Introduction
Overview of the Daegu Metro Line 1 Ansan~Hayang Video Transmission System Project by STraffic
The project for the construction of video transmission equipment on the AnsimHayang Double-Track Railway."
The Daegu Metro Line 1 extension from Ansan to Hayang involves the implementation of an advanced video transmission system. This project integrates IP-based video equipment with cutting-edge ICT technology and a 3D-based intelligent integrated monitoring system, known as the Smart Station.
The project period spans from March 11, 2022, to December 31, 2024, with a total budget of 1.4 billion KRW. The Ansim~Hayang section of Daegu Metro Line 1 is set to open on Saturday, December 21, 2024.
This project is significant as it enhances the safety and efficiency of the metro system by providing real-time monitoring and improved communication capabilities. It also represents a step forward in modernizing urban transportation infrastructure with advanced technology.
Challenges
There are many factors to consider as follows.
- Integration of Advanced Technology: Implementing a 3D-based intelligent monitoring system required seamless integration with existing infrastructure.
- Ensuring Reliability: The system needed to be highly reliable to ensure continuous operation without interruptions.
- Cost Management: Balancing the budget while incorporating state-of-the-art technology was a critical challenge.
- Existing station facility data was scattered, making swift collection and analysis challenging.
- Security, disaster response, and facility management were operated through separate systems, making integrated management impossible.
- The lack of real-time monitoring and efficient response mechanisms hindered quick action during emergencies.
- Technical limitations made it difficult to improve passenger service quality
Solution
To enhance the safety and convenience of passengers using the subway, the extension section of Daegu Metro Line 1 from Ansim to Hayang aims to implement a Smart Station. This includes the establishment of IP-based video systems, integration of advanced ICT technologies, and a 3D-based intelligent integrated monitoring system. These innovations are designed to improve responsiveness to emergencies such as malfunctions and fires, as well as to prevent crimes within stations.
- Advanced IP-Based Video Equipment: The project utilized IP-based video equipment to ensure high-quality video transmission and real-time monitoring.
- Smart Station Implementation: The Smart Station system was deployed, integrating various ICT technologies to provide a comprehensive monitoring solution.
- Collaboration with Experts: STtraffic collaborated with technology experts and stakeholders to ensure the successful implementation of the system.
