The Integrated Transport Centre (Abu Dhabi Mobility) has a range of smart traffic projects to highlight at #ITSDubai2024. His Excellency Abdulla Al Marzouqi, director general of the organisation, says: “Through partnerships with global experts, we aim to explore the best practices and exchange knowledge on future innovations in smart transport.” Its Intelligent Transport Central Platform (ITCP) uses artificial intelligence to integrate monitoring and incident management systems into a unified platform, enabling automatic detection of problems on the roads. “Safety is priority number one,” Yousef Al Madani of Abu Dhabi Mobility (pictured) told Daily News. “ITCP will help reduce congestion and increase the efficiency of traffic management. We are using AI and Big Data, and giving the opportunity for companies to do proof of concepts. We also want to be the first in the region to implement robotaxis.”
Its TXAI project features a fleet of autonomous vehicles (self-driving taxis and mini-buses) operating on Yas and Saadiyat Islands, while the agency’s automated rapid transit (ART) project uses AI for navigation and positioning. The organisation is also showing off its Weigh in Motion system, which includes the installation of 12 smart electronic gates to accurately monitor the weight of commercial vehicles to enhance road safety and protect the emirate’s infrastructure.
Abu Dhabi Mobility’s commitment to safety and security also comes through in a scheme for school transport: the Salama system tracks school buses, allowing parents to see that their children have safely got on and off as they go to and from their studies.
