The SCP Seminar is a place to listen to and learn the latest technology trends and use cases with Smart Construction Pioneers in smart construction. 

The Smart Construction Project Team held the 68th SCP Seminar under the "CIM (Construction Information Model) Utilization Case in Japan" theme with Yoshihiko Fukuchi, Ph.D. Kim Hae-jin, Director of Autodesk.

• date : 2023. 9. 4. (mon), Korea Expressway Corporation Smart ConstructionProject Team (1F Smart Construction Test Bed Operation Center)

• presenter : Yoshihiko Fukuchi Ph.D. ,  (Autodesk Korea) Hai Jin Kim Director

• content : Japan CIM (construction information model) Case of utilization, Sustainable Growth with Digital Transformation

□ The Korea Expressway Corporation (President Ham Jin-kyu) announced that it conducted training on smart construction and construction information modeling (BIM) for public officials belonging to the Ministry of Construction in Vietnam, the largest trading country in ASEAN*, for five days from the 21st (Mon).

* ASEAN(Association of Southeast Asian Nations) : Established in 1967, the Association of Southeast Asian Nations has a total of 10 countries.

□ This training is significant in that it is the first smart construction technology-themed education training in Korea for foreign public officials, and the corporation and the Korea BIM Society participated jointly as part of the knowledge sharing project(KSP**).

** KSP(Knowledge Sharing Program) : Knowledge-based development cooperation projects that suggest policy advice to developing countries based on domestic knowledge and experience

□ 10 public officials from the Vietnamese Construction Ministry participated in the training, experiencing various technologies and platforms to utilize construction information modeling (BIM) in the SOC field and sharing related policies and technology development directions in Korea.

□ In addition, the Korea Expressway Corporation introduced the smart construction technology R&D project, visited companies participating in research, and experienced various smart technologies through a tour of highway construction sites such as Godeok Bridge and Hangang Tunnel.

□ Meanwhile, the Korea Expressway Corporation and the Vietnam Construction Economy Research Institute signed a letter of intent to cooperate to introduce and utilize smart construction technology in Vietnam on the 25th (Friday), laying the foundation for smart technology exchange between the two countries.

□ "We are focusing on demonstration and practical use so that the technology under development can be applied to the field," said Cho Sung-min, head of the Korea Expressway Corporation's smart construction project.

The August monthly meeting on 12 detailed policies and systems for smart construction technology development projects was held at the General Operation Center on August 22nd (Tue).

The Korea Expressway Association, the Construction Policy Institute, Dasan ENG, and the Korea Expressway Corporation gathered to summarize the research results before the second phase of the 2023 evaluation and guide them on precautions when writing future reports.

AI-based unsafe situation image recognition technology on R&D in the Chung-Ang University Laboratory has been set up at the Smart Construction Test Bed Operation Center for a demonstration.
The technology is an object detection approach that recognizes workers wearing and not wearing safety helmets on construction sites. It alerts workers to unsafe actions by playing an audible alarm through the device's speaker.
Thanks to researchers Dr. Syed Farhan Alam Zaidi, Muhammad Sibtain Abbas, and Kim Dohyeong for installing of the technology at the Smart Construction Test Bed Operations Center.
