Dubai’s Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) has launched an innovative digital platform named “Data Drive – Clear Guide,” designed to tackle traffic congestion head-on. Leveraging both real-time and historical traffic data from the past five years, the AI-powered system provides an interactive map that enables authorities to immediately assess road speeds, congestion hotspots, recurring traffic patterns, and smooth-flow periods. This sophisticated tool marks a significant shift from manual, time-consuming traffic reporting—what once took weeks can now be analyzed within minutes—ensuring faster, data-driven decisions to ease delays.
Beyond live monitoring, “Data Drive – Clear Guide” boosts operational efficiency through automated alerts and advanced analytics. Traffic teams can now respond promptly to diversions, roadworks, or unexpected drops in speed, while automatically generated reports help evaluate the impact of road interventions. This unfolds in real time, enabling authorities to adapt and optimize traffic flow dynamically—reinforcing Dubai’s vision of becoming the world’s smartest city and a global hub for transportation innovation and sustainability.
