Gyeonggi Province Autonomous Driving Center to Open Autonomous Driving Data to Public from Second Half of Year

[Suwon Ilbo=Park No-hoon] Gyeonggi Province announced on the 14th that it will open autonomous driving-related data collected from the Gyeonggi Province Autonomous Driving Center to the public.

Following the selection of autonomous driving data from the Pangyo Autonomous Driving Demonstration Complex operated by the Gyeonggi Province Autonomous Driving Center in the government's 2020 National Priority Data Disclosure Support Project, the 'Gyeonggi Province Autonomous Driving Center Autonomous Driving Data Disclosure Project' is set to launch from June.

As a result, anyone can access the Public Data Portal (https://www.data.go.kr) and the Gyeonggi Autonomous Driving Center Portal (https://ggzerocity.or.kr) to conveniently utilize autonomous driving-related data collected from the Pangyo Autonomous Driving Demonstration Complex without any separate data processing. Data necessary for autonomous driving industry development will be opened to the public over three years from the second half of this year through 2022, and the province expects this to contribute to the revitalization of the autonomous driving industry.

Lim Moon-young, Director of Future Growth Policy at Gyeonggi Province, stated, "Since its opening last year, the Gyeonggi Province Autonomous Driving Center has been working to establish a healthy and progressive autonomous driving ecosystem," and added, "The center will continue to lead domestic autonomous driving technology development by utilizing Gyeonggi Province's advanced autonomous driving technology and vast amounts of data."

Meanwhile, Gyeonggi Province launched the Gyeonggi Province Autonomous Driving Center in May of last year together with the Next-Generation Convergence Technology Research Institute to build an industrial ecosystem in the autonomous driving sector. The province continues to provide steady support for establishing and operating a world-class demonstration complex in the autonomous driving field, including support for the development of 'Zero Shuttle,' an autonomous vehicle at Level 4 autonomous driving capability that enables driving without a driver, and proof-of-concept testing and big data services for startups.
