Dubai Roads Will Now Be Controlled by Artificial Intelligence
The new system is expected to be completed by 2026, with aims to cut congestion by up to 20%.
Dubai Roads and Transport Authority has launched its next-generation traffic signal control system, UTC-UX Fusion, aiming to enhance traffic flow and reduce congestion by up to 20% across major intersections in the city.
Utilising artificial intelligence, predictive analytics and digital twin technology, the system will dynamically optimise signal timings in response to real-time traffic conditions. This will shorten journey times and prioritise emergence vehicles and public transport, making commuting more efficient for motorists, pedestrians and cyclists alike.
The system will enable data-driven traffic management, allowing adjustments to be tested through simulations before being implemented. Additionally, it lays the groundwork for future smart mobility initiatives, such as Cooperative Intelligent Transport Systems (C-ITS/V2X), which will facilitate communication between vehicles and traffic signals.
The system is expected to be completed by 2026.
