The next-generation intelligent transportation system (C-ITS), which communicates with autonomous vehicles in real time, is first built not only on highways but also in local governments.
According to the Ministry of Land, Transport and Maritime Affairs and the related industries, the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport (MOT) is expected to introduce C-ITS to the local governments in parallel with the highway from next year, and Jeju and Seoul are selected as pilot cities for next year`s projects.
C-ITS refers to a system that real-time exchanges various traffic information such as vehicles (V2V), accidents, and falling objects by installing terminals and communication infrastructure on the roads.
It is an optimized system for future car driving such as autonomous driving vehicle in addition to traffic safety. The Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport (MIC) has been testing C-ITS at Daejeon-Sejong National Highway (87.8 km) since last July.
The Ministry of Land, Transport and Maritime Affairs established the C-ITS administrative council as the chairman of the Advanced Road Safety Division, promoting the C-ITS in the same way as the ITS was built in the early 2000s. Five local governments, including Jeju and Seoul, participated in the C-ITS pilot city competition, which started in August.
A total of KRW 43 billion will be spent on the construction of C-ITS from the two municipalities for three years from next year to 2020. The Ministry of Land and Infrastructure supports 60% and each municipality pays the remaining 40%. Jejudo and Seoul city are planning to start system construction in the first half of next year after design work.
Meanwhile, Jeju Island has been rated as the best among the local governments in terms of traffic environment and business conditions. C-ITS builds a mobile communication network and a wireless communication network (wave) in the vicinity of the road, so that vehicles transmit and receive traffic information.
There are about 30,000 rental cars registered in Jeju Island, so you can build a terminal and implement services effectively. Entry barriers are lower than distributing terminals to personal vehicles. It is good to inform C-ITS that the number of family tourists who use rental cars reaches 15 million per year. Considering the characteristics of the islands, the outbound rate of vehicles with handsets is close to zero. Jeju Island is also planning to build a C-ITS in the East Seo-gu, which is a total of 150km in total, in the central road, in peace road, in 516 road and 1100 road.
The city plans to focus on raising the level of traffic safety. A representative of Seoul Metropolitan City said, "We plan to concentrate on safety among the various services of C-ITS. Although it continues to decrease, traffic accidents and casualties are higher than those in developed countries, so we use advanced technology to effectively prevent and respond to accidents and we want to make it. "The city plans to concentrate on building a pedestrian detection system. Using a vehicle terminal to introduce a service, such as warning the driver to prevent pedestrian collision, supporting safe driving on the right turn, is warning the intersection signal violation warning in advance.
The Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport stated, "C-ITS is intended to expand the system that is being tested in the Sejong City area to the local government and based on the results obtained through R & D and testing, it will be launched."
