The city’s technology hub and neighbourhood, Dubai Silicon Oasis (DSO), has taken another leap towards a smarter and safer future with the introduction of 14 AI-powered pedestrian crossings.

These state-of-the-art crossings, developed by Derq, are the first of their kind in the region. One of the standout features of these crossings is the use of behaviour prediction models!

The new 14 AI-powered pedestrian crossings have impeccable cutting-edge features that are set to redefine road safety

By harnessing the power of AI, these crossings can predict pedestrian behaviour and preemptively activate warning systems

This means that before pedestrians step onto the crosswalk, the technology can activate flashing warning signs and warning lights to alert approaching vehicles way in advance. It also has the power to communicate with traffic signal controllers to optimize traffic flow.

These AI-powered crossings have undergone extensive testing for two years before implementation. This rigorous testing period ensures that the system is well-equipped to handle real-world scenarios. It’s all about safety with these new technologies!

So, as you take your next stroll through Dubai Silicon Oasis, take note of these smart pedestrian crossings.
