AI railway inspection system boosts Dubai metro safety

Dubai’s Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) has introduced the Automated Railway Infrastructure Inspection System (ARIIS), an AI-driven platform designed to enhance operational maintenance and safety across the Dubai Metro network.

The system uses advanced robotics equipped with sensors, lasers, and 3D cameras to autonomously inspect rail tracks and critical infrastructure without disrupting services. By replacing time-intensive manual inspections, ARIIS improves efficiency and supports proactive maintenance strategies, reducing overall costs by up to 25% and enhancing resource management by 40%.

The initiative aligns with Dubai’s broader vision to advance AI integration and build sustainable infrastructure, positioning the city as a leader in smart mobility solutions.
