The Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) in Dubai is known for taking unique initiatives for the well-being and benefit of motorists. Following its tradition to launch smart initiatives to modernize the traffic monitoring system in Dubai, RTA has introduced an Artificial Intelligence (AI) System for the first time to spot vehicles that are parked in public parking zones without paying the parking fee.
This will be a Smart Scan System that will help authorities in monitoring the parking fee violations and make it tough for offenders to avoid hefty penalties. The launch of Artificial Intelligence System to scan parked vehicles is an exceptional initiative that is also a testimony to the endeavor of RTA to introduce state-of-the-art technologies for parking users in Dubai.
How the New Artificial Intelligence System Works?
The new Smart Scan System is designed to inspect public parking areas and makes use of Artificial Intelligence to detect parking fee violations. It identifies vehicles that have been parked in the public parking areas without paying the parking fee, which can land the offender in hot water as it results in serious traffic penalties. The monitoring of this parking violation will become more efficient now with the help of the newly introduced Artificial Intelligence System.
A car will be equipped with the Smart Scan System and deployed in a parking area to monitor vehicles parked without paying their parking fees. The parking inspector will drive the car equipped with the AI System in different parking zones and penalize motorists for not paying the parking fees. With the help of this smart system, the probability of a human error will be completely eliminated.

What Makes the New AI System to Spot Parking Fee Violations Extremely Important?
With e-parking services becoming the preferred choice for motorists to manage their parking-related activities in Dubai, having an intelligent system that could govern the efficiency of these smart services becomes extremely critical.
