Dubai has recently installed 10 new smart pedestrian signals across various locations in the city. These signals are equipped with advanced thermal cameras that detect pedestrian movement on sidewalks and while crossing streets. The thermal cameras operate around the clock, ensuring they sense movement accurately even under low-light conditions, significantly enhancing pedestrian safety.
The primary goal of these smart signals is to improve road safety by making street crossing easier and safer for pedestrians. By sensing real-time movement, the traffic systems can adjust accordingly, which helps reduce accidents and optimize traffic flow.
The initiative is spearheaded by the Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) of Dubai, which aims to integrate cutting-edge technology such as thermal imaging into everyday city operations to foster a safer and smarter urban environment.
This project highlights Dubai’s strong commitment to leveraging smart technology to improve the quality of life for both its residents and visitors. The city continues to be a leader in implementing innovative solutions to urban challenges.
Key highlights of the smart pedestrian signals:
- Installation of 10 new signals featuring thermal cameras.
- 24/7 operation with reliable detection in low-light and various weather conditions.
- Improved pedestrian safety by sensing real-time movement.
- Traffic systems that respond automatically to pedestrian activity.
- Part of Dubai’s broader smart city initiatives led by the RTA.
