Morai (CEO Jeong Ji-won, Hong Jun), a specialist in autonomous driving simulation, announced on the twenty third that it had virtualized the Yeungnam University campus right into a digital twin and built a test bed for testing and verification of autonomous vehicles based on this.

As certainly one of the regional innovation projects (RIS) based on local government-university cooperation, Morai is collaborating with the 'Daegu-Gyeongbuk Regional Innovation Platform Future Vehicle Conversion Parts Business Group' to foster talent.

Morai constructed a digital twin map of the whole Yeungnam University campus, specializing in roads that vehicles can drive on the Yeungnam University campus. By accurately replicating the actual campus environment, we were in a position to test various scenarios that might occur under actual road conditions.

In consequence, Yeungnam University autonomous driving researchers and students have strengthened the research base for future mobility technology, comparable to verifying the driving algorithm and system safety of autonomous vehicles on the virtual campus map.

Jeong Ji-won, CEO of Morai, said, “Yeungnam University students and researchers will have the opportunity to efficiently conduct performance and safety verification research on autonomous vehicles in a virtual environment through Morai’s autonomous driving simulation software, which may even contribute to improving the standard of autonomous driving technology research.” “We sit up for it,” he said, adding, “Morai plans to proceed supporting the event of local industries and the expansion of the mobility industry through various cooperation programs.”
