The Dubai Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) has launched an innovative pilot program utilizing drones to clean traffic signals. This new approach aims to make maintenance operations both faster and more cost-effective.
According to early results, the use of drones significantly improves cleaning efficiency:
- Drones can clean one side of a traffic signal in just three to four minutes.
- This method reduces operation time by 25 to 50 percent compared to traditional techniques.
- Cleaning costs are lowered by up to 15 percent.
The drone technology offers several advantages for maintenance workers:
- It allows safe and efficient cleaning of hard-to-reach areas.
- Workers no longer need ladders or bulky equipment, as drones can easily fly to traffic lights.
This initiative is part of Dubai’s broader commitment to leveraging smart technology to enhance city services. If the pilot program continues to succeed, the RTA plans to expand drone usage to keep traffic signals clean and clearly visible, thereby improving road safety across the city.
