety and the Korea Local Information Research & Development Institute, the project lead agency, plan to complete the selection of contractors with five lead agencies by the end of May and complete system construction by the end of November. In particular, this year, projects with proven effectiveness and high ripple effects from the advanced information technology utilization public service pilot projects and digital public service innovation project pilot projects promoted by the Ministry of the Interior and Safety and the Ministry of Science and ICT will be selected and expanded nationwide.
Ko Gwang-deok, head of the Regional Digital Service Division, said, “We will strive to create a safer Korea by enhancing convenience in essential civil and administrative areas of citizens’ lives using advanced information technology and strengthening safety in disaster and safety fields.”
