Gyeonggi Province Releases 1.8 Million Public Data Points on Autonomous Driving

Autonomous driving refers to a transportation system that requires no human control and instead relies only on its own judgment. As one of seven main industries of the Fourth Industrial Revolution, active autonomous driving research is being conducted globally.

By establishing Pangyo Zero City, Gyeonggi Province has been supporting the autonomous driving industry. As an open platform autonomous driving complex established in Pangyo Techno Valleys 1 and 2, Pangyo Zero City serves as a test bed of an actual environment in which both people and autonomous vehicles exist.

The Gyeonggi Autonomous Driving Center, part of the operating organization of Pangyo Zero City, was commissioned by the Advanced Institutes of Convergence Technology. It plays a role in creating ‘better lives’ for Gyeonggi Province residents through the creation of an autonomous driving industry ecosystem, as well as through innovation and implementation in public mobility.

Gyeonggi Province has publicly released 1.8 million data points related to autonomous driving that were acquired from the autonomous driving center.

Anyone can conveniently utilize this data without going through data processing by accessing the public data portal, the Gyeonggi Autonomous Driving Center portal, or Gyeonggi Data Dream.

Of the 1.8 million data points, 72 thousand videos extracted automatically from CCTV systems will significantly help advance AI-related companies in terms of autonomous driving with data processed via object recognition.

In addition, approximately 370,000 risk detection data points pertaining to such aspects as road surface conditions and pedestrian care services utilized by Pangyo Zero City’s infrastructure and control center will further enhance the safety of autonomous driving.

Approximately 1.35 million sensor points from Gyeonggi’s autonomous shuttle allow autonomous driving enterprises to freely access GPS/INS data from the object recognition and driving processes.

The Gyeonggi Autonomous Driving Center is the first institution of its kind in Korea to release autonomous driving data together with infrastructure data from actual street environments. This integrated information can be utilized as academic data for autonomous driving studies, the creation of autonomous driving simulation scenarios, autonomous driving digital twin/metaverse modelling, and more.

This is a particularly significant not only because autonomous vehicle development companies can utilize the data, but also because all autonomous driving industry users – such as infrastructure sensor (radar/lidar/CCTV) companies, communication device companies, control platform supply companies, and local governments – can utilize it.

This will not only foster the creation of autonomous driving ecosystems in Gyeonggi Province, but also improve quality of life for provincial residents through the proactive production and release of data.
