Dubai has unveiled plans to implement trackless trams at eight pivotal locations throughout the city. These state-of-the-art, driverless trams will operate on electric power and navigate using a virtual track system that relies on camera-based detection of painted road markings, eliminating the need for fixed railway tracks.
This virtual track technology offers several benefits including easier operation, simplified maintenance, reduced infrastructure expenses, and minimized disruptions during both installation and ongoing operation. This initiative supports Dubai’s broader vision to expand and modernize its public transport network with a focus on sustainable and smart mobility solutions.
Key Features of the Trackless Tram Project
- Use of camera-guided virtual tracks instead of traditional rails
- Fully driverless tram operation
- Powered by clean electric energy
- Reduced infrastructure complexity and cost
- Flexible routing and easier maintenance
Additional Public Transport Enhancements
In conjunction with the trackless tram rollout, Dubai’s government confirmed plans to:
- Expand dedicated bus lanes to increase accessibility
- Reduce overall traffic congestion
- Improve the speed and comfort of public transit options for residents and visitors
Deputy officials are optimistic that these advancements will play a significant role in enhancing urban mobility and lowering the environmental impact associated with conventional transportation methods.
