More Wi-FI and new cameras; RTA taxis are getting upgrades and it’s hard to keep up!<\/p>\n

Wi-FI will soon be rolled out in more Dubai taxis. Currently Wi-Fi is already available in a number of taxis but the Roads and Transport Authority, in partnership with du, has announced a further 10,000 taxis will be connected.<\/p>\n

Wi-Fi will be rolled out in test phases, according to a Khaleej Times report.<\/p>\n

New cameras fitted in RTA taxis will soon act as a further street monitoring system<\/h3>\n

A trial period is currently in progress.<\/p>\n

10 taxis have three new cameras fitted; one at the front of the vehicle, one at the back and one inside. The potential new system will also aid data collection for town-planning.<\/p>\n

Currently, the accuracy of the cameras is at 95%, the RTA is working to upgrade the technology to 99% accuracy.<\/p>\n

These cameras can read faces, plates and road signs<\/h3>\n

The high-spec cameras can read faces and recognise number plates.<\/p>\n

Number plate tracking means authorities have a fast-track way of knowing if cars are on the road illegally, if registration renewal is required and the number of cars from different emirates that are on the roads.<\/p>\n

The cameras can even detect incorrect road signs, adverts on roads and mistakes in commercial signs.<\/p>\n

If the trial period is successful, the system will be rolled out to 500 more taxis.<\/p>\n
