Dubai’s Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) has rolled out UTC-UX Fusion, a next-generation traffic signal control system that uses artificial intelligence (AI) and digital twin technology to revolutionize traffic management across the city. The innovative system is designed to reduce congestion, enhance road efficiency, and contribute to smarter, data-driven urban mobility.
Unlike traditional traffic systems, UTC-UX Fusion dynamically adjusts signal timings based on real-time traffic data and predictive modelling. By simulating traffic patterns before implementation through digital twin technology, the system allows RTA to optimize signal performance at busy intersections and during peak hours.
Key Features of UTC-UX Fusion:
- Real-time traffic prediction to fine-tune signal timings
- Simulation capabilities using digital twin models before live activation
- Seamless integration with future sensor data for continuous optimization
- Priority-based management, allowing smoother flow for critical routes
Expected Benefits:
- Up to 20% reduction in journey times on major Dubai roads
- Enhanced traffic flow during rush hours and at high-traffic junctions
- Significant improvement in city-wide mobility and commuter experience
The introduction of UTC-UX Fusion marks a major milestone in Dubai’s smart city journey, aligning with its vision to adopt sustainable and intelligent transport solutions that respond proactively to real-world conditions.
