Ulsan City Successfully Completes Digital Logistics Service Pilot Project

Completion of Digital Logistics Service Demonstration Support Project

Provision of Fuel-Efficient Driving Support Service for Freight Vehicles

Ulsan City has successfully completed a digital logistics service demonstration project utilizing advanced information and communication technology, strengthening the competitiveness of the local logistics industry.

On the 16th at 2 p.m., Ulsan City held the 'Ulsan City Digital Logistics Service Demonstration Support Project Completion Report Meeting' in the medium conference room on the 4th floor of the city hall main building, attended by about 20 people including officials from Ulsan City, the Korea Transport Institute under the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport, Ulsan Research Institute, and the Freight Association.

This project was selected last year in a public contest by the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport, with a total budget of 600 million KRW, including 300 million KRW each from national and city funds.

In this demonstration project, three digital logistics services were successfully developed: ▲ optimal inertia driving speed provision service ▲ eco-driving recommendation service ▲ freight vehicle accessible road guidance service. Through these, real-time signal information and location data are provided to freight vehicles, enabling efficient eco-driving.

Analysis of the service effects proved fuel efficiency improvement based on drivers' driving speed and direction data, reflecting compliance with eco-driving recommendations.

Based on the demonstration project results, Ulsan City plans to contribute to innovation and sustainable growth of the logistics industry by ▲ advancing service functions ▲ strengthening data analysis systems ▲ expanding to all vehicle types and nationwide.

A freight vehicle driver in Ulsan using the digital logistics service demonstration app said, “The inertia driving speed service considering the type of freight vehicle is impressive. It was good to see signal information in real time on the app, and driving according to the app’s inertia driving speed (30?50 km/h) helped save fuel, which was very helpful. If many signals operate accurately, it would be really useful, and I look forward to various related service updates in the future.”

An official from Ulsan City stated, “Through this project, we confirmed various positive effects such as logistics cost reduction, emission reduction, and traffic accident prevention, and laid the foundation for digitalization of the local logistics industry.”
