RTA explores quantum tech to predict traffic congestion

MOVE AIMS TO ENHANCE THE PERFORMANCE OF SMART MOBILITY SYSTEMS

- BY ASHWANI KUMAR

Dubai's Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) is actively exploring quantum solutions for real-world transport challenges like traffic prediction, autonomous vehicle guidance and public transport optimisation.

The initiative focussing on quantum communication, computing and cybersecurity positions RTA among the first government entities in the region to delve into the potential of this next-gen tech within the transport sector. The adoption of such technologies aligns with Dubai's vision for future readiness and smart city transformation.

The move aims to enhance the performance of smart mobility systems, strengthen digital security, and accelerate Dubai's transition to sustainable, data-driven infrastructure.
