High Marks for Efficiency in Digital Twin-Based Underground Facility Projects
Expanding Citizen Engagement and Intelligent City Services with Spatial Information Data
Daejeon City has been selected as the "Best Institution" in the national spatial information policy implementation performance evaluation organized by the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport.
The Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport evaluated the performance of spatial information-related projects in 2024 by central government agencies and local governments. The evaluation criteria included alignment with the 7th National Spatial Information Master Plan, achievement of objectives, ripple effect, degree of integrated utilization, and the importance of the projects. Outstanding projects were selected following a review by a panel of experts.
Among the 1,058 projects promoted by local governments across the country in 2024, Daejeon City was selected as the best for its "Digital Twin-Based Integrated Safety Management System for Underground Facilities," which was carried out as a pilot project for the Digital Twin National Land initiative.
In particular, the project received high marks for its significance and impact, especially in terms of improving efficiency in the management of underground facilities through XR-based monitoring services and other innovations.
Daejeon City has proactively advanced digital twin technology in the fields of safety, such as firefighting and underground facilities, and has implemented various policies to promote the development of spatial information.
First, through the Digital Twin-Based Fire Safety City Construction Project, the city built 3D digital data for all areas of Seo-gu and Yuseong-gu. It also completed the development of the nation's first digital twin fire safety training content, a real-time digital control system for fire trucks, indoor navigation for locating positions inside buildings, and smart radio wave detection sensors for location information blind spots.
Additionally, as a selected site for the Digital Twin National Land pilot project, Daejeon City applied digital twin technology to underground facilities and structures, developing extended reality-based monitoring services, AI-based predictive maintenance services, and road excavation simulation solutions.
Kang Inbok, Director of Land Information at Daejeon City, stated, "Winning the Best Institution award is a recognition of Daejeon City as a leading city for AI-driven government based on digital twin technology," adding, "We will continue to expand intelligent city services that are safe and convenient, and that citizens can truly experience, based on precise spatial information data."
