Dubai Police Enhances Safety with Drones
Introduction
To better enhance the safety and security of motorists in and around the city, Dubai Police have started using drones that are linked to operation rooms and broadcast live footage of traffic jams and road incidents to police officers using 4G technology.
Functionality of the Drones
The drones being used can transmit a clear image of the traffic jam or incident directly to the control room and help people take alternative routes to reduce peak hour congestion. Used for more than just traffic monitoring, the drones also assist Dubai Police in assessing fire and accident sites in the city.
Advanced Technology
Armed with an advanced camera and communications system, the drones provide live video feeds and thermal images to the central command center. This technology allows Dubai Civil Defense (DCD) and Dubai Police to better plan their responses to rescue missions and emergencies.
Historical Context
All Dubai Police patrol units have been fitted with live-broadcast technology since 2008, and in 2012, motorbike patrols were also equipped with 3G technology.
