Pohang City to Develop AloT Technology for Real-Time Detection of Earthquake-Vulnerable Buildings
Pohang City, Gyeongbuk Province, has started developing AloT technology for real-time safety management of vulnerable buildings for earthquakes.
On the 27th, the city signed an agreement with five organizations including POSTECH at City Hall for the ‘Joint Development of AloT-based Safety Management Platform Technology for Facilities in Preparation for Earthquakes’.
The event, attended by Wonhak Ko, Director of Pohang City Earthquake Special Support Team, Suhee Han, Professor of IT Convergence Engineering at POSTECH, Cheondeok Park, CEO of DS Tech, Jooyeon Kim, CEO of Azone Tech, and Ho Kwon, Head of Yeongnam Branch of Korea Conformity Laboratories, was organized to reduce social damage and relieve citizens’ anxiety through safety management of vulnerable buildings.
‘AloT-based facility safety management platform technology’ is a project that uses AloT (AI+loT, intelligent Internet of Things) to develop a platform that supports safety inspections of aging facilities and enables immediate response to accidents and risks through cracks, displacement, strain, structural/functional abnormalities, and image information from sensors attached to facilities. A total project cost of KRW 2.1 billion (National 17, Provincial 4) is supported.
