The authority bagged 'Transportations Smart Services Excellence' award during the 21st Middle East Smart Government and Smart Cities Excellence Awards in.
The award, which is held by the Middle East Excellence Awards Institute, is meant to honour entities that make the best achievements in the 'Smart Corporate Transition'.
Abdulla Yousef Al Ali, CEO of RTA Public Transport Agency, who accepted the award in a ceremony held in Dubai, said: "It reflects the keenness of the RTA to adopt world-class standards in driving the bus sector to realise smart transition services at the highest safety standards for users."
The 'Reduced Accidents' system is aimed at alerting the bus driver as well as the Bus Control Centre of any hazards that may trigger accidents. The system comprises several aspects such as: A system for monitoring the driver's stress and fatigue and awakening him from the drowsy condition experienced; a system for monitoring potential crashes, and a system for warning against over-speeding.
The combined efforts between the Quality, Safety and Environment Office, Transportation Systems Department, Bus Department, and the Maintenance and Services Department contributed effectively to the successful implementation of the system in the agency.
The RTA is working to adopt the system to the entire bus fleet, as well as considering the feasibility of implementing it in other transit modes as well,said Al Ali.
