‘AI CCTVs’ to be Added to 3,500 Harbors to Prevent Accidents: LaonPeople Develops AI Coastal Control Technology

LaonPeople Participates in Development of AI-Based Coastal Control Solution

Strengthening Public Safety Across Coastal Areas and Harbors

LaonPeople, an AI specialist company, is accelerating the enhancement of public safety in coastal areas by embarking on the development of an AI-based coastal control solution.

LaonPeople announced its participation as the lead institution, alongside AI semiconductor solution company Mobilint, in the ‘Development and Demonstration of AI Solutions for Coastal Area Risk Analysis’ project, promoted by the National IT Industry Promotion Agency (NIPA). This project aims to advance the accident prevention system through AI analysis and field demonstration in high-risk coastal zones, including tidal flats, shorelines, and fishing harbors.

Through this project, LaonPeople will develop an AI CCTV-based control solution capable of swiftly detecting and responding to high-risk incidents frequently occurring in coastal areas, such as isolation due to high tide, fires in harbors, and wave hazards. The plan is to apply technologies like Region of Interest (ROI) setting, GPS-based object localization, and real-time AI analysis to quickly assess dangerous situations and secure the ‘Golden Hour’ for response.

The demonstration will take place in three areas: the tidal flat region of Hanagae Beach, Incheon Namhang Port Dock, and the Wolmido coastline. LaonPeople will build datasets reflecting the representative accident types of each region and utilize accident data held by the Korea Coast Guard to enhance the AI solution for practical on-site use.

The project is scheduled to run until the end of December next year. The developed AI coastal control solution will be integrated into the Korea Coast Guard’s operational environment. The objective is to transition the current human-centric response system to a technology-driven system based on Generative AI, thereby simultaneously boosting control efficiency and on-site response capabilities. The government plans to gradually upgrade the technology and expand its application to approximately 3,500 harbors and ports nationwide.
