Prime Highlights
- RTA’s smart AI monitoring system monitored 1.74 million training sessions for 245,764 trainees, 14 times enhanced supervision effectiveness.
- Inspection time decreased from 20 minutes to 1 minute, with fivefold enhancement in violation detection, improving safety compliance.
Key Fact
- Dubai RTA launched an AI-powered smart monitoring system with high-end cameras to monitor driving schools, transforming training monitoring and safety enforcement.
Key Background
Dubai’s Roads and Transport Authority( RTA) has enforced an innovative AI- powered Smart Monitoring System that uses cameras, computer vision, and machine literacy to oversee motorist training in real time. The action reflects Dubai’s strategy to lead in smart mobility and digital governance while perfecting compliance and safety across driving institutes.
Within the period of seven months, the system logged 1,734,790 training activities for 245,764 trainees, up 14 times from the comparable period last year. The growth rates indicate robust take-up by training schools and the impact of technology to enhance supervision standards.
The system, which is controlled by the Licensing Intelligent Operations Centre and field inspector tablets, has significantly simplified operations. Inspection duration fell from 20 minutes to a minute, allowing for quicker oversight. Violation detection was also enhanced five times, ensuring stricter compliance with training procedures and protocols on safety.
AI-driven system identifies offenses such as the use of mobile phones, seat belt violation, deviation from training tracks, improper attire, and driver distraction in the form of drinking or eating. Computerizing these check-ups has eliminated human bias and thus keeps trainees and instructors under constant surveillance without any favoritism.
RTA also proposes to implement predictive analytics and incorporate instructor performance metrics into licensing procedures to further support regulation. These solutions are designed to improve decision-making, encourage compliance, and improve driving instruction quality throughout Dubai. Strategic collaborations with training colleges guarantee that every standard is synchronized with regulatory guidelines, setting the stage for better and safer mobility.
This AI-driven system marks a milestone in Dubai’s transformation into a digitally advanced smart city, setting new benchmarks for driver training and public safety.
