Gwacheon City Expands Installation of Solar-Powered Wireless Bus Information Displays (BIT)

Gwacheon City announced that it has expanded installation of solar-powered wireless bus information displays (BIT) to 15 village bus stops, which can be installed without electric and telecommunications construction work.

On the 21st, Gwacheon City completed the "solar-powered wireless BIT expansion installation project" targeting village bus stops where electric and telecommunications construction is difficult. Village bus stops had remained blind spots in traffic information services due to constraints in electric and telecommunications construction work.

Previously, the city conducted pilot installation of solar BIT at five locations last year and confirmed stable operation before pursuing project expansion. The project, which invested 190 million won in project costs, resulted in solar BIT installations at 15 locations including Exit 1 of Gyeongma Park Station.

According to effect analysis, annual greenhouse gas reduction of approximately 679kg is expected. Budget savings of approximately 350 million won are anticipated through 64% reduction in 10-year operating costs and 93% reduction in carbon emissions.

Meanwhile, the project was selected for the Korea Public Procurement Service's 2026 innovative product pilot purchase project, with an additional 10 locations planned for installation by December this year.
