The Dubai Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) has recently implemented 10 smart pedestrian signals throughout the city, featuring advanced thermal camera technology. These signals are designed to enhance pedestrian safety by detecting movement on sidewalks and crossings at all times, including during low-light conditions.
Features of the Smart Pedestrian Signals
- Thermal Cameras: Operate 24/7 to monitor pedestrian activity with high accuracy.
- Real-time Detection: Provide timely pedestrian crossing signals based on actual movements.
- Optimization: Communicate with traffic lights to balance traffic flow and prioritize pedestrian safety.
Objectives and Benefits
- Enhance the pedestrian crossing experience across Dubai.
- Reduce accidents by ensuring signals respond appropriately to pedestrian presence.
- Advance Dubai’s smart city vision by integrating innovative urban management technologies.
- Create a safer and more connected environment for residents and visitors alike.
This initiative reflects Dubai’s commitment to leveraging cutting-edge technology in infrastructure and public safety improvements. Authorities are encouraging pedestrians to actively use these smart signals to ensure safer crossings in the city.
