Gwonseon-gu Installs Road Heating System in Front of Sincok Elementary School

Gwonseon-gu in Suwon City (District Chief Kim Jeong-su) has commenced operation of a road heating system, a cutting-edge future-oriented facility, starting December 1st on a 100-meter section of Segwon Road in front of Sincok Elementary School (spanning from the Nonghyup Bank Seryu Branch to the Yucheon Intersection) in place of conventional snow removal operations that relied on calcium chloride and traditional equipment.

The road heating system is the first installation by any local government in the nation. It is an eco-friendly facility installed with heating cables on the road that removes snow during snowfall.

The system detects changing weather conditions in real time through multiple sensors including motion sensors, thermal sensors, and humidity sensors, automatically activating and removing snow when snow falls.
