AI safety solutions firm UniUni said on April 4 that it signed an agreement with the Incheon Transit Corporation on March 31 to deploy a non‑video risk‑detection AI system in restrooms at major transfer stations on Incheon Subway Line 2.
The agreement seeks to establish a real‑time safety management framework in sensitive areas—such as restrooms—where installing CCTV is difficult. The pilot covers three key transfer stations on Line 2: Geomam, Gajeong, and Juan.
The two parties plan to run the pilot for about one year. During that time they will evaluate the system’s operational stability, suitability for field conditions, and public acceptance.
UniUni will deploy Savvy, a non‑video AI solution that uses sensors rather than cameras to analyze distance‑change patterns within a space. The system is designed to detect abnormal events in real time—including attempts at illicit recording, fainting, falls, and assaults—and to send alerts to managers.
Because it does not collect video data, the system reduces privacy concerns. Observers view it as an application that addresses safety blind spots in public transit while also protecting riders’ privacy.
A UniUni representative said the project could mark a technological turning point in eliminating public‑safety blind spots and added that the company aims to help create an environment where citizens can use transit with confidence.
