New AI traffic control promises faster commutes in Dubai
System reduces journey times by up to 20 percent on major roads.
Dubai’s Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) has rolled out a next-generation traffic signal system using AI and digital twin technology to optimise city traffic. The system, UTC-UX Fusion, dynamically adjusts real-time signals based on predictive traffic models.
UTC-UX Fusion is expected to ease congestion during peak hours and at busy intersections by simulating road scenarios before implementation. RTA reports the system can reduce journey times by up to 20 percent on key routes.
The AI-powered setup enhances mobility by prioritising flows and continuously learning from incoming sensor data. It supports Dubai’s broader smart city strategy for sustainable and data-driven transport infrastructure.
Digital innovation in traffic management is key to urban vision in Dubai, with UTC-UX Fusion promising quicker responses, improved traffic flow, and a more efficient commuting experience.
