(Connect Daily = Reporter, Kim Young-do) Wavus, a leader in domestic spatial information integration solutions, presented the future of integrated urban air traffic control solutions by introducing a digital twin-based "GeOnDT" that can control drone delivery and PAV and PBV operations in urban areas.

 Wavus (CEO Kim, Hak-sung) participated in the 2024 Drone Show Korea Spatial Information Convergence Alliance held at BEXCO in Haeundae, Busan from the 6th to the 8th to display the digital twin-based drone and urban air traffic integrated control system 'GeOnDT'.

 GeOnDT, a digital twin-based three-dimensional integrated platform, was developed to easily develop various applications in a web environment by providing 3D spatial editing APIs and various 3D business analysis functions and simulations.

 It supports OGC standards (WMS, WFS, 3D TILES, etc.) and has the advantage of being able to issue and manage various additional data services using its own development construction tools (Builder) and servers.

 In addition, GeOnDT, developed based on open source, provides user-centered development convenience by providing various 3D utilization examples and sample codes, etc., with easy scalability to add and modify necessary functions.

 Looking at the main features, it is possible to create a safe route for an aircraft and modify the route in real time even in unpredictable situations, and to create a stable route as changes in the aircraft, photography, various weather changes, and multi-aircraft generation can be implemented through practical simulation.

 In particular, spatial information containing the location and altitude attributes of geographic features can be used, supporting an event module that can input altitude according to the input coordinates when creating a route with the coordinates input by the user in a 3D space, and tracking and management of the generated route is possible by avoiding buildings and topography that are expected to collide.

 It has various applications like car navigation using location information values in that it can predict various variables for the aircraft's flight path in advance from a user's point of view.

 Wavus is participating in the Gwangmyeong City project, which was previously selected in the UAM-related data demonstration technology field in the digital twin national land pilot project of the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport in July last year.

 In addition, as Gwangmyeong City signed an agreement on the development of UAM pilot routes in the metropolitan area" in November last year to connect KTX Gwangmyeong Station from Incheon Airport, Wavus' digital twin technology is expected to expand its business area to the integrated control solution market in the urban air transportation sector."

Meanwhile, according to the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport's announcement, the UAM global market is expected to grow  at an annual rate of USD 10. 9 billion (about KRW  14.6 trillion) in  2025, USD 51.6  billion (about KRW  68.9 trillion) in 2030, and the domestic market will reach USD  609 billion (about KRW 813  trillion) by 2040, reaching KRW 13 trillion.
