Eastrideck will oversee the PMO and the building of the integrated smart city operations framework for the project, and plans to use it to secure experience in city-level AI operations and references for public AX and overseas smart city projects.
Eastrideck has system operations capabilities built through its traffic and mobility infrastructure businesses, and it is expanding those capabilities into city-level AI transformation (AX). The company is broadening its business scope from existing operations experience to cover entire cities.
Eastrideck said it will unveil an AI-based integrated urban operations framework to be applied to 'Wonju K-AI City' at the '2026 World Smart City Expo (WSCE 2026),' which runs from 9 to 11. Wonju K-AI City is an AI-specialized pilot city project promoted by the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport, with a total project cost of KRW 198.1 billion.
The project aims to link data and AI across the city, including transportation, housing, disaster safety, and healthcare. It also aims to use the analysis results in actual administration and in on-site responses.
Eastrideck was selected for the project in last June and, as the representative of the private consortium, will oversee the PMO and the building of the integrated smart city operations framework. Eastrideck plans to integrate AI technologies dispersed across individual systems and combine on-site data, while building a 'city intelligence center' that supports decision-making based on analysis of urban conditions.
The city intelligence center will go beyond existing smart city monitoring functions and serve as a control tower for putting AI analysis data to practical use in urban operations. The center will link data across transportation, safety, and healthcare and, based on the integrated data, assess situations and support the necessary administrative responses and on-site responses.
The company plans to use the Wonju project as a basis for expanding its business area from its existing transportation and mobility business to an AI integrated platform. To this end, it plans to secure experience in city-level AI operations and use that as a reference for entering the domestic public AX market and overseas smart city projects.
Eastrideck emphasized that through this project it plans to demonstrate its ability to organically connect and operate infrastructure, and to use the project as a standard model for entering the public AX market in the future. It also said it plans to use the project as a standard model for entering the global AX market in the future.
