For some time now, people don't have to wait for their bus aimlessly at a bus stop.
They can check the estimated time of arrival via smartphones in advance. Or electronic
display boards at bus stations will tell you when the next bus will arrive via automated
voice system.
Like this, traffic information can be provided systematically as Seoul Transport
Operation & Information Service(Topis) has introduced traffic control system. South
Korea's traffic situation is monitored throughout the day and the data is provided to
road users in real time. During Chusok holiday, highway control system finds out if
there is a traffic jam due to vehicles heading to their hometowns. In the past, it took up
to 12 hours to get to Busan from Seoul on Chusok. But lately the time nearly halved
mainly due to the Korea Highway Corp.'s traffic control system. From the Central
Monitoring Center, it monitors national highway conditions through high definition
CCTV cameras installed every 2 kilometers. Road users can access information on
accidents and congested areas via Korea Highway's website or downloading its
application. It can also send you text messages on the fastest routes. We introduce you
the traffic control system that is in charge of road traffic in South Korea.
