The 7401 Department of Transport in Abu Dhabi has begun the installation and deployment of a traffic control system (TCS) in Mohammed Bin Zayed City, at a cost of around US$20 million.
The system is now operational at seven of the city’s 34 intersections following a pilot project and includes the deployment of smart and integrated traffic/pedestrian signals as well as a video surveillance system.
The system will help enhance traffic in the city by reducing congestion, boosting the safety level for all road users, especially at intersections, ensuring faster response to congestion and better travel times, as well as lowering the level of fuel consumption, noise and green house emissions.
The traffic signal control system is expected to be accomplished and fully operational at all intersections by the fourth quarter of next year.
