Dubai Metro: RTA deploys AI-powered robot to inspect rail tracks
An AI-driven robot inspector with 'proactive maintenance strategies' is now being used to inspect Dubai Metro rail tracks and related infrastructure, boosting operational efficiency by 75 per cent, the Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) announced on Thursday. Called ARIIS or Automated Rail Infrastructure Inspection System, the robotic platform uses advanced LiDAR (light detection and ranging) sensors, lasers, and 3D cameras to 'autonomously inspect rail tracks and critical infrastructure without interrupting metro operations,' RTA noted. According to RTA, ARIIS boosts operational efficiency by 75 per cent, allowing for more frequent inspections to improve overall system reliability. This means the usual 2,400 man-hours needed to inspect Dubai Metro infrastructure by human personnel, can be brought down to 700 man-hours with ARIIS. With ARIIS, manual inspections can be reduced by up to 70 per cent and assessing infrastructure condition can be done more effectively by 40 per cent, RTA added, noting another important feature of ARIIS is having predictive and proactive maintenance strategies . 'Dubai is proud to lead in smart solutions to improve reliability and efficiency of Dubai Metro. The introduction of ARIIS represents another significant leap in our journey to maintain our Metro as one of the most advanced and safest public transportation networks globally, said Abdul Mohsin Kalbat, CEO of RTA's Rail Agency, in a statement shared with Khaleej Times. 'ARIIS is a milestone achievement, significantly transforming our maintenance operations by improving safety, efficiency, and data-driven decision-making,' added David Franks, managing director of Keolis MHI, operator of Dubai Metro.
