Dubai, recognised globally for its smart city vision and advanced infrastructure, has introduced a new chapter in urban mobility. The RTA has launched “Data Drive – Clear Guide,” an AI-powered traffic monitoring platform designed to reduce congestion, enhance traffic flow, and deliver real-time insights to ensure the emirate’s road network operates seamlessly.
The platform combines five years of historical traffic data with live road conditions, providing minute-by-minute updates through an interactive map. Analyses that previously required weeks can now be completed within minutes, allowing the RTA to respond with greater speed and precision.
With this system, users can:
- Track average speeds and travel times across specific roads.
- Identify recurring congestion hotspots and periods of smooth flow.
- Receive instant alerts about accidents, jams, or unusual slowdowns.
- Monitor traffic diversions and road performance during major events.
- Generate before-and-after reports to measure the success of roadworks or new infrastructure.
Transforming Dubai’s roads
The advantages of this AI-powered system extend well beyond daily commutes. By identifying congestion patterns and forecasting potential bottlenecks, the RTA can manage traffic more proactively, minimise delays, and enhance the overall efficiency of the road network. For both residents and visitors, this results in reduced travel times, smoother journeys, and a more dependable transport experience.
Dubai’s smart city vision
The launch of “Data Drive – Clear Guide” shows Dubai’s commitment to using modern technology to shape the future of transport. As the city continues to grow, the system will help meet rising demand and strengthen Dubai’s role as a global hub for business and tourism, while also setting an example for smart and sustainable city living.
