Dubai’s RTA has launched a trial project utilizing a vehicle designed for AI-assisted automated detection of damage to the Right-Of-Way and inspection of traffic diversions on the city’s roads. Right-Of-Way refers to objects placed on areas next to the roads, with an RTA permit.
The smart vehicle is equipped with high-precision tools, including cameras, sensors, and technical devices, to collect data on the condition of the right-of-way and ensure traffic diversions comply with RTA’s approved technical standards and specifications. It can detect damage to road furniture and facilities, generate reports, and upload them to the system automatically without human intervention.
Hussain Al Banna, CEO of the Traffic and Roads Agency, stated, “RTA is keen on improving the operational efficiency of monitoring and detecting damage to the right-of-way and response time. The deliverables will contribute to extending the lifespan and sustainability of assets and facilities while maintaining the urban aesthetic of Dubai.”
Al Banna emphasized that the innovative technology achieves accuracy rates exceeding 85% compared to traditional methods and ensures traffic diversions are implemented according to approved specifications, facilitating smooth and safe traffic flow.
This initiative highlights RTA’s dedication to utilizing the latest digital and artificial intelligence technologies to improve the quality of the road network and enhance traffic safety in Dubai, aligning with its vision to become the global leader in seamless and sustainable mobility.
