The Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) has launched a smart digital platform that monitors and analyses traffic across Dubai. The system delivers instant messages and notifications on traffic flow throughout the city’s streets, helping drivers and officials respond quickly to changing conditions.
According to the RTA, the platform supports decision-making by tracking daily traffic changes, assessing current conditions, and comparing performance over time. It can detect recurring congestion patterns, identify bottlenecks, and flag any sudden drops in vehicle speed.
