It is designed to yield a range of measurable outcomes, most notably, reducing travel time by 20% to 30% through optimised traffic signal operations and intelligent pedestrian mobility solutions. The strategy also targets a 25% to 40% increase in productivity by equipping employees with AI-driven tools, and aims to reduce costs by 10% to 20% through AI-powered platforms supporting asset management, predictive maintenance, and driver assessment.' He continued: 'The strategy further aims to improve customer happiness by 35% and enhance partner compliance by 30% to 50%. RTA continues to lead in harnessing big data and artificial intelligence. Since the launch of its Big Data Platform in 2017, RTA has maintained its pioneering position in this field, introducing a joint Big Data and AI Roadmap (2021-2025), followed by the launch of a dedicated AI Platform in 2022 to support the efficient and scalable development of AI-driven applications.' Al Tayer explained: 'The Big Data Platform plays a pivotal role in managing and streamlining data exchange across RTA's corporate systems. Since its inception, the platform has recorded an annual growth rate of 30%, with total data capacity now exceeding 670 terabytes-the equivalent of more than 235 billion pages. It is integrated with 49 corporate systems and supports over 280 data points, enabling connectivity across diverse data sources within RTA's operations. The platform has facilitated more than 12 AI use cases and significantly enhanced the operational efficiency of our Enterprise Command and Control Centre.' Since 2017, RTA has implemented over 40 big data and AI use cases, including predictive maintenance for buses, sentiment analysis of passenger feedback, forecasting parking space occupancy, and integrating generative AI into our enterprize chatbot, 'Mahboub'. We are currently studying the implementation of 45 additional use cases, including optimising water and electricity consumption in the Dubai Metro and enhancing the public bus network using advanced AI technologies,' he stated. Awards and Achievements RTA has garnered distinguished recognition in the fields of Big Data and Artificial Intelligence, achieving top rankings both locally and regionally. RTA was honoured as one of the pioneering government entity in the Artificial Intelligence and Data Science category of the 2024 Dubai Government Excellence Programme.
