Posted by Zaran Tarapore on Apr 24, 2018
In a bid to improve efficiency in Dubai’s paid parking zones, the Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) has unveiled a smart scan system for the monitoring & enforcement of parking fee payments. The new system utilizes a device on top of the inspection vehicle and artificial intelligence to detect vehicles in breach of parking fee payments.

Maitha bin Adai, CEO of Traffic and Roads Agency, said, “The Smart Scan System of public parking in Dubai involves the deployment of a vehicle, driven by parking inspectors, and equipped with a device on top capable of spotting vehicles for which no parking fees were paid. The system will step up the efficiency of monitoring and enforcement and reduce the potential errors in filing offences.
With the rise in e-parking payments, Maitha stressed the importance of introducing smart technologies as the system will help reduce human error and cut down the number of disputes involving parking fines. Inspectors who have traditionally had to walk from one parking lot to the other in the scorching heat in search of parking violators, will now be able to speed up the process while sat in comfort.
