RTA Dubai uses Artificial Intelligence to monitor Taxi Drivers on-road behavior

RTA (Road Transport Authority) Dubai deploys artificial intelligence (AI) techniques to monitor the behavior of taxi drivers in cooperation with Acacus Technologies, developer of the smart camera system in taxis. The project is a proactive measure to know the behavior of the driver, using the captured images of their performance behind the wheel by smart cameras and other AI systems installed in the vehicles.

The quality of images about driver’s on-road behavior captured by the AI systems and transmitted to the monitoring center for analysis is as high as 99.92 percent. The move is expected to enable RTA to identify and alert drivers who breach traffic rules and regulations and subject them to rehabilitation courses in the case of repeated violations.
