Seoul and SK Telecom to use 5G to prevent jaywalking
Seoul and SK Telecom plan to develop "cooperative-intelligent transport systems" that will utilize 5G and car telecommunication to increase safety, the two companies announced. They will install 5G and sensors at major roads in South Korea's capital. They will also supply 5G Vehicle-to-Everything handsets to 2,000 buses, taxis, and traffic lights. The handsets will be co-developed by SK Telecom and Samsung Electronics. The project is worth 25.4 billion won ($22.6 million) and will be completed by 2020. The installation of the handsets will allow buses and taxis to communicate with traffic lights. A control centre will analize the data from the communications and send a warning to the vehicles when there is danger.
