The project also updated and developed the centralised traffic signal management network by implementing developed centralised adaptive system and servers with high-storage capacity and high-speed data processing and connecting it to all the current 81 junctions. In addition to linking 25 new traffic signalised intersections that are being constructed. Moreover, around 1400 vehicle detection sensors that are able to identify the traffic intensity were implemented to enable the centralised traffic management to efficiently and accurately manage the traffic around the clock.
Number of smart projects were also implemented like CCTV to monitor most of the junctions and main roads in Al Ain City as 87 cameras were implemented and linked to screens in the Traffic Management Centre to facilitate monitoring the traffic. Additionally, 14 Variable Message Signs (VMS) were implemented to post notifications for drivers and road users in case of traffic congestion, accidents or adverse weather conditions. Also, five electronic traffic count stations for traffic studies were established along with linking 14 monitoring stations to enhance the safety of the public and maintain the bridges and tunnels in the city.

This project will reduce the traffic congestion as it has connected the traffic system with the new Traffic Management Centre in Al Ain where a team of specialists monitors the traffic flow and ensures its smoothness around the clock.
The ITC added that road safety is enhanced by organising the traffic signals and notifying the drivers in case of emergency.
