▶ After performance certification, an AI-based CCTV traffic volume survey model will be deployed to the national traffic survey this month. 
▶ The model accurately identifies 12 vehicle types at 98.7% accuracy. 
▶ Offering greatly improved accuracy and convenience over the conventional naked eye survey, the model is expected to see wider use.

This year, a new survey method will be deployed for road traffic surveys in which artificial intelligence (AI) analyzes closed circuit TV (CCTV) data to automatically identify vehicle types and calculate traffic volumes.

The Ministry of the Interior and Safety (MOIS, Minister Lee Sang-min) announced that an AI-based CCTV traffic volume survey model developed by the Integrated Data Analysis Center will be adopted starting with the national traffic volume survey scheduled on October 19.

So far, traffic volumes at expressways and national roads have been surveyed using detectors and naked-eye verification of videos recorded at around 2,300 locations across Korea. The traffic volumes at 1,600 local roads and government-supported local roads have been measured through naked-eye surveys by local governments. However, the reliance on naked-eye surveys and detectors has posed various issues, including cost issues and weather conditions interfering with accurate surveys.&nbsp;

To address these issues, in April, the MOIS built a foundation to be able to automatically identify 12 vehicle types used in traffic volume surveys by extracting images of 170,000 vehicles from 20 terabytes (TBs) of CCTV clips from local roads (equal to 4,200 DVDs) and using it in training an AI image analysis. The efforts were led by the Integrated Data Analysis Center.

The model was recently certified by the Korea Telecommunications Technology Association (TTA), a testing and certification agency for ICT products, showing an accuracy of around 98.7%.

The ministry has completed the standardization process of the model so that local governments and traffic survey agencies across Korea can easily utilize it. Traffic survey agencies can also use the standard models available from the MOIS&rsquo; Government-wide Data Analysis System to analyze CCTV footage at survey points.

Current traffic volume surveys cost around KRW 400,000 to 800,000 per survey point, whereas the new method does not incur additional costs because it uses CCTV footage without an additional workforce. It also improves accuracy by eliminating subjective judgments from survey participants and ensures safe surveys at night and during rain.

Furthermore, the new model is expected to be available for developing transportation policies catering to the different needs of local governments, as well as for road management and policies to reduce particulate matter.

▶ The MOIS and Samsung signed an MOU for opening Mobile IDs to the private sector. 
▶ Next year, a pilot service will be launched with Samsung Pay and two type of mobile IDs, which will spread to private sector apps.

Going forward, mobile IDs will not merely replace conventional IDs but also serve as a secure and convenient way to access new public-private convergent services.&nbsp;

The Ministry of the Interior and Safety (MOIS, Minister Lee Sang-min) announced its plan to launch new convergent services for two mobile IDs (Mobile Driver&rsquo;s License and National Veterans Registration Card) that utilize secure storage in Samsung smartphones.&nbsp;

The MOIS is working with Samsung Electronics to build a common foundation for the convenient and secure use of mobile IDs at various private sector applications, utilizing powerful hardware-based security solutions that only a global smartphone manufacturer can develop.

The new services will securely store the mobile ID data in a secure storage space (TrustZone) within the application processor (AP) chipset embedded in Samsung Electronics&#39; smartphones. The service eradicates malicious threats from outside intruders and malicious programs during the issuance and use of mobile IDs, thereby building a safe and convenient foundation for various private-sector apps.

The MOIS will first launch a pilot public-facing service early next year for the two mobile ID cards (Mobile Driver&#39;s License and National Veterans Registration Card) through Samsung Pay. The ministry will also scale up the availability of the service in several phases to include a wider array of private sector apps people use in their daily lives.&nbsp;

This will allow citizens to obtain and use mobile IDs directly from their favorite private sector apps without the need to install a separate government ID app. These open IDs, coupled with the creativity and innovation of the enterprises, , will open up opportunities to create new business models* for online and offline services that require authentication.

* Mobile ID Convergent Service Example: Parking fee discount for veterans

- The Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs signed an MOU with the relevant institutions for more efficient digitalized livestock shipping. 
- The ministry will build an integrated system to integrate and manage livestock and certification information scattered across institutions.&nbsp; 
- The system will replace more than 10 types of documents with a single digital invoice.

The Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs (MAFRA, Minister Chung Hwang-keun) signed a Memorandum of Understanding for Efficient Digitalized Livestock Shipping on September 13. The MOU will motivate the development of a system for integrated management of various livestock and certification information currently scattered across multiple institutions, enabling shared use of information and greatly streamlining the document requirements for various civil services.

As the Chuseok holiday season approaches, which is characterized by a surge in livestock shipping, livestock farmers are already forming long lines even early in the morning at slaughter facilities and distribution sites to ship their animals to their preferred slaughterhouses.

Moreover, their predicament is confounded by the document requirement for shipping livestock to slaughter houses, including more than ten different documents, such as the shipping approval, the vaccination certificate, the environment-friendly animal welfare certificate, and the slaughter request. Obtaining these documents requires considerable time and cost, not to mention visits to several institutions.

