RTA unveils initiatives to mark ‘UAE Innovation Month’

Dubai’s Roads and Transport Authority, RTA, has unveiled a number of programmes to mark the UAE Innovation Month, which ends on February 29th.

These include RTA Startup Challenge, the TEDxRTA, and the Tech Taxi event at the Dubai World Centre.

During the UAE Innovation Month, RTA is also rolling out the AR-enabled digital signage at Emirates Towers Boulevard. These signs display instant information to pedestrians, road users and motorists about the least congested zones.

The RTA will also launch SmartNav for visually-challenged individuals, which will guide them right from the entrance of the station/nol kiosk to the ticket validation gates and all the way to the station platform and the door of the metro cabin.

RTA’s will also host a Transport Art exhibition, where several artists will exhibit murals depicting their perception for the future of transport in Dubai.
