The high-precision electronic map construction project involves building and enhancing various three-dimensional spatial information, including 1:1000 scale topographic maps. It is a project carried out in partnership with the National Geographic Information Institute of the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport, with a 50:50 matching of national and local government funds, aimed at early completion of the digital twin, one of the national agenda items.

In particular, this project enabled the construction of more detailed and accurate spatial information data by capturing multi-layered location information using LiDAR, a cutting-edge technology gaining attention for acquiring three-dimensional location data, mounted on aircraft, drones, and automobiles.

The high-precision electronic maps constructed through this project are expected to serve as core data foundations in various fields such as digital twin, smart cities, and autonomous driving by integrating with the latest technologies like AI, big data, and cloud computing.

An official from the city stated, “We will continue to strive to provide innovative administrative services by linking the latest three-dimensional spatial information data based on digital twin with various municipal tasks through the construction of more accurate and reliable high-precision electronic maps.”
