Signal junctions rise to 412
The number of signal junctions in Dubai has increased to 412 junctions, most of which are controlled by the Traffic Control System Centre of the RTA.
Engineer Maitha bin Udai, CEO of the RTA’s Traffic and Roads Agency, said that the installation criteria and operational plans of traffic signals conform to clear-cut specifications and standards aligned with the latest international practices of traffic systems. She also stated that the agency sought the assistance of specialised international firms to review and evaluate the performance of traffic signals.
She stressed that the number of signal junctions increased recently to 412, adding, “The RTA is currently working on an integrated project to synchronise and upgrade databases for 180 main signalised junctions, where 60 of them will be completed by the current year, and 120 next year”. Bin Udai also said that the implementation of the project was in response to recommendations concluded in a traffic study conducted by the RTA to improve the performance of traffic signals in the emirate, noting that the experimental studies conducted on some junctions in Dubai showed that the trip time condropped by 15 per cent in areas covered by the study and in which the necessary adjustments were made.
“The agency attends to training engineers and operators of the Intelligent Traffic Systems on a number of traffic plans for synchronising the timing of traffic lights, where such plans may, at some junctions, reach six different plans for a single traffic light per day, depending on peak hours and frequency of congestion in roads leading to junctions. The agency also trains them on the latest techniques of signal timings, and methods of linking a number of traffic lights. The RTA is keen that the lapse time for all directions should not exceed 240 seconds and that the connected traffic signals should not exceed 16 signals,” bin Udai said. She indicated that the Traffic and Roads Agency has upgraded the capacity of devices operating the signalling system at the control centre in order to manage signal junctions.
“The centre is equipped with the latest version of a data analysis system to analyse information transmitted by sensors. The number of surveillance cameras increased to 240 cameras, and the agency is moving ahead with plans to improve the calibre of traffic services rendered to the public,” said bin Udai.
