Intelligent Transport System

An Intelligent Transport System (ITS) applies electronics, control and communication technology to roads and vehicles, so that traffic operations are managed scientifically and automatically — making the network both more efficient and safer.

There is a limit to how many lanes you can add. ITS is about using the road you already have more intelligently — reading how each vehicle moves, retiming signals, warning of a queue before it forms, and noticing an incident within seconds.

SangLim builds the whole chain: AI deep-learning detection that collects live traffic data, the processing that turns it into usable information, and the roadside displays, bus terminals and control room dashboards that deliver it.

01

AI Detection

Deep-learning video analytics

Detects vehicles, pedestrians and two-wheelers alike, and turns the road into numbers — volume, speed and occupancy, recalculated second by second.

02

Unified Display

Built in-house, end to end

VMS roadside signs, BIT bus terminals and charging-station displays are all designed and manufactured by SangLim, so size and format follow the site rather than the catalogue.

03

Center Integration

One screen for the whole corridor

Collected information is fed into control-room dashboards and agency systems, so an incident picked up in the field flows straight into the response procedure.

04

Field Reliability

Designed for the outdoors

Heat, cold, vibration and lightning are assumed from the start — and inspection and maintenance after installation are handled by the manufacturer directly.

HOW IT WORKS

From road data to something a driver can read

A sensor reading passes through three stages before it becomes a sentence on a sign.

01ROADSIDE

Collect

Detectors and cameras on the road read every vehicle’s presence, speed, plate and image, second by second.

  • VDS loop / radar detectors
  • AVI plate recognition
  • CCTV video detection
  • GNSS probe data
02CENTRE

Process

AI deep-learning models turn the raw feed into flow states, incident alerts and predicted travel times.

  • Volume & occupancy
  • Automatic incident detection
  • Travel-time prediction
  • Historical archive
03FIELD

Deliver

The processed information goes straight back to the road and to the traveller’s screen.

  • VMS roadside displays
  • BIT bus information
  • Signal control link
  • Open API & apps
SERVICE DOMAINS

Seven service domains

01

Traffic management

Signals, incidents and enforcement run as one system

02

Public transport

Bus position and arrival times delivered to riders

03

Electronic payment

Tolls and fares settled without stopping

04

Data distribution

Collected information shared with agencies and industry

05

Value-added services

Parking, weather and tourism data linked in

06

Intelligent vehicle & road

Vehicles and roads cooperating over radio

07

Freight operations

Safety and efficiency for goods vehicles

C-ITS

Cooperative ITS

Classic ITS sends information down from a control centre. C-ITS lets vehicles, roads and pedestrians exchange it directly — the precondition for automated driving.

In C-ITS, vehicles, the road, pedestrians and the centre all exchange information. Where classic ITS pushes data one way from a control centre, C-ITS warns everyone the moment a hazard appears.

NECESSITY

Why it matters

POINT 01

Improved safety at accident-prone locations

POINT 02

Higher accuracy in vehicle recognition

POINT 03

Relief for chronically congested sections

POINT 04

Detection of pedestrians and two-wheelers that sensors miss

POLICY

Policy direction — ITS Master Plan 2030

Korea’s Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport set out four strategies under the vision of “green, safe and seamless people-centred transport services”.

STRATEGY 01

Infrastructure for new modes of mobility

Laying the road foundation that automated vehicles and UAM will need before they arrive.

STRATEGY 02

Closing the safety blind spots with AI

Video analytics detects pedestrians and two-wheelers that conventional detectors miss.

STRATEGY 03

A base for user-tailored services

Opening the collected traffic data so private services can build on top of it.

STRATEGY 04

Support for exporting Korean ITS

Turning technology proven at home into an export industry.
