Mattar Al Tayer, Director-General and Chairman of the Board of Executive Directors of Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) introduced the final touch of 75 projects as a part of the Smart City and Artificial Intelligence Programme. Projects finished relating to the clever agency, infrastructure, smart automobiles, data control, synthetic intelligence, and clever and sustainable delivery.
RTA has carried out a bunch of smart projects and initiatives such as Raqeeb machine, which video display units the situation of 300 bus drivers. The machine contributed to decreasing fatigue-related injuries by means of sixty-five %. The day by day price of exhaustion or loss of attentiveness instances detected by using the gadget ranged from five to 8 cases. RTA has added the machine to two of Dubai Trams on a trial base.
RTA has additionally completed the set up of surveillance cameras in more than 10,000 taxis in Dubai. The cameras contributed to pushing clients pleasure rating to as lots as eighty-three %.
“Projects completed consist of Al Merqab machine; which streamlines and video display units the limousine and e-Hail corporations. The device offers a technique to the key demanding situations encountered relating to the streamlining and governance of e-Hail corporations. More than five,2 hundred gadgets had been hooked up in limos with 114 operators, and all e-mail groups (Uber and Careem) were related to the system. Al Merqab monitors about six million trips,” explained Al Tayer.
Phase III
RTA has finished Phase III of the Automated System for Monitoring Dedicated Bus Lanes, which has decreased the range of cars violating the bus lane by using 83% and advanced bus on-time arrival by way of 20%.
Projects encompass the smart pedestrian signaling device at 15 locations. Through clever sensors, the machine will increase or abolishes the time allocated to pedestrians, based totally on the human’s movement detected by means of the machine. Projects include the clever parking reserving device enabling the patron to book parking earlier than arrival to the meant destination.
It has additionally brought the sphere inspection of vehicles unit. It is a clever vehicle geared up with clever answers to support the monitoring and inspection of heavy vehicles. The process involves a mobile monitoring center to target hotspots witnessing frequent offenses and the provision of vehicles inspection robot.
Unified Control
RTA has completed a brand new segment inside the deployment of a new wave of superior technology on the Enterprise Command and Control Centre (EC3).

In 2018, the Centre monitored greater than one hundred seventy occasions across the Emirate to make sure the smooth mobility during activities along with the reaction time to emergency cases associated with mobility. Through the adoption of synthetic intelligence, the Centre methods large statistics amounting to 75 million mobility information-access per day.
These technologies allow RTA to plot smart mobility, enhance shipping performance and beautify customers experience.
Heat Maps
Last yr, RTA brought the clever warmth maps programme for taxis; which indicates taxi drivers excessive-demand spots for the taxi offerings. The programme is being up to date right away thru data collected and analyzed by way of artificial intelligence techniques on the EC3. The programme has stepped forward the taxi arrival time by nine% and extended the charge of bookings made via 17%.
