New E-Scooter and Bike Monitor System for Dubai Presented
As a product of close collaboration between key stakeholders and service provider the Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) has introduced a new platform for monitoring and managing soft mobility vehicles – schooters and bicycles.
This platform seeks to advance sustainable mobility by employing AI technologies. It is part of the endeavours to fulfil the ambitions to bolster Dubai’s standing as one of the world’s smartest cities and achieve the UAE’s vision to have a leading global role in AI by 2031.
Reflecting on the launch of the platform, Hussain Al Banna, CEO of Strategy and Corporate Governance Sector at RTA, said: “This platform is a crucial initiative under the umbrella of RTA’s Enterprise Command and Control Centre (EC3), aimed at enhancing the quality of services and smooth, safe, and secure mobility for users. It assists in the preparation of technical studies and promotes the integration of multiple mobility means.”
Over 2,500 e-scooters are operated across 21 regions (11 new areas were added in the first quarter of 2023). Shared e-scooters made more than one million trips in 2022. In Addition, the 1,750 shared bikes provided in 28 areas across Dubai recorded over 1.3 million trips in 2022.
