Korean AI Semiconductor corporations Mobilint will take part in a public project to convert CCTV on expressways nationwide into an artificial intelligence (AI)-based intelligent control system in partnership with AI video analysis corporations Intellivix.
Mobilint said on the 11th that it plans to apply a Korean AI Semiconductor to public infrastructure through this project and accelerate its push into the public AI video analysis market.
The project is a public AI CCTV conversion project led by National Information Society Agency (NIA) with Korea Expressway Corporation (KEC) participating. The core is converting about 4,000 CCTVs installed on expressways nationwide into an AI-based control system.
The project applies a method that combines a Korean AI Semiconductor-based AI inference server and a video analysis platform while keeping the existing CCTVs and network infrastructure. This supports AI in detecting and verifying in real time a range of unexpected situations, including traffic accidents, stopped vehicles, wrong-way driving, and pedestrians.
In particular, it combines vision AI and a vision-language model (VLM) to increase the accuracy of recognizing unexpected situations. When vision AI detects object movements and anomalies such as vehicles and pedestrians in CCTV footage, the VLM comprehensively analyzes the before-and-after context of the video and the surrounding road environment to determine whether an actual accident occurred.
As a result, the explanation is that it enables an intelligent control system in which AI filters abnormal situations and provides only the necessary footage, moving away from the conventional approach where control personnel directly monitor numerous CCTV screens.
Mobilint will supply AI inference servers and its in-house developed AI accelerator "MLA400" for this project. In connection with Intellivix's AI video analysis platform, it will build an AI inference infrastructure that processes video data generated by thousands of CCTVs in real time. The goal is to stably operate large-scale video analysis services through a low-power, high-efficiency AI inference environment.
It also connects with legacy systems such as the existing video management system (VMS) and network video recorder (NVR). The company said AI video analysis functions can be added without replacing CCTVs, reducing build expense and time.
The two companies previously collaborated on a Korean AI Semiconductor-based wildfire monitoring AI project. After jointly validating AI video analysis algorithms and the AI inference environment at the time, they have now expanded the scope of cooperation to the nationwide traffic safety field.
Mobilint plans to use this project as a springboard to expand its business into the public AI video analysis market not only for traffic safety but also for Smart City, disaster safety, and industrial safety.
Kim Seong-mo, head of business development at Mobilint, said, "This project is a meaningful case of a Korean AI Semiconductor implementing large-scale AI control services in an actual public AI infrastructure," and added, "Based on cooperation with Intellivix, we will expand the application of Korean AI Semiconductors across various public sectors such as transportation, disaster safety, and Smart City."
