Taxi drivers who fall asleep at the wheel will get a wake up call with a new system being implemented by the Dubai Taxi Corporation (DTC).\u00a0<\/p>\n

CEO\u00a0of DTC,\u00a0Dr. Yousef Al Ali announced the move in a statement outlining the improvement in the rate of traffic accidents taxi cars were involved in – dropping down to 0.23 accidents per 100,000km from 0.61 per 100,000km in 2009.\u00a0<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

“The DTC is intending to launch a driver monitoring system via on board cameras to spot events of declining attentiveness or sudden sleeping of taxi drivers to avoid potential accidents.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

Dubai taxis covered 94 million km in 2016,\u00a0and the\u00a0DTC\u00a0is keen to drop accident rates lower with the help of technologies.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n

“It has introduced the Brake Plus system in DTC taxicabs where a four-way flasher system automatically operates once the driver applies the brake to slow down or suddenly stop, in order to minimize the chances of rear side collisions.”<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Dr Yousef Al Ali<\/cite>\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Taxis also have a speed-cap of 120kmph, to reduce speeding\u00a0and the DTC\u00a0is analysing problem areas around Dubai to analyse the causes of accidents to introduce remedial measures.\u00a0<\/p>\n
