Abstract

This research aims to understand what Dubai is willing to do and to provide in terms of smIntelligent Transportation Systems with emphasis on capacity optimization of traffic and understanding TRLs and absorption capacity for AI in Intelligent Transportation Systems Traffic Prediction and Control Systems. The research is important in the context of the concept of a smart city for Dubai and the argument that perfect for the object of examination – transport – can and should integrate new technologies easily into the existing context. Drawing from a population of smart city literature development, traffic and Smart technology, the present study employed mixed-method research. These include simulation and modelling, technology assessments, and the use of multiple techniques as well as hybrid modelling to consider Dubai’s ability to absorb such change. The element of AI in traffic anticipation and traffic controls forms the foundation of this research. Some of the data sources are, but are not restricted to, governmental reports, traffic statistics, research interviews and pilot investigations. These are further accompanied by secondary research information comprising of; scholarly articles, technology reviews, journals, newspapers and government policy statistics. This includes the study report for this project, the proposal for an intelligent traffic management system, the plan of the implementation of self-driving cars and the recommendation on the AI traffic forecast and control system. Besides, cost-benefit analysis and the recommendation of the further enhancement of the project’s technology are also presented. Consequently, the findings of this thesis are highly useful to expand Intelligent Transportation Systems in Dubai and can be integrated with additional endeavours of smart cities globally.
