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

[Suwon Ilbo=Reporter Park No-hun] 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 for the government's 2020 National Priority Data Opening Support Project, the 'Gyeonggi Province Autonomous Driving Center Autonomous Driving Data Opening Project' is scheduled to be implemented starting in June.

Accordingly, anyone can access the Public Data Portal (https://www.data.go.kr) or 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 additional data processing. From the second half of this year through 2022, over a three-year period, data necessary for the development of the autonomous driving industry is scheduled to be opened to the public, and the Province expects this will contribute to revitalizing the autonomous driving industry.

Lim Moon-young, Gyeonggi Province's Future Growth Policy Director, said, "Since its opening last year, the Gyeonggi Province Autonomous Driving Center has been working to establish a healthy and progressive autonomous driving ecosystem," and "Going forward, the Center will take the lead in advancing domestic autonomous driving technology 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 establish 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 sector, including development of 'Zero Shuttle,' an autonomous vehicle capable of operating at autonomous driving Level 4 without a driver, and support for startups' demonstration tests and big data services.
