Dubai has recently installed 10 new smart pedestrian signals at various locations throughout the city. These cutting-edge signals utilize intelligent thermal cameras that detect pedestrian movements both on sidewalks and while crossing streets.
The thermal cameras operate 24/7, ensuring accurate monitoring even during low-light conditions. This advanced technology aims to enhance road safety for pedestrians by responding in real-time to their presence, ensuring safer and more efficient crossing experiences.
This initiative is managed by the Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) and forms part of Dubai’s broader commitment to leveraging advanced technology to improve urban living and traffic management.
Key Benefits of the Smart Pedestrian Signals
- Enhanced pedestrian safety through real-time detection and response.
- Improved traffic flow in busy areas by optimizing signal operations.
- Reliable performance regardless of lighting conditions thanks to thermal cameras.
- Contribution to Dubai’s vision of creating smarter and safer urban environments.
These smart pedestrian signals demonstrate Dubai’s ongoing efforts to integrate innovative solutions in urban infrastructure and promote safer mobility for all city residents and visitors.
