Saeed Alramsi, Director of Asset Management at RTA, said there are currently about 65,000 delivery bike riders in the city and that number is growing. The new technology will detect speeding, harsh braking, sharp turns, whether riders use safety gear, and whether they veer off assigned routes via geofencing.
