Dubai’s Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) has launched a pilot program for smart inspection vehicle operations. The vehicle is designed to monitor the rail right-of-way areas using advanced intelligence systems and equipped with cameras. This innovative vehicle can detect violations, restricted activities, and damage within such zones.
Streamlining inspection work across rail networks
The initiative further aims to streamline daily inspection work across all rail right-of-way areas related to the Dubai Metro and Tram networks by leveraging modern technological systems. Abdulrahman Al Janahi, Director of Rail Right of Way at RTA’s Rail Agency, stated that this project is a collaborative effort with the Smart Services Department.
“This 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,” Al Janahi added. The smart inspection vehicle utilizes artificial intelligence to keep pace with the advancements in the rail network.
Moreover, the key goals of this initiative are 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.
Leveraging smart solutions for transportation excellence
“This project underscores RTA’s commitment to leveraging smart solutions to enhance operational efficiency and infrastructure safety. The use of smart inspection vehicle is expected to significantly improve the effectiveness of rail inspections, ensuring comprehensive coverage and timely reporting of any anomalies,” Al Janahi highlighted.
Commitment to cutting-edge technologies
RTA remains dedicated to adopting cutting-edge technologies that support sustainable and efficient public transportation systems. Additionally, the trial operation of the smart inspection vehicle marks a significant step forward in RTA’s efforts to safeguard Dubai’s rail infrastructure and deliver excellence in transportation services.
