Sheikh Mansoor bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Chairman of Dubai's Supreme Committee of Crisis and Disaster Management, opened the new Central Operations Room of Dubai's Transport Security Department.

The Central Operations Room features a smart reporting system that aims to further reduce the Transport Security Department's emergency response time as well as increase accuracy of incident reporting to 95 per cent. The Room also features LTE communication devices that will help replace 80 per cent of voice messages sent by the system with text messages.
