RTA launches trial operation of smart inspection vehicle

Dubai’s Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) has launched the trial operation of smart inspection vehicle operations, that are designed to monitor the rail right-of-way areas using advanced intelligence systems and cameras.

The vehicle can detect violations, restricted activities, and damage within such zones and aims to streamline daily inspection work across all rail right-of-way areas related to the Dubai Metro and Tram networks by utilising modern technological systems.

The initiative aims to achieve full coverage of inspection areas, double the speed of preparing inspection reports, and ensure the reliability of outputs. It also seeks to reduce human errors in the inspection process and provide solid support for making well-informed decisions.

Abdulrahman Al Janahi, Director of Rail Right of Way, at RTA’s Rail Agency said, “The technology will not only improve the efficiency of our inspections but also help us to quickly identify and address any issues, ensuring the safety and reliability of our rail services. The smart inspection vehicle uses artificial intelligence to keep up with rail network advancements.”

The RTA says it remains dedicated to adopting cutting-edge technologies that support sustainable and efficient public transportation systems.
