HNTech HANATech System

Hanatek System and Gwacheon City jointly applied for a patent “Right-turn Pedestrian Warning System” technology applied to Gwacheon City. 

The right-turn vehicle pedestrian warning system helps vehicles decelerate and inducing vehicles to stop by notifying electric displays to drivers of the appearance of pedestrians at crosswalks. To prevent accidents between vehicles and pedestrians, traffic regulations on right-turns have been revised since January 2022. If a vehicle turns right before pedestrians complete walking the crosswalk, it is believed that the driver violated his duty to protect pedestrians. The driver is subject to 10 penalty points and a fine of 60,000 won for a passenger car and 70,000 won for a van. In case of 2 violations, the car insurance will have a 5% premium incurred in the following year. In case of 4 or more violations, up to a 10% premium will be incurred. Also, if an accident occurs while turning right, it is understood as 12 gross negligence and imprisonment for not more than 5 years or a fine of not more than 20M won. Administrative and criminal punishments such as license suspension, fines and penalty points can be applied. In some districts, a dedicated right-turn signal is installed, but when pedestrians cross the street, vehicles turning right may cause an accident without recognizing the presence of pedestrians. To prevent such cases in advance, Hanatek System has developed a system to prevent accidents by detecting pedestrians in the crosswalk and intuitively notifying the driver of the presence of pedestrians in right-turning vehicles. It is expected that the accident rate between right-turning vehicles and pedestrians will decrease in the future.