To address this issue, the MAFRA plans to develop the &ldquo;One-Pass Shipping&rdquo; service (tentative title), which includes a shipping reservation system* and a standard digital livestock invoice.** The system will offer integrated management of livestock shipping information and provide the information in one go.&nbsp; 
&nbsp; * Shipping reservation system: a nationally integrated system where users can view the work schedule and reservation status of slaughterhouses across Korea and make reservations, to replace the previous standalone systems for individual slaughterhouses 
&nbsp;** Standard electronic livestock invoice integrates the channel for providing certification information required for livestock shipping as well as information on traded items, units, and quantities, and standardizes the disparate shipping request formats across slaughter houses (wholesale markets)

Starting with the MOU, efficiency in digitalized livestock shipping will be achieved by building an information integration system across the relevant institutions, applying standardized forms, and improving on-site services in several phases.

The signing ceremony was attended by Livestock Policy Director General Kim Jeong-wook at the MAFRA, and the heads and members of the National Agricultural Products Quality Management Service (NAQS), the Korea Institute for Animal Products Quality Evaluation (KAPE), the Korea Agency of HACCP Accreditation and Services (KAHAS), and the Livestock Environmental Management Institute (LEMI). The MOU covers the following issues: inter-institution cooperation and infrastructure for more efficient livestock production and distribution; integration and sharing of information across the relevant institutions (organic, antibiotic-free animal products / animal product traceability and rating / low-carbon animal products / hazard analysis and critical control points (HACCP) certified farms / clean livestock farms; and promotion, training, and task improvement for livestock shipping digitalization.

- The MOIS will launch a project to disseminate real time safety management solutions using wearable smart devices. 
- The solutions will be used to protect vulnerable groups from heat waves through real-time monitoring and emergency alerts.

The Ministry of the Interior and Safety (MOIS, Minister Lee Sang-min) will work with the Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs (MAFRA), the Rural Development Administration (RDA), the Ministry of Health and Welfare (MOHW), and the Ministry of Employment and Labor (MOEL) to develop smart device solutions to monitor people&rsquo;s health and address emergency situations in real time.

&nbsp; 

The MOIS and other relevant ministries plan to use smart bands and other types of smart devices for more preemptive protection of vulnerable groups.

First, the MOIS will disseminate a solution using wearable smart devices to check the physical status of people in vulnerable groups during heat waves, including their heart rates and skin temperature.

The smart device will monitor health signals in real time, and warn its wearer of any abnormal signals, such as high skin temperature and erratic heart rates. In case of detecting an emergency, such as a heat-induced collapse or a sudden change in the heart rate, the device promptly transmits the location to the previously registered emergency contact.

The relevant ministries will actively work together to scale the emergency response system across the three most vulnerable groups (elderly farmers, outdoor workers, and disaster-vulnerable groups) and other places of living.&nbsp; 

Different ministries will be responsible for developing specific applications for the smart device: the MAFRA and RDA will be responsible for heat-related injuries suffered by elderly farmers, while the MOEL focuses on construction and other outdoor workers, and the MOHW tends to disaster-vulnerable groups, such as senior citizens living alone, people living in subdivided flats, and the homeless population.

The MOIS will launch a pilot project featuring the smart device during the heat wave period next year, followed by further deployment in other places vulnerable to heat waves.

To that end, this September, the MOIS will develop and distribute guidelines on the use of the smart device across local governments, and hold a public hearing in October to promote support from local governments. The ministry will also develop various measures to encourage users to actively use the smart device.

- The new service uses reservoir operation data and meteorological data to predict low water levels up to six hours ahead.&nbsp; 
- The prediction model are expected to be used to take preemptive safety measures individually tailored to around 1,000 reservoirs and develop the relevant policies. 
- The ministry will complete the development process within this year and deploy the service in the reservoir operation management system of the Korea Rural Community Corporation to defend against floods.

Climate change has increased the frequency of heavy rain in Korea. To address the issue, the Korean government has set out to develop a &ldquo;reservoir water level prediction model&rdquo; for enhanced public safety. 
The prediction model will be deployed to manage water levels at around 1,000 reservoirs across Korea as early as later this year.

The Integrated Data Analysis Center of the Ministry of the Interior and Safety (MOIS, Minister Lee Sang-min) announced its plan to develop an AI-based prediction model for reservoir water levels that predict reservoir water levels across the country based on various real-time information on factors affecting them.

The model will be developed using the reservoir operation data from the Korea Rural Community Corporation (KRC) and the meteorological observation and forecast data from the Korea Meteorological Administration (KMA).

First, the 1,700 or more reservoirs managed by the KRC will be grouped under several categories based on reservoir sizes and surrounding environments.

Then, a model will be developed, using low water level data collected at a 10-minute interval and the rainfall observation and forecast data from the KMA, thereby predicting reservoir water levels.

The MOIS expects the model to lay an important groundwork to prevent damages caused by localized heavy rains, of which frequency has been increasing every year, and establish related policies.&nbsp;

The KRC will deploy the developed analysis model in its reservoir operation management system, and use it to prevent flood in the event sudden changes in water levels are expected due to heavy rain.&nbsp;

In addition, the ministry will share the results of reservoir water level predictions with local governments and other related organizations so that the data can be used to prepare for disasters.&nbsp;
