The initiative uses data to create models and scenarios of people’s current mobility patterns, means of transport, and other possible scenarios to make adjustments and meet transportation needs and expectations.
Dubai in Motion will facilitate more effective decision-making on transportation
Dubai’s Roads & Transport Authority (RTA) and Digital Dubai have launched the first stage of a data-based project to digitally transform transport in the city.
It will facilitate more informed and effective decision-making on transport and community planning, and to improve people’s mobility.
Mobility patterns
“Dubai in Motion” creates models and scenarios of people’s current mobility patterns, means of transport, and other possible scenarios to make adjustments and meet all needs and expectations in the transport sector.
The project provides decision-makers with insight into public transport movements, designing probable scenarios to make both operational and strategic transport-related decisions. It also provides information about areas that welcome tourists, calculates mobility time and periods, and analyses the transport movement before and after the Covid-19 pandemic.
“The data sector is gaining an increasingly significant role in fulfilling Dubai’s comprehensive digital transformation goals,” said Younus Al Nasser, assistant director general of Digital Dubai and CEO of the Dubai Data Establishment.
“When invested properly, data has great potential to present innovative solutions and strategies that support decision-making processes, building on an accurate understanding of people’s needs and life experiences in the smart city.”
“Dubai in Motion will provide decision-makers with statistics-based indices about the transport sector and people’s movement in Dubai, benefitting from both city and transport data.”
“When invested properly, data has great potential to present innovative solutions and strategies that support decision-making processes, building on an accurate understanding of people’s needs and life experiences in the smart city”
The project builds on a set of specialised data, covering hotels, communities, buses, and taxis, among others, to draw various scenarios dedicated to defining possible improvements to public transport, accessibility, and mobility.
The implementation phase will draw on accidents, airports, events, and metro data, to identify public transport efficacy, traffic at Expo 2020, and external factors influencing public transport. Furthermore, the project depicts future possibilities about green spaces planning, infrastructure, and other vital aspects.
“RTA is keen to use the latest technology such as the blockchain, paperless transactions, big data, artificial intelligence and the internet of things, and employ them in easing the mobility of people across Dubai,” said Mohammed Al Mudharreb, CEO of corporate technology support services sector, RTA.
He added: “We are confident of the powerful role of the Dubai in Motion project and the information of Dubai Pulse platform in supporting our efforts towards planning the future transportation and operations.”
Dubai in Motion is the first stage of digitally transforming transport in the city, which focuses mainly on taxi movement patterns in Dubai, encouraging people to use new and more appropriate public transport, and adopting more flexible means of transportation.

The RTA and Digital Dubai will further enhance their collaboration to create innovative methods and tools that benefit from data to improve transport planning and make informed infrastructure decisions.
Both authorities aim to develop a digital model of Dubai capable of visualising and analysing data from a large set of resources, as well as leading the city’s efforts to explore vital future-planning scenarios regarding clean transport and sustainable energy, which will further boost Dubai’s services, life quality, and economy.
