Dubai’s Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) has begun trial operations of smart inspection vehicles to monitor and detect violations, restricted activities, and damages within the Dubai Metro and Tram networks. These vehicles are equipped with cameras and advanced intelligence systems, enhancing the inspection of rail right-of-way areas.
Abdulrahman Al Janahi, Director of Rail Right of Way, highlighted in a Khaleej Times report the importance of these smart vehicles in protecting the rail infrastructure. “This technology will not only improve the efficiency of our inspections but also help us quickly identify and address any issues, ensuring the safety and reliability of our rail services,” he said. The vehicles use artificial intelligence to keep pace with advancements in the rail network.
The initiative aims to achieve full coverage of inspection areas, double the speed of report preparation, 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.
