en.Wedoany.com Reported - Sage (Co-CEOs Park Jong-woo and Hong Young-seok) has signed a business agreement with Incheon International Airport Corporation (Acting President and Vice President Kim Beom-ho) to verify an edge AI-based comprehensive safety control system for shuttle trains at Incheon Airport. The project aims to realize the "Incheon Airport AI Port."

Under the agreement, Incheon International Airport Corporation is responsible for providing the test bed and public data required for testing, as well as offering administrative support and feedback. Sage is responsible for developing the pilot project, conducting technical verification and field validation, and building a safe and reliable testing environment in accordance with AI ethics principles. The agreement is valid for one year from the date of signing.

The system validated by Sage adds AI semiconductor (NPU) devices to the existing CCTV cameras on shuttle trains, enabling real-time detection of three functions at the camera end: intrusion detection in hazardous areas of high-voltage lines, identification of non-wearing of safety helmets (PPE), and detection of fallen workers. The system utilizes existing CCTV infrastructure and can be deployed without additional construction.

Incheon Airport's shuttle trains, with an annual transport volume exceeding 20 million passengers, are a core transportation facility. Currently, the operating AI CCTV is limited to platform congestion analysis, leaving safety monitoring blind spots in high-risk areas such as intrusion into hazardous zones of track high-voltage lines and detection of fallen workers.

Sage's edge NPU architecture can operate independently without a network in communication blind spots such as underground tunnels and substations, and does not transmit original images externally, complying with airport security regulations such as the Aviation Security Act. Unlike server-based image analysis, which requires seconds for network transmission and computation, this architecture enables immediate response within 1-2 seconds for incidents like high-voltage line contact accidents.

Field validation will verify intrusion detection accuracy, fall detection response time, and safety helmet identification accuracy at five platform entrances and exits, with plans to expand to all sections of Terminal 1, the Concourse, and Terminal 2.

Sage CEO Hong Young-seok stated that its edge AI security technology can be deployed immediately in complex airport infrastructure environments, and the company will formally verify this solution through cooperation with Incheon International Airport Corporation. Starting with this airport shuttle train validation, the company plans to expand its AI safety control platform to national railways and transportation infrastructure.
